Dr. Klingele has been with OMC since 2020 and specializes in diagnosing and treating patients with pelvic floor disorders including urinary incontinence (leakage of urine) and pelvic organ prolapse (dropping of pelvic organs). Dr. Klingele’s method of care includes evaluations, medications, physical therapy, and fluid management, as well as both surgical and non-surgical procedures for various conditions. Dr. Klingele values the friendly, family-oriented, stress-free environment OMC offers and is rewarded by the progress and improvement his patients make on their journey to better health. He wants his patients to feel comfortable and says, “I try to reassure women that pelvic health issues are very common. A lot of their friends and family members also have these problems, and we want women to feel comfortable talking about it.”
