About Amanda K. Berry, PhD, MSN, CPNP
I am a nurse practitioner with a special interest in working with children with incontinence, lower urinary tract symptoms, and recurrent urinary tract infections. In my approach to care, I believe that it’s just as important to know the child as it is to know the problem they come to see us for. By leveraging their strengths and natural curiosity, we can create solutions unique to each child and family.
