Viktor Flores, MD

My journey into medicine began in college, where I explored the fascination I had for science and my desire to help others. In medical school, I was torn between choosing a medical or surgical specialty until I discovered urology, which combines both disciplines.

The subspecialty of pediatric urology truly resonates with me. I am drawn to serving the most vulnerable population—children. The ability to make a lifelong impact on their wellbeing is truly fulfilling for me.

I am honored to be part of the dedicated team of pediatric health providers at NYU Langone Urology Associates. We offer hope and solutions to parents and their kids, an experience that deeply aligns with my personal convictions. Knowing that my work can positively influence a child’s life is a privilege I cherish every day.

Pediatric urology captivates me because of the complexity and wide variety of its procedures: I specialize in open, robotic, laparoscopic, and endoscopic approaches to surgery. The urologic conditions my colleagues and I handle often require a high degree of creativity and problem-solving, such as repair procedures for hypospadias, a malformation present at birth in which the opening of the urethra is not located on the tip of the penis.

Medical care is also an important part of my clinical practice. My colleagues and I manage a full range of conditions, such as recurrent urinary tract infections; hydronephrosis, which is when a buildup of urine causes the kidney to swell; and bladder and bowel dysfunction.

Choosing a healthcare provider for your child is a decision of profound importance, and at NYU Langone, we understand this. Our team is committed to treating your child with the same level of care, compassion, and dedication we would offer our own children.
