Areas of Professional Interest

Pelvic floor and urinary disorders can cause a tremendous amount of silent suffering, as many women are too embarrassed to discuss the problem. Having important, life-changing conversations with patients about advances in technology can help alleviate pain and improve their quality of life. I enjoy helping my patients choose the treatment that matches their goals and seeing a positive, lifechanging outcome. Fortunately, awareness of conditions such as vaginal prolapse and urinary incontinence has increased, and advances in technology and evidence based medicine have improved diagnosis and treatment. I am especially interested in helping my patients with vaginal reconstructive surgery, to include surgical management of pelvic organ prolapse, urinary incontinence, childbirth trauma and vaginal mesh complications.
