Kristen Buono, MD

“I am privileged to have the opportunity to care for women regarding their sensitive health topics including pelvic organ prolapse, urinary and fecal incontinence. My goal is to create a safe space for patients to comfortably discuss these conditions and provide individualized medical counseling so that we can develop a treatment plan as a team. I strive to provide my patients with the quality of medical care that I would want for my own family members. My favorite aspect of my job is the ability to truly connect with a patient and improve her quality of life.”
