Dr. Sawyer is a fellowship trained Urogynecologist and a board-certified OB/GYN.  She completed her undergraduate degrees at the University of Maryland at College Park where she graduated with a dual degree in Neurophysiology and English Literature. She then attended Medical School at the State University of New York at Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn, New York. She went on to complete residency training in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, where she completed an additional fellowship in Advanced Pelvic Surgery. Finally, she completed a three-year fellowship in Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, Texas. In her fellowship, she trained under some of the preeminent leaders in the field of urogynecology, especially in the field of pelvic anatomy. 

 

Her training is focused on the diagnosis and management of female pelvic floor disorders. These include common issues such as urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse, as well as complex gynecologic and urologic conditions such as those resulting from childbirth injuries, genital fistulas, bladder pain, and sexual dysfunction. In the care of her patients, she offers conservative therapy, minimally invasive vaginal, laparoscopic, and robotic reconstructive surgical options as well as the full breadth of treatment options for incontinence including both surgical and non-surgical options.

 

Dr. Sawyer has several peer-reviewed publications, videos, and book chapters in the field of Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery. Additionally, she has had numerous presentations at prestigious national and international meetings such as the American Urogynecologic Society (AUGS) and the Society of Gynecological Surgeons (SGS). Her research interests focus on the study of pelvic floor anatomy and on the role that cellular aging plays in the development of pelvic organ prolapse and other pelvic floor disorders. 

 

Outside of the office, she enjoys spending time with her husband, practicing yoga, painting, and hiking.
