Michael J. DiSandro, M.D.

Pediatric urologist

Dr. Michael DiSandro, a pediatric urologist, is an expert in laparoscopic surgery, minimally invasive reflux treatment, neurogenic bladder, hypospadias and pediatric genitourinary reconstructive surgery.

His research focuses on vesicoureteral reflux (VUR), a condition in which urine backs up from the bladder into the ureters — the tubes that connect the kidneys to the bladder, and hydronephrosis, a condition in which the kidney is swollen or distended. He also is researching the possible environmental causes of hypospadias.

Before coming to UCSF, DiSandro was chief of pediatric urology at the University of Minnesota,and most recently at the University of Miami and Miami Children's Hospital. He received a medical degree from the University of Vermont, completed residencies in surgery and urology at UC Davis and completed a fellowship in pediatric urology at UCSF.
