Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI) is involuntary urine leakage that happens with activities like coughing, sneezing, laughing, or exercising. It often results from weakened pelvic floor muscles, common after childbirth or with aging. It's a common and treatable condition, with options like pelvic floor exercises (Kegels) and lifestyle adjustments, such as weight management, often helping to improve symptoms.

I am a urologist specializing in the medical, procedural, and surgical management of urinary symptoms in men and women including urinary leakage and difficulty urinating, female urethral disorders, pelvic organ prolapse, and bladder dysfunction caused by a neurologic condition, injury, or cancer treatment.
The conditions I treat can have a profound impact on quality of life and may lead to physical and emotional discomfort and social isolation. I recognize my patients’ need for approachable, comforting, and compassionate care that will allow them to navigate their symptoms and treatment options. Together, we develop an individualized diagnostic and treatment plan that focuses on understanding why symptoms are present and how we can best manage them.
