Research areas
Surgical Innovation & Outcomes
Research focused on advancing minimally invasive and laparoscopic approaches to pelvic floor surgery, with the goal of improving safety, durability, and recovery. This work evaluates surgical techniques, perioperative outcomes, and long-term effectiveness to guide evidence-based care.
Patient-Centered Pelvic Floor Care
Research aimed at improving symptom relief, quality of life, and satisfaction for patients with urinary, pelvic organ prolapse, and bowel disorders. Projects emphasize patient-reported outcomes, procedural tolerability, and shared decision-making in both office-based and surgical treatments
Education, Systems, & Quality Improvement
Scholarly work focused on optimizing surgical education, fellowship training, and care delivery models in urogynecology. This includes curriculum development, competency-based assessment, and quality initiatives that improve efficiency, access, and patient safety
Dr. Winkelman is such a wonderful physician because he has a deep and nuanced understanding of pelvic floor disorders and how to treat them, but what makes him special is how he is able to share this knowledge with patients and trainees in a way that is easy to understand
