About Dr. Kallas Chemaly
Dr. Anthony Kallas Chemaly is a fellowship-trained pediatric urologist practicing at Hôtel-Dieu de France (HDF) in Beirut, Clemenceau Medical Center (CMC), and Mount Lebanon Hospital. He holds an MD from Université Saint-Joseph (USJ) and a sub-specialty in pediatric urology from Université libre de Bruxelles, with advanced training at Hôpital Robert-Debré in Paris, Queen Fabiola Children's University Hospital in Brussels, and Hôpital Femme Mère-Enfant in Lyon.
His work combines daily clinical practice with academic research. PubMed-indexed articles list him as a coauthor in pediatric urology and related urologic surgery, reflecting an evidence-based approach to hypospadias, vesicoureteral reflux, hydronephrosis, undescended testis, and reconstructive pediatric cases.
He treats children from birth through adolescence for the full spectrum of pediatric urological conditions — hypospadias, vesicoureteral reflux, undescended testis, hydronephrosis, kidney stones, neurogenic bladder, and congenital anomalies of the urinary tract. He consults in Arabic, French, and English.
His practice locations serve families across Beirut and Mount Lebanon — from Achrafieh, Gemmayzeh, Saifi, and Sodeco to Verdun, Hamra, Clemenceau, and Ras Beirut. Patients also come from Rabieh, Mtayleb, Brummana, Bikfaya, Mansourieh, Kornet Chehwan, Antelias, Dbayeh, Jounieh, Kaslik, Hazmieh, Yarze, and across Keserwan and the Metn.

Conditions Treated
From prenatal diagnosis to adolescent surgery — each condition has a dedicated page with symptoms, diagnosis, treatment options, and answers to parents' questions.
A congenital condition where the urethral opening is on the underside of the penis. Surgical repair is typically performed between 6–18 months with excellent outcomes when done by an experienced pediatric urologist.

My Approach
Surgery is the last resort, not the first option. Every child gets a thorough evaluation before any decision is made.
I do not rush to operate. Every child receives a complete diagnostic workup — imaging, labs, urodynamics when indicated — so families understand exactly what we're dealing with before we discuss next steps. Many conditions resolve on their own. The ones that don't deserve the best surgical plan, not the fastest one.
Fellowship training at Robert-Debré, Queen Fabiola, and HFME exposed me to the full spectrum of pediatric urological surgery — from complex hypospadias repairs to laparoscopic reimplantation. I bring that training to every case in Beirut.
My work includes PubMed-indexed and peer-reviewed publications in pediatric urology and related surgical fields. That academic involvement helps keep my decisions current, practical, and grounded in evidence rather than routine alone.
I explain every finding, every option, and every risk — in the language that feels most natural to you. Arabic, French, or English. No jargon without definition. No decisions without understanding. Your child's care is a partnership.
