Clinical Activities

I have developed and maintain a 0.8FTE urogynecologic practice since joining the Duke faculty in 1999.  I strive to provide patients the full breadth of surgical and non-surgical services in this subspecialty based on the highest quality clinical research. I operate at Duke North OR, the Ambulatory Surgical Center, and Duke Health Raleigh Hospital 1-3 days per week and see outpatients in Durham and Raleigh.  I have built a large referral base among Duke and non-Duke gynecologists and primary care providers, and patients seek my care from all over the southeast US.  I collaborate actively with Duke providers in a variety of specialties, particularly urology, colorectal surgery, and gynecologic oncology.  The majority of my patients are women in midlife and older, but I see patients of all ages. For instance, I provide clinical expertise for (pediatric and older) patients of the Duke Spina Bifida Clinic and collaborate with providers to manage these complicated patients.
