Frequently Asked Questions
At what age can my child be seen by Dr. Ballesteros?
Dr. Ballesteros evaluates patients from infancy through adolescence. Some conditions, such as undescended testes or prenatal hydronephrosis, may prompt a referral shortly after birth. Scheduling early allows for timely monitoring or intervention when needed.
My child's pediatrician referred us for a urological evaluation. What should we expect at the first visit?
The first visit typically involves a detailed medical history review, a physical examination, and a discussion of any imaging or test results already completed. Dr. Ballesteros will explain her findings clearly and outline any next steps, whether that means watchful waiting, further testing, or a referral for a procedure.
Does Dr. Ballesteros perform minimally invasive surgery on children?
Yes, minimally invasive surgical techniques are used when appropriate for pediatric patients. These approaches often mean smaller incisions, less postoperative discomfort, and faster recovery times for children.
How is bedwetting or bladder dysfunction treated in children?
Treatment depends on the child's age, the underlying cause, and the severity of symptoms. Options may include behavioral strategies, bladder training, medication, or further evaluation for neurogenic causes. Dr. Ballesteros will assess each case individually before recommending a course of action.
Is Tampa Children's or a nearby hospital where Dr. Ballesteros performs surgeries?
For specific hospital affiliations and surgical facility information, it is best to contact Dr. Ballesteros's office directly. Staff can confirm where procedures are performed and help coordinate any pre-surgical requirements.
