Northeast Urogynecology has an active research program in both basic science and clinical areas. We often invite our patients to participate in experimental studies evaluating the use of new medications, new operations, electrical stimulation, injections, and devices to improve incontinence and prolapse.

The clinical research program has a fulltime coordinator, Rhonda Miller, who works very closely with all patients enrolled in the various studies. Dr. Lobel personally supervises all of the research being done at Northeast Urogynecology.
