Dr. Jacob Sagie, Ph.D., is a bedwetting (enuresis) specialist and a certified family psychotherapist specializing in the psychophysiology of enuresis. He founded and directed the Enuresis Clinic at Schneider Children's Medical Center (SCMCI). Since 1984 the clinic has treated patients aged 4 to 35.
