Pelvic Floor Center

We believe patients should receive a full-range of conservative and minimally invasive surgical treatments for their symptoms and have designed our multi-disciplinary practice to achieve these goals. Patients referred to our Center are treated by a multi-disciplinary team of fellowship-trained female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgeons, urologists, gastroenterologists, colorectal surgeons, and nurses trained in incontinence, uterovaginal prolapse, and all pelvic floor disorders affecting women. Patients with overactive bladder and urgency will be treated in our Overactive Bladder specialty clinic, where they will receive education on conservative treatments, and also management with medications, Botox and peripheral tibial nerve stimulation. Patients needing surgical care will be treated by expert surgeons in vaginal, laparoscopic and cutting-edge robotic approaches.
