Philosophy of Patient Care
My goal is to improve women's quality of life by providing a full range of options for treating common pelvic floor disorders, such as urinary incontinence, prolapse, and fecal incontinence as well as less common pelvic floor disorders, such as complex fistulas and vaginal reconstruction. Women will be educated about the wide variety of treatments currently available, including pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation, vaginal devices, electrical stimulation, medications, and surgery, and then decide which form of treatment fits best in her lifestyle.
