Dr. Anthony G. Visco
Overview
I decided to become an obstetrician/gynecologist because I loved delivering babies, however, after seeing how treatment of pelvic floor disorders changed women’s lives I decided to specialize in urogynecology. I have been fortunate to be involved in research that has made a real difference in the lives of my patients. As part of my commitment to share the knowledge gained with other doctors, I have published several papers in national medical journals. As president of the American Urogynecologic Society (AUGS) in 2013, I participated in the development of many national programs to improve the lives of women with bladder leakage and vaginal prolapse. My main clinical interest includes performing robotic sacrocolpopexy, a highly successful, minimally invasive treatment for patients with advanced pelvic organ prolapse. I also offer Botox injections for overactive bladder, vaginal prolapse surgeries (with and without mesh) and care for patients with uterine fibroids, mesh complications and vaginal fistulas.

I find the women who seek treatment in our urogynecology specialty to be an inspirational set of people. Our ladies, who span a wide age range, are generally active and want to stay this way -- without a pelvic floor disorder weighing them down. The services and treatment options that we provide are innovative and I strive to tailor my recommendations to fit the woman in front of me -- her lifestyle, her activity level and her concerns. I am originally from Miami and moved north for the sole purpose of joining this wonderful urogynecology practice. The physicians, nursing staff, and administrative staff that I have the fortune of working with are a dynamic group who shares the common goal of providing professional and patient-focused care. I am energetic and love the performing arts, so I try to spend any free time dancing and enjoying the theater.

I became interested in pelvic floor disorders because of the emphasis on improving the quality of life. For most pelvic floor disorders – bladder, bowel, sexual dysfunction, or vaginal bulge – there are usually multiple treatment options with different pros and cons. Because each woman is different, I tend to teach each patient about her own pelvic floor issues, and then we collaborate to develop a treatment plan that incorporates her specific goals. I am actively involved in research because I think that is the way that we will develop better treatment options for women. In my spare time, I love to cook, entertain friends, and travel with my husband and children. Dr. Siddiqui is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Muscle Spasms.
