What is Urogynecology?

Urogynecology and Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery (URPS) is the surgical subspecialty of gynecology and urology that specifically addresses female pelvic floor disorders.

At Greater Boston Urology, we have a dedicated Women’s Health Center in our Dedham location, where Dr. Angel Marie Johnson, a board-certified urogynecologist, serves as the director and sees patients.

Dr. Johnson offers a warm, welcoming, and safe environment for patients of all ages and backgrounds. She is famous for saying that urogynecology is all about improving a woman’s quality of life. Many of the symptoms she treats are common in post-menopausal women. However, just because these are common symptoms, that doesn’t mean you need to live with them.

Your quality of life matters! Let us help!
