About University of Colorado Urogynecology

Daring to Be Different

The field of urogynecology is a unique combination of urology and gynecology to treat the complex pelvic health issues many women experience, known collectively as pelvic floor disorders.

And our CU Urogynecology practice is different – aside from being the largest female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery practice in the state. Our compassionate care, team approach and university integration allow women to get comprehensive treatment and see all the relevant providers in just one visit.

CU Urogynecology provides a multidisciplinary pelvic health program, with urogynecology, colorectal, urology and physical therapy experts working in partnership to cure interrelated pelvic floor disorders women face.

We treat:

Helping women break the silence

As many as 25% of women experience one or more of the pelvic floor dysfunctions we treat. Yet many women are too embarrassed to even talk to their friends about it, let alone seek out the kind of life-changing relief we can provide.

Improving quality of life

Pelvic floor disorders tend to have harmful and wide-ranging effects on a woman’s life. These symptoms can shake the social, physical, sexual, professional and psychological spheres of a woman’s life. Improving quality of life is our most important goal.


Meet the team changing women’s lives

Changing the status quo requires uncommon dedication, compassion and unsurpassed expertise. Our multidisciplinary team is comprised of double-board certified urogynecologists who are specialists in a blend of gynecology and reconstructive surgery. Our urologists and colorectal physician focus specifically on women’s health and the pelvic floor.

We care and advocate for each woman we treat so she can attain a better quality of life
