When your child is facing a condition involving their kidneys, bladder, ureters, or genitals, it can be difficult to know where to turn. At Hackensack Meridian Children’s Health, you’ll find experienced pediatric urologists who treat children with care, clarity, and compassion. Our team supports your family every step of the way, from diagnosis through recovery, with expert care tailored to kids and teens.
Whether your child needs help with a common condition like kidney stones or hernia, or something more complex such as hydronephrosis or undescended testes, we’re here to help. Our goal is always to support your child’s well-being while helping you understand what’s happening and feel confident in the care plan ahead.
Some conditions are identified before a child is even born. In these cases, our pediatric urologists work closely with maternal-fetal medicine specialists and neonatologiststo monitor the baby during pregnancy and plan the most appropriate treatment after birth.
Hackensack Meridian Children’s Health offers expert, compassionate care for children and teens across New Jersey. We’re proud to be ranked number one in the state for Pediatric Diabetes & Endocrinology by U.S. News & World Report ‘25-’26.
Coordinated Care for Complex Kidney and Urinary Conditions
Pediatric Nephrology and Urology Clinic
Available at both Joseph M. Sanzari Children’s Hospital and K. Hovnanian Children’s Hospital, this clinic brings together pediatric urologists and nephrologists to evaluate and treat children, from birth through young adulthood, who have complex kidney conditions. The team uses advanced tools and techniques such as extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, flexible ureteroscopy, and laser lithotripsy to treat kidney stones and other urologic concerns.
Pediatric Stone Clinic
While kidney stones are more commonly associated with adults, they’re increasingly seen in children. Our Pediatric Stone Clinic offers complete evaluations and imaging in one convenient location. This helps guide the best treatment for your child and gives families the tools to help prevent stones from forming again.

A Team Approach for Customized Treatment
Our pediatric urology surgeons take a collaborative, whole-child approach to treatment. That often means working closely with pediatric specialists in nephrology, endocrinology, and general surgery to find the most effective care plan for your child.
When surgery is needed, we aim to use the least invasive methods available. Our surgeons are highly trained in minimally invasive and robot-assisted techniques designed for small bodies, helping to minimize recovery time and discomfort. In some cases, surgery may not be needed at all, and if that’s the case, we’ll discuss the best non-surgical alternatives with you.
We also understand that surgery and hospital visits can feel scary. That’s why our child life specialists help your child prepare emotionally and mentally, offering:
- Age-appropriate explanations about procedures
- Medical play to reduce fear and build understanding
- Playrooms and creative therapies including art, music, and pet visits
- Support for families throughout the entire process
