Raymond T. Yong, MD, is a fellowship-trained pediatric urologist with specialized expertise in the care of children with complex congenital and acquired genitourinary conditions. He provides comprehensive pediatric urologic care with a focus on complex urologic reconstruction, minimally invasive and robotic surgery, and the management of congenital anomalies and pediatric urologic malignancies.

Dr. Yong is dedicated to delivering compassionate, patient-centered care that supports the physical, emotional, and developmental well-being of children and their families, emphasizing trust, clear communication, and long-term outcomes.

Clinical Expertise

Dr. Yong’s clinical practice includes the evaluation and surgical management of a wide range of pediatric urologic conditions, including:

  • Pediatric urology

  • Robotic surgery in pediatrics

  • Complex urologic reconstruction (robotic, minimally invasive, and open approaches)

  • Hypospadias

  • Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR)

  • Hydronephrosis

  • Kidney stones

  • Neurogenic bladder (including spina bifida–related conditions)

  • Spina bifida–associated urologic disorders

  • Anorectal malformations and cloacal malformations

  • Bladder exstrophy

  • Disorders of sexual development, including congenital adrenal hyperplasia

  • Pediatric genitourinary malignancies, including Wilms tumor, rhabdomyosarcoma, and testicular cancer
