Our goal is to empower our patients to understand their condition and help them to make the best decision for themselves.
Pelvic Health
heart-star-icon.png
Urogynecology, also known as Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery is a subspecialty of Urology and Gynecology. Pelvic disorders such as urinary and fecal incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, pelvic pain and overactive bladder are common conditions among women.
We offer individualized treatment options including lifestyle modifications; medical management; physical therapy; and minimally invasive treatments, such as state of art robotic surgery (da Vinci®). We also offer a variety of vaginal approaches using natural tissue repair.

Lane bring you up to date with current diagnosis and treatment of all female pelvic floor dysfunctions, including urinary incontinence and other lower urinary tract conditions, disorders of the anus and rectum, and disorders of pelvic support.
Now totally revised and rewritten for today’s female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery practice, Ostergard’s Textbook of Urogynecology: Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery, Seventh Edition, offers comprehensive guidance on all aspects of this complex field.
Thorough updates include revised and rewritten content throughout, new full-color illustrations, new surgical videos, new chapters on current clinical topics, and much more.

Nerve Stimulation for Bladder & Bowel/Interstim® Therapy
Sacral Neuromodulation (Interstim® Therapy) is a novel treatment for management of many pelvic floor disorders such as urinary urgency, frequency, urinary incontinence, incomplete bladder emptying (retention) and fecal incontinence.
The small device works like a “Pacemaker” for bladder and bowel. Interstim® works by stimulating the pelvic nerves.

Robotic (da Vinci®) Surgery
The Robotic surgery is a form of laparoscopic approach. The surgery is performed by making small incisions in the abdomen.
With the advantage of state of art technology, complex surgeries can be done with less invasive approach. The technical benefits of robotic da Vinci® surgery allows for better visualization, use of multiple instrument at the same time, better dexterity and wider range of motion and many other features that allow surgeon to do fine and meticulous surgeries for complex cases.
Better visualization will help to see the tissue planes better and may cause less injury to organs. The benefit for patient is rapid healing and quick recovery.
This form of laparoscopic approach has beneficial features for meticulous surgeries to aid in rapid healing and recovery.

• Endometriosis is a disease that can affect organs other than uterus and ovaries. Bladder and bowel symptoms, back pain and neuropathies can be symptoms of endometriosis.
About Endometriosis
• Patients with Endometriosis are often misdiagnosed. On average, patients suffer for 8 years from symptoms before they are correctly diagnosed.
• Traditional imaging such as Ultrasound, CT scan and MRI can miss endometriosis.
Endometriosis is a chronic debilitating painful disease that can affect women of all ages
• Surgical excision of endometriosis can improve patient’s symptoms. Oftentimes, due to involvement of all pelvic organs and deep tissue infiltration in pelvis, proper surgical excision requires advanced surgical skills in pelvic surgery and multidisciplinary approach is required.
Make an appointment with Dr. Azadi if you suffer from pelvic pain.

What Our Patients Say About Us

DR. Azadi Is hands down the best! He goes above and beyond to deliver exceptional care. I was in the ER and they wanted to perform an emergency surgery saying that the baby was in the wrong place, he stepped in and consoled me and asked me to give him a few days and make sure of where the baby was. He was correct that the baby was fine and the surgery was not needed. He is amazing. He's more than a great doctor, he is an amazing and very sweet person.

I never felt rushed when Dr. Azadi was in the room. He took the time to answer all of my questions. His staff is just as caring as he is. He put my family at ease as well when I was in recovery. The only down side is he doesn’t practice everyday gynecology. I have never met a doctor with such good bedside manner. I highly recommend Dr. Azadi!
