Info

Pediatric Urology Associates is group of physicians who specialize in the care of children and adolescents with urological and gynecological problems. Each surgeon in our group has been fellowship trained at prestigious children's hospitals in the United States and United Kingdom. All of our surgeons have pediatric renal transplantation experience as well as pediatric urologic expertise. Pediatric Urology Associates as a group, has over 70 years of cumulative clinical experience caring for complex urologic problems in children. Our senior partner, Selwyn Levitt, is one of the pioneers in the field of pediatric urology, and pediatric renal transplantation. PUA was the first urologist to practice pediatric urology exclusively, in the tri-state area. Pediatric Urologic problems are some of the most commonly occurring of childhood conditions. Simple undescended testis and hernias are extremely prevalent occurring in 1 out of every 100 boys. These problems can be taken care of by adult urologists, but it is in the best interest of children that these simple, but at times, complicated procedures be taken care of by someone who performs them routinely. Complex urologic problems, such as bladder exstrophy, hypospadias, and ureteropelvic junction obstructions should only be handled by a person with specialized surgical training in the care of children. These and many other procedures are best done by a surgeon with multiple years of training and experience in the care of children. The range of expertise that we have in the field of Pediatric Urology in our group is unmatched in the New York Metropolitan area. We can see patients from Long Island to Upstate New York.
