Frequently Asked Questions
Does Dr. Chalmers treat newborns and infants, or only older children?
Pediatric urologists like Dr. Chalmers typically see patients from birth through adolescence. Newborns with prenatally diagnosed conditions such as hydronephrosis are among the youngest patients referred for evaluation. Early assessment can be critical for protecting kidney function and guiding appropriate treatment timing.
What are common reasons a child might be referred to Dr. Chalmers?
Children are often referred for conditions such as undescended testicles, hypospadias, recurrent urinary tract infections, bedwetting that does not resolve with age, and kidney or bladder abnormalities found on imaging. A pediatrician or family doctor typically initiates the referral when these issues require specialist evaluation.
Is surgery always required for pediatric urological conditions?
Not always. Many conditions, including vesicoureteral reflux and overactive bladder, can be managed with medication, behavioral strategies, or watchful waiting. When surgery is necessary, pediatric urological procedures are generally minimally invasive and designed with a child's size and recovery needs in mind.
How do I prepare my child for an appointment with Dr. Chalmers?
Bring any prior imaging studies, lab results, and a list of current medications to the first visit. It helps to note how long symptoms have been present and whether any treatments have already been tried. Explaining the appointment to your child in simple, calm terms beforehand can reduce anxiety on the day of the visit.
Does Dr. Chalmers see patients from outside South Portland?
Pediatric urology is a specialized field with fewer practitioners, so it is common for families across Maine and neighboring areas to travel to South Portland for care. Contacting his office directly is the best way to confirm scheduling availability and whether your child's specific condition is within his current scope of practice.
