Lori M. Dulabon, D.O., urologist at LECOM Health Millcreek Surgical Specialists and Corry Memorial Hospital Rural Health Clinic, has partnered with Axonics Inc. to offer Axonics Therapy.
“As a board-certified urologist, I enjoy caring for adult patients with various urologic concerns,” said Dr. Dulabon. “These include kidney stones, prostate disorders, the most up-to-date therapies for overactive bladder and urinary incontinence, and more. The Axonics SNM procedure can be life-changing for some patients, with the added benefit of being able to test it out with a minor, low-risk procedure. This procedure can often be done in the office setting prior to having any permanent procedure performed in the operating room.”
