Urology: What to Expect

Your Hospital Experience

At Children's Medical Center Dallas, the staff of the Urology Department believes every child deserves family-centered care from a collaborative team of experts.

We know that the family is the most important source of emotional support and comfort for children, so we consider family members a vital component of each child's health-care team. We encourage you to call anytime to speak with your child's nurse or doctor at 214-730-KIDS (5437).

Your Child's Visit

If your child will be having tests (Radiology, Ultrasound, VCUG, Nuclear Medicine), you and your child will report to the testing location at the Pavilion Imaging Center or Main Radiology Department on the 1st floor of Children's. We will make every effort to schedule testing on the same day as your appointment in our offices.

If your child will not be having tests, or if he or she already has had tests, you and your child will report to the 4th Floor of Children's Medical Center's Ambulatory Care Pavillion (2350 Stemmons Frwy, Suite F4300). You will be checked in at the Urology Clinic's front desk to sign in and complete insurance information.

A medical assistant will take your child's weight, blood pressure (vital signs), and a possible urine sample.

The urologist will take a complete medical history, examine your child and go over test results with you and your child.

During the visit, the urologist will establish your child's plan of care and determine what type of future visits and tests may need to be done.

At the end of the visit, appointments will be made for follow-up visits within three months. If surgery is necessary, you will speak with a surgical coordinator to schedule.
