Languages Spoken: English
Dr. Whitney Hendrickson is a fellowship trained Urogynecologist and women’s health provider in the Urogynecology and Pelvic Reconstructive Surgery division.
Dr. Whitney Hendrickson received her M.D. from University of Massachusetts. She completed her Obstetrics and Gynecology residency from UC San Diego in San Diego, California. Following residency, Dr. Hendrickson completed a fellowship in Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina. Dr. Hendrickson’s clinical interest include the medical and surgical treatment of pelvic organ prolapse and urinary incontinence, especially those women whose initial treatments have not been successful. She offers a robotic minimally invasive approach to prolapse surgery as well as sacral neuromodulation to those with urgency incontinence, fecal incontinence and non-obstructing urinary retention. She is accepting new patients with pelvic floor disorders.
Dr. Hendrickson’s research interests are in outcomes research, specifically in developing clinical tools to help clinicians and patients make better informed treatment decisions. She has developed predictive tools for urgency urinary incontinence as well as helped to improve predictive tools for post-surgical complications. She is currently a Women’s Reproductive Health Research (WRHR) scholar through the NIH/NICHD where she is studying outcomes after OnbotulinumToxinA and Sacral Neuromodulation for Urgency urinary incontinence.
