Special Interests

Dr Onuma's interests reflects his philosophy to management of female pelvic floor dysfunction: listen to the concerns of the individual patient, assess with examination and appropriate investigations to establish a diagnosis (there is often more than one) and then offer a series of potential solutions with detailed discussion about how each approach might impact positively or negatively if adopted. Ultimately the individual patient, assisted by Dr Onuma, will come to a decision as to how they would like to proceed. Providing knowledge, choices and alternatives is an essential part of delivering a quality medical service so as to improve the quality of life and function of each patient as an individual with different views as to what they consider to be important.
