Our urologists collaborate with other Gillette experts to plan and provide custom treatment plans for you or your child, including working closely with the Gillette Spina Bifida clinic. The team's goal is to protect kidney health and support bladder and bowel control for children who have spina bifida, through specialized monitoring, personalized management plans, and treatments ranging from medication to surgery when needed. As children grow, we help them build independence and confidence, guiding a smooth transition to adult care along the way.
