Mercy welcomes urogynecology surgeon, pelvic therapy team

        Mercy Health announced that Dr. Andrew Croak and his specialized team have joined Mercy Health women’s health services.
        Mercy Health – St. Luke’s Urogynecology and Pelvic Rehabilitation is now located at 6005 Monclova Rd., Suite 320, Maumee, on the former St. Luke’s Hospital campus.
        Dr. Croak and his team provide treatments for a multitude of women’s health issues including pelvic floor issues, overactive bladder, infertility, endometriosis, annual women’s health screenings, menopausal care, DEXA scan screenings, pelvic pain, pelvic floor prolapse, urinary and fecal incontinence, and other conditions.
        “Women often think that pelvic pain and discomfort is a factor of aging, however, problems such as persistent pelvic pain or bladder and bowel control can be treated,” Dr. Croak said. “I feel privileged to have the opportunity to earn patients’ trust by helping them take back their lives and return to the things that they love to do without worry.”   
                The team offers the latest technologies in minimally invasive vaginal and pelvic surgery including robotic surgery, MyoSure Myomectomy, Mona Lisa Touch, and more. Minimally invasive surgical techniques have been shown to reduce postoperative pain and facilitate quicker recovery so that patients can resume their normal activities sooner.              Joining Dr. Croak at Mercy Health – St. Luke’s Urogynecology and Pelvic Rehabilitation are a team of specialized therapists who provide physical therapy services to address pelvic floor dysfunctions for women and men including urinary/bowel incontinence, urinary urgency and frequency, nighttime frequency, constipation, pelvic pain, post-surgical pelvic pain, among others.
        A number of experiences in one’s life can affect pelvic health, including childbirth, stress, menopause, abdominal/pelvic surgeries, athletics and job duties. Through a comprehensive evaluation and individualized treatment program using a Pilates-rehab based approach, improvements in pelvic health and overall quality of life can be achieved.
