Jovita Kwan, NP

I am a nurse practitioner in the Division of Pediatric Urology at NYU Langone, where I specialize in the evaluation and treatment of children with bladder and bowel dysfunction and neurogenic bladders.

I earned my masters of science in nursing with a concentration in pediatrics from Columbia University in 2011 and have been working in pediatric urology ever since. In addition, I have a bachelor of science degree in human development from Cornell University.

At NYU Langone Pediatric Urology Associates, our knowledgeable physicians and caring staff provide the best possible care for the children and families in the community.

I work very closely with patients and their families to identify and treat their conditions, whether they are acute or chronic. It is critical to understand a child’s daily routine to identify the underlying cause of a condition. This enables us to provide long-term solutions that truly fit their lives. I treat every child and family with the utmost respect and dignity, ensuring they understand the rationale behind my recommendations.

My patients typically come to me with concerns that include recurrent urinary tract infections, urinary incontinence, urinary frequency, urinary urgency, painful urination, hematuria (blood in the urine), bed-wetting, and giggle incontinence. I also care for children with chronic urology conditions, such as neurogenic bladders, spina bifida, and congenital urologic birth defects.

I perform noninvasive uroflow EMG tests for evaluation of pelvic floor dyssynergia and biofeedback and pelvic floor rehabilitation for treatment of dysfunctional voiding, constipation, and encopresis. I also conduct urodynamics studies and posterior tibial nerve stimulation.

As a mother of two young children myself, I know that the health of our children is instrumental to a healthy and happy family. It is a privilege to be able to make a difference in the lives of my patients and their families.

I speak Cantonese and am continuing to learn Mandarin in order to best take care of my patients.
