About Us!
Florida Female Urology bringing the focus back to what’s important—YOU!
Florida Female Urology is a Specialty practice that cares for women who suffer from conditions that affect their bladder. The founder, Dr. Kristie A. Greene is board-certified and fellowship trained in Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery (FPMRS). After years in large academic practices, Dr. Greene yearned to create a small niche practice that reshaped the healthcare experience for patients and brought the focus back to what’s important—YOU! Dr. Greene decided to make a change and create her very own practice, Florida Female Urology.
At Florida Female Urology, our entire practice is devoted to pelvic floor health. Bladder control and other pelvic floor conditions do occur more commonly with age, but this does not mean that it is normal or that you have to live with them. If you have symptoms that bother you, you should seek treatment. Finally, at Florida Female Urology, we only care for women and have the unique training and perspective that is essential to provide personalized world class care.
Committed to the Patient-Doctor Relationship!
“The conditions I treat are very personal. Women come into my office tearful and feeling like they are the only one with this embarrassing condition. They let it ruin their otherwise active lifestyle. Many have gone for years, sometimes decades, without seeking help. Some don’t realize there is help out there, some are too embarrassed to ask, and some have tried to seek help but either weren’t heard or perhaps became frustrated with treatments that didn’t work for them. I want patients to know that they are not alone, that there is help available, and that I am listening to them. At Florida Female Urology, treatment is not one size fits all. They are not just a number in a large waiting room, they are my patients. I want to know them, and I want them to know me. And the better we get to know each other, and the more I learn about their goals, expectations, and lifestyle, the better I can help them.”
