Our Approach

At our practice, we work as a team to diagnose and treat urinary incontinence, fecal incontinence, pelvic organ prolapses and other pelvic floor disorders.

Our doctors are skilled in minimally invasive techniques, which involve smaller surgeries that are less painful and heal faster. We also offer in-office treatments that don’t require surgery.

Before you visit, you’ll need to see your primary care doctor for a referral.

We diagnose and treat a variety of urologic and pelvic health conditions using advanced therapies to support your well-being and help you regain your confidence.

The conditions we treat include:

  • Difficulty emptying the bladder
  • Fecal incontinence, accidental bowel leakage
  • Fistulas, abnormal connections between the rectum or bladder and vagina
  • Overactive bladder – also known as urgency urinary incontinence – accidental leakage of urine with a full bladder, with urgency or on the way to the toilet
  • Pelvic organ prolapse, when the vaginal walls and/or pelvic organs – bladder, rectum or uterus – start to drop into the vaginal area due to weakened pelvic muscles
  • Stress urinary incontinence, accidental leakage of urine with laugh, cough, sneeze or exercise
  • Trauma from childbirth
  • Pelvic floor disorders affect one in three women. Even though these conditions are common, they don't have to be a normal part of aging. The good news is that many pelvic floor disorders can be treated successfully by a specialist. Urogynecologists are doctors who have completed specialized training to help women with these conditions.

    Many things can cause pelvic floor disorders, including:

  • Aging
  • Certain medical conditions such as diabetes and chronic constipation
  • Family history
  • Loss of muscle tone
  • Menopause
  • Obesity
  • Vaginal deliveries
  • Some women feel embarrassed or think these are just a normal part of aging or childbirth, so they don't seek help. However, most pelvic floor disorders can be treated with medicine, physical therapy or simple surgeries.

    There are many reasons for pelvic floor disorders, including childbirth, weight gain, hormonal changes during menopause, family history, or simply aging. Our expert treatment can make life easier. If you answer “yes” to any of the following symptoms, we encourage you to make an appointment today for a formal evaluation.

    1. During the last three months, did you leak urine?
      • When you were performing some physical activity, such as coughing, sneezing, lifting, or exercise?

      • Without physical activity and without a sense of urgency?

    2. Do you:

      • Have the feeling of a bulge in the vaginal area that makes it difficult to have sexual relations?
      • Wear liners, pads, diapers, or toilet paper, or do you change your undergarments to protect your clothes from loss of urine or stool?
      • Lose stool beyond your control?
      • Worry that you may leak urine, stool or gas during sexual relations?

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Yes, you must get a referral from your primary care doctor before you can meet with one of our specialists.

    To schedule an appointment, first ask your primary care doctor to submit a referral.

    Then, call us at the number above, so we can set up an appointment.

    Laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive procedure where small incisions are made instead of a large, open incision. This allows your body to recover faster and with less discomfort.

    Laparoscopic surgery is often used for a variety of urological procedures, such as kidney surgery and the removal of benign or cancerous growths.

    We utilize da Vinci® robotic surgery tools to assist us in performing the least invasive type of surgery, while also being the most precise.

    Cameras inserted through tiny incisions provide us with 3D images that allow us to perform the surgery more efficiently, helping you to heal more quickly and with less scarring.

    This is commonly used for conditions like fistulas, bladder or kidney cancer.
