Frequently Asked Questions
What ages does Dr. Close treat?
Dr. Close treats patients from infancy through adolescence. Pediatric urology care is tailored to each stage of development, so families with newborns, toddlers, school-age children, and teenagers are all welcome. Contact her office to confirm scheduling for your child's specific age group.
My child has been having recurring urinary tract infections. Should I see a pediatric urologist?
Recurring UTIs in children can signal an underlying issue such as vesicoureteral reflux or a structural abnormality. A pediatric urologist like Dr. Close can perform the appropriate evaluation to identify the cause and recommend a targeted treatment plan. Early intervention often prevents long-term kidney complications.
What is vesicoureteral reflux and does Dr. Close treat it?
Vesicoureteral reflux is a condition where urine flows backward from the bladder toward the kidneys, which can lead to infections and kidney damage over time. Dr. Close has expertise in evaluating and managing this condition in children. Treatment options range from watchful waiting and medication to minimally invasive procedures, depending on the severity.
How do I know if my son needs to be evaluated for hypospadias or an undescended testicle?
Both hypospadias and undescended testicles are typically identified shortly after birth, often by a pediatrician. If your child's doctor recommends a urology referral, scheduling an evaluation with Dr. Close is a straightforward next step. Early assessment is important because timing of treatment can affect long-term outcomes.
Does Dr. Close see patients from outside Henderson, such as from Las Vegas?
Yes, Dr. Close serves families throughout the greater Las Vegas metropolitan area, including Henderson and surrounding communities. Pediatric urology specialists are relatively limited in the region, and her practice welcomes referrals from across southern Nevada. Call her office to discuss scheduling and any insurance questions.
