Frequently Asked Questions
What age range does Dr. Kim treat?
Dr. Kim specializes in pediatric urology, meaning he typically sees patients from newborns through late adolescence. Parents should contact his office directly to confirm whether their child's age and condition fall within his practice scope.
What should I expect at my child's first urology appointment with Dr. Kim?
The first visit usually involves a detailed medical history review, a physical examination, and a discussion of any imaging or test results you have brought. Dr. Kim will explain potential diagnoses and outline next steps, which may include further testing or a referral for a procedure.
Does Dr. Kim perform minimally invasive or laparoscopic surgery in children?
Pediatric urologists commonly use minimally invasive techniques for many procedures, including laparoscopic and robotic-assisted approaches. Ask Dr. Kim's team which surgical method is most appropriate for your child's specific condition during the consultation.
How do I know if my child needs to see a pediatric urologist rather than a general pediatrician?
Your pediatrician will typically refer you to a pediatric urologist if your child has recurrent urinary tract infections, structural kidney or bladder abnormalities, bedwetting that persists beyond typical developmental milestones, or conditions such as hypospadias or undescended testes. A referral ensures your child receives care from a specialist with surgical and diagnostic expertise in pediatric urinary tract conditions.
