Her subspecialty interests include: the care of patients with spina bifida and the neurogenic bladder, care of patients with genitourinary anomalies associated with colorectal and pelvic floor malformations, bladder exstrophy and epispadias, cloacal exstrophy, posterior urethral valves, vesicoureteral reflux and urinary tract infections, megaureter and congenital ureteropelvic junction obstruction. Dr. Varda is fellowship trained in the use of both open and robotic techniques for reconstructive surgery.

    Dr. Varda completed her residency in the Harvard-Longwood Program in Urology and her fellowship at Boston Children’s Hospital. She spent additional time after her fellowship focusing on training for the care of patients with congenital anomalies requiring complex surgical reconstruction.
