And the sooner the problem can be "fixed," the better. Pediatric urologist Jonathan Ross, MD, understands this. And so do his colleagues, Lynn Woo, MD, and Edward Cherullo, MD, at University Hospitals (UH) Urology Institute Pediatric Urology Center. "We're building a nationally ranked comprehensive Pediatric Urology Center," says Dr. Ross, the Center's director. "Through our connection with UH Rainbow Babies & Children's Hospital and their pediatric subspecialists, many of whom are national leaders, we're able to provide a full range of medical and surgical services for children — infants through teens." 28 | Cleveland-Akron-Canton MD NEWS ■ MDNEWS.COM ■ JULY-AUGUST 2012 BUILDING (L-R) Jonathan Ross, MD, Lynn Woo, MD, and Edward Cherullo, MD, are building a comprehensive Pediatric Urology Center as part of University Hospitals (UH) Urology Institute in conjunction with UH Rainbow Babies & Children's Hospital.
