Summary

I specialize in the treatment of women with pelvic floor disorders (including prolapse, urinary and fecal incontinence, and bladder, ureteral, and rectovaginal fistulas), often times utilizing minimally invasive (laparoscopic, vaginal and robotic) surgical and nonsurgical treatments.

My clinical interests focus on vaginal reconstructive procedures for congenital genitourinary anomalies; complex gynecologic surgery including fibroids; sacral neuromodulation and onabotulinum toxin A (Botox).
