Frequently Asked Questions
What ages of patients does Dr. Carolan treat?
Dr. Carolan sees patients from newborns through adolescents as a pediatric urologist. Some practices also accommodate young adults with congenital conditions they have managed since childhood. Contact her Scottsdale office directly to confirm whether your child's age and condition fall within her practice scope.
What are common reasons parents bring their child to a pediatric urologist?

Does Dr. Carolan perform minimally invasive surgery on children?
Pediatric urologists trained in surgery routinely use minimally invasive techniques, including laparoscopic and robotic-assisted approaches, when appropriate for a child's size and condition. These methods typically reduce recovery time and postoperative discomfort. Ask Dr. Carolan's team which surgical approach best fits your child's specific diagnosis.

Many pediatric urology appointments begin with a referral from a child's pediatrician or primary care provider, though some practices in Arizona also accept self-referrals. Contact Dr. Carolan's office to verify your insurance and referral requirements before scheduling.

What should I expect at my child's first urology appointment?
The first visit typically includes a thorough review of your child's medical history, a physical examination, and a discussion of any relevant imaging or test results. Dr. Carolan will explain her findings and outline potential next steps, which may include additional testing, watchful waiting, medication, or surgical evaluation.
