Care Philosophy: The urogynecology team provides expert care to women with pelvic organ prolapse and urinary incontinence. We begin with an office evaluation and discussion with each patient about her condition and goals, so that we can tailor a treatment approach specifically for her. Our extensive experience enables us to offer patients the full range of the latest evidence-based, surgical and nonsurgical options.
