Local, Personalized Care For Your Child

by Amy Sharp

Pediatric urologists have special training in diagnosing and treating problems affecting the kidney, bladder, and urinary tract of children. Pediatric Urology of Houston founder Dr. Angela Mittal says, “We help our young patients and their parents deal with everything from bedwetting to kidney stones and urinary tract infections to inguinal hernias.”

“For parents, it can be stressful to learn your child needs to see a pediatric urologist,” says Dr. Mittal. “I get it, I’m a parent myself. This is why I place a very large emphasis on personalization of care…something I feel can get lost at the larger institutions. People should be able to call and talk to their doctor! It’s something I look for in my girls’ doctors, and I want the same for my patients. My goal is to provide the type of care that I would want for my own children, and to make patients and their families feel as comfortable as possible during the process. That includes being able to speak to me.”

“Care for your child should also be convenient,” continues Dr. Mittal. “And Houston is huge. While the large institutions have outreach clinics all over the Metroplex, most procedures are done in the Medical Center. It’s a prohibitive environment to drive to, and it can be difficult to navigate. I see patients in the community and operate at the local hospitals.”

Dr. Mittal attended medical school at the University of Mississippi. After completing a six-year residency at Johns Hopkins Hospital, she went on to earn a pediatric fellowship at The University of Miami. Dr. Mittal treats all aspects of pediatric urology at Pediatric Urology of Houston.

“I love kids, and I love everything about pediatrics,” says Dr. Mittal. “Everyone tells you the worst part of pediatrics is the parents. But as a parent I am able to understand their concern and address it appropriately. They do what is in the child’s best interest, and there’s just something wonderful about that. It’s a privilege to be entrusted by parents to take care of their children. I take that responsibility to heart!”
