Urology Psychology Services
The Division of Urology at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) works closely with our partners in Psychology to offer comprehensive care that addresses the emotional and behavioral needs of children with urological conditions. Our dedicated team is committed to providing compassionate support and guidance, ensuring that every child receives personalized care to navigate the challenges associated with bladder and kidney issues.
