Jonathan Gerber, MD

Dr. Jonathan Gerber is a fellowship trained Pediatric Urologist who believes that the child is the most important person in the room during a clinic visit and should be treated as such in order to alleviate the usual fear of seeing a doctor. He strives to include the child in the conversation and decision making and ensure that caregivers have a true understanding of the diagnosis and treatment plan before leaving the office.

Dr. Gerber is a native Houstonian and attended medical school in Houston at UTHealth, followed by a urology residency at SUNY Downstate in Brooklyn, NY. Afterwards he completed his pediatric urology fellowship at Texas Children's Hospital/Baylor College of Medicine.

His clinical interests include the full breadth of pediatric urology, from prenatal urologic counseling, newborn circumcisions and revisions to hernias, hydrocele and undescended testicles. He sees hydronephrosis, kidney stones, urinary tract infections, obstructive uropathy, neurogenic bladder including spina bifida, and hypospadias.

Dr. Gerber comes from a long line of health care professionals. Visiting his grandfather's pediatric clinic, he would remind him how special this job is to take care of children, day in and day out. Pediatric urologic diagnoses can be some of the most concerning for patients and caregivers. At UTMB, we are here to work together to get them through whatever it is they may be facing so that they can get back to being children.
