Hazel Hawkins Memorial Hospital (HHMH) is pleased to expand Women’s Health Services by introducing Katherine Volpe, MD to support women’s health in San Benito County.
Dr. Volpe recently joined the HHMH Medical Staff adding the specialized field of Urogynecology or “female urology” which treats disorders of the female pelvic floor. She is a fellowship trained Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery specialist and a board-certified gynecologist.
One in three women will have issues with urinary leakage, bowel control or pelvic organ prolapse during their lifetime. Despite how common these issues are, women are often hesitant to discuss them with their physician. Dr. Volpe understands the sensitive, personal nature of these conditions. Though most pelvic floor conditions are not dangerous to a woman’s health, they can have devastating impacts on a woman’s quality of life. There are a wide variety of evaluation and treatment options. “I’m honored to guide my patients through their many options from holistic and complementary therapies to minimally invasive surgeries,” states Dr. Volpe.
Dr. Volpe joins Dr. James Lilja, Gynecologic Oncologist and Dr. Elaine Lee, a General Surgeon specializing in benign breast disease and breast cancer care
The HHMH Women’s Health specialists are located at the Hazel Hawkins Primary Care and Surgical Specialty Center located at 930 Sunset Drive, Bldg. 1, Suite C.
