My name is Amie Kawasaki, MD. I am a Female Pelvic Medicine & Reconstructive Surgery board-certified Urogynecologist and Assistant Professor at Duke University. I serve as the Urogynecology Fellowship Program Director as well as Medical Director. I enjoy an active clinical career that involves the diagnosis and treatment of a variety of conditions such as prolapse, urinary incontinence, urinary retention/voiding dysfunction, fecal incontinence, pelvic floor dysfunction and recurrent urinary tract infections. Being fellowship trained affords me the ability to offer a wide range of evidence-based treatment options. I am experienced with the medical management of overactive bladder, as well as with advanced treatment of the condition – performing posterior tibial nerve stimulation, intravesical botulinum injections, and sacral neuromodulation. I can offer the counseling and fitting of patients desiring non-surgical pessaries for prolapse as well as the surgical treatment of prolapse via vaginal native tissue surgery, graft-augmented procedures, and minimally-invasive laparoscopic and robotic techniques. My clinical practice is comprehensive and includes the use of pelvic floor physical therapy to improve patient care. I practice in a university-based system and am actively involved in the education of medical students, residents and FPMRS fellows. I have a particular interest in both community and medical education and increasing the knowledge and awareness of pelvic floor disorders. I actively participate in clinical research by offering the patient population and variety of treatments that investigators are assessing. I also support clinical research agendas by assisting in recruitment and facilitating communication among different specialties that treat potential research subjects.
