Clinical Interests
Dr. Oliver's main clinical interests include surgical management of female urinary incontinence, overactive bladder, pelvic organ prolapse, and pelvic reconstructive surgery, including vaginal, urinary tract, and pelvic reconstruction, surgery for female urethral stricture disease, urethral diverticulum, and genitourinary fistulae, and surgical management of sequelae or complications of previous pelvic surgeries (such as repeat and revision surgery for incontinence or prolapse and surgery for mesh-related complications, amongst others).

Care Philosophy
Dr. Oliver provides comprehensive, personalized care focused on complex lower urinary tract (bladder and urethra) and pelvic floor disorders in women. She specializes in functional and reconstructive lower urinary tract and pelvic surgery in women. She treats urinary incontinence, voiding dysfunction, overactive bladder, and pelvic organ prolapse, among other conditions. Dr. Oliver has surgical expertise in complex cases including urethral strictures, urethral diverticula, genitourinary fistulae, repeat or failed prior surgery, and surgical management of complications or sequelae from prior pelvic surgeries, including mesh-related complications. She performs minimally invasive vaginal and robotic-assisted surgical techniques. Dr. Oliver is board-certified in both Urology and Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery (FPMRS), also known as Urogynecology and Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery (URPS). In addition to her clinical practice, she is dedicated to medical education, the training of residents and fellows, and clinical outcomes research aimed at advancing the field and improving patient care. Please note that Dr. Oliver is a Urologic Surgeon and while she has expertise and fellowship training in the field called Urogynecology, she is not a gynecologist. She does not provide general gynecologic care. Please contact the clinic if you have questions about your needs.

Personal Interests
Outside of medicine, Dr. Oliver enjoys spending time outdoors, including hiking, mountain biking, skiing, snowboarding, and gardening. She is committed to environmental stewardship and supports sustainability efforts through native plant gardening and other conservation-oriented activities.

Volunteer Activities
Dr. Oliver is dedicated to improving the quality of health care, with a particular focus on pelvic floor and urinary tract disorders. She is passionate about education and advocacy, advancing knowledge and awareness through patient care, medical education, research, and mentorship. In her training, Dr. Oliver has provided surgical care internationally in Haiti and with the nonprofit organization Medicine for Humanity, traveling to Uganda to perform surgeries for women with obstetric fistulae.
