Arkansas Children's Urology has a long-standing history of caring for children who need improvements in their bladder, kidney and urinary tract. Our program started more than 40 years ago and has grown to include surgeons, advanced practice registered nurses, multiple specialty and clinic nurses, and clinics in Springdale, Jonesboro, and central Arkansas. Children from across the state and region depend on the care of the Urology Service at Arkansas Children's. Whether they need a complex birth defect repaired, assistance with prolonged bed-wetting or help to resolve kidney stones, children require specialized care. Their bodies are smaller and more delicate. Their treatments must be too.

Families know they receive care tailored to their children when they bring them to the urology clinic at Arkansas Children's. Our board-certified, fellowship-trained urologists understand that urologic disorders can be challenging both physically and emotionally. We offer comprehensive support that begins at the first evaluation and continues past recovery.

Our urologists offer families expertise in noninvasive testing and minimally invasive surgery. They also have special training in a wide range of disorders including hypospadias, dysfunctional voiding and ambiguous genitalia.

Our specialists spend time with each patient, listening carefully to their concerns and creating a plan with the family's input. This patient-focused environment leads to a better outcome for every child.

What sets Arkansas Children's Urology apart?

  • Over 11,000 urologic treatment visits are provided annually.
    • Arkansas Children's Hospital Urology Clinic: 8,636 completed visits.
    • Combined total for multiple locations (Arkansas Children's Hospital Urology, Arkansas Children's Northwest Urology, Jonesboro Urology): 11,960 completed visits.
  • Arkansas Children's is the only hospital in the state with three pediatric urology surgeons trained in using the da Vinci Surgical Robot. This gives more children access to minimally invasive procedures, resulting in:
    • Less post-surgical pain
    • Faster recovery
    • Reduced scarring
  • Arkansas Children's Urology provides care for a high volume of conditions common in children, including:
    • Hypospadias
    • Circumcisions
    • Undescended testicles
    • Bedwetting
  • Arkansas Children's uses telehealth to deliver cost-effective, high-quality care while improving access for families. This flexible approach saves time and money and makes specialized care more convenient across the state. The program includes:
    • Clinic-to-clinic visits: Patients in Springdale or Jonesboro are seen locally while connecting with a provider in Little Rock.
    • Home-based visits: Patients attend their appointments entirely online from the comfort of their own homes.
  • Arkansas Children's features specialized pediatric anesthesiologists who are expertly trained to provide precise pain control tailored to each child's needs. Their focused care ensures safe, comfortable surgical experiences for young patients.
  • Arkansas Children's uses specialized medical equipment designed to make every step of a child's care journey - from exams to surgery to home recovery - more comfortable.
  • Arkansas Children's offers prenatal consultations for congenital urologic disorders diagnosed before the baby is born. If available for the family, we offer these consults as a video visit with our provider from the comfort of their home.
