Frequently Asked Questions
What ages of patients does Dr. Cheng treat?
Dr. Cheng treats patients from birth through late adolescence. Pediatric urology covers a wide age range, including newborns diagnosed with congenital abnormalities, school-age children with voiding issues, and teenagers with ongoing urological concerns. Families can schedule a consultation to determine whether their child's condition falls within her scope of care.
My child was diagnosed with vesicoureteral reflux. Can Dr. Cheng help?
Yes, vesicoureteral reflux is one of the conditions Dr. Cheng commonly manages. Treatment options range from watchful waiting and antibiotic prophylaxis to minimally invasive injection therapy or surgical correction, depending on the severity. Dr. Cheng will review imaging and clinical history to recommend the most appropriate approach for your child.
How do I know if my child needs to see a pediatric urologist instead of a general pediatrician?
A referral to a pediatric urologist is typically appropriate when a child has recurrent urinary tract infections, a known congenital abnormality of the kidney or urinary tract, bedwetting that persists beyond the expected age, or a visible anatomical concern. Your child's pediatrician can provide a referral, or you may contact Dr. Cheng's office directly to discuss your child's symptoms.
Does Dr. Cheng perform surgery on children?
Yes, Dr. Cheng is a trained pediatric urological surgeon. She performs procedures such as hypospadias repair, pyeloplasty, and ureteral reimplantation, among others. All surgical care for pediatric patients is conducted in a setting equipped and staffed for the unique needs of children.
What should I bring to my child's first appointment with Dr. Cheng?
Bring any prior imaging studies such as ultrasounds or voiding cystourethrograms, lab results, records of urinary tract infections, and a list of current medications. A summary from your child's pediatrician or referring provider is also helpful. Having this information ready allows Dr. Cheng to evaluate your child's history thoroughly during the first visit.
