Maria Florian-Rodriguez, M.D.

I’m passionate about treating women with pelvic floor disorders like urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse because we have so many therapies that can dramatically improve their quality of life. These conditions are common – but it doesn’t mean women have to live with them. My approach is to start with the most conservative treatment and then, if needed, we can work toward more advanced and surgical techniques.
