Nearly 25 percent of U.S. women are affected by pelvic floor disorders. Many women consider them to be part of the aging process and are too embarrassed to bring them up to their provider. The result is that these conditions often go untreated, affecting quality of life.

They understand that pelvic floor disorders can have a big impact on your daily life. They are committed to working with you and arriving at the best possible treatment options for you.

Leading-edge female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery (urogynecology, urology) surgical care

Our female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery (urogynecology, urology) specialists offer minimally invasive pelvic floor surgery to treat complex conditions. Our minimally invasive surgeries can be:

  • Laparoscopic: Laparoscopy is minimally invasive surgery performed through small incisions in the abdomen. This method allows surgeons to reach areas harder to access vaginally.
  • Vaginal: Vaginal surgery is minimally invasive surgery performed via the vagina.
  • Robotic: Surgeons perform these minimally invasive procedures using robotic technology, allowing for more precision, faster recoveries and less blood loss.
