I am a urogynecologist and see patients with pelvic organ prolapse, incontinence, fistulas, recurrent urinary tract infections, bladder pain, and other pelvic floor disorders!
I am specifically interested in overactive bladder- how and why it happens, who does it happen to, and new treatments for this. I have published articles on treatment efficacy for overactive bladder. We are currently working on looking into why patients do not progress onto more advanced therapies for overactive bladder. We also have another study in collaboration with our minimally invasive gynecology colleagues looking at the variation in type of prolapse in women with larger fibroid uteri.
