Additional Information
Disorders of the pelvic floor, such as incontinence and prolapse, affect more than half of all women in their lifetime. These disorders can have a devastating impact on a woman’s quality of life. I believe it is critical to educate women in the recognition and understanding of their condition. I take a comprehensive approach to diagnosing and treating these disorders. All surgical and nonsurgical options are discussed extensively with each patient. I take pride in my individualized and personal approach to the management of every patient and each patient is an active participant in developing her specialized treatment plan.

It is my mission and passion to provide the highest quality of care and help women achieve success in overcoming their pelvic floor disorders.
