Beyond Dawlish

Navigating health challenges can be daunting, particularly when it involves sensitive issues like overactive bladder (OAB). Whether due to embarrassment, fear, or simply not knowing the right steps to take, many people endure the discomfort of OAB for far too long.
 

Nina Turcotte, EMT, and Meredith Norris, BSN, RN, CURN, are seasoned patient navigators at Urology Partners of North Texas (UPNT) Incontinence Center. With decades of experience in healthcare and a deep commitment to urology, they specialize in transforming the lives of those battling OAB.

Overcoming OAB with Expertise and Compassion

OAB is characterized by involuntary bladder muscle contractions, often resulting in sudden and uncontrollable urges to urinate. This condition affects millions, with a significant number in their 40s and 50s, though it's not limited to older adults. Neurological disorders can also trigger OAB.
 

At UPNT, a range of innovative treatments is available, from lifestyle adjustments and medications to advanced procedures like Botox injections and the InterStim therapy—using pacemaker technology similar to that used in cardiac care—to manage symptoms effectively.

Tailored Care from Urologists Specializing in Incontinence

Each patient at UPNT is paired with a dedicated patient navigator who guides them through every step of their treatment journey. These navigators, like Turcotte and Norris, offer direct lines of communication, bypassing the need for call centers and fostering a personalized care experience.
 

"Our role goes beyond treatment facilitation; we educate and empower our patients about their condition, possible causes, and the spectrum of available treatments," says Norris.

From Initial Consultation to Ongoing Support

The journey with UPNT begins with an in-depth consultation where every aspect of the patient's health and treatment history is considered. This personalized approach ensures that each treatment plan is as effective as possible, tailored to individual needs and circumstances.

Patients are encouraged to maintain open lines of communication with their navigators, reaching out whenever they have questions or concerns about their treatment.

Transforming Lives Beyond Medication

The holistic approach at UPNT means exploring every possible solution, from dietary changes to cutting-edge medical interventions. When Sara, an OAB patient, experienced side effects from her initial medication, her navigator swiftly recommended a newer alternative that better suited her needs, significantly improving her condition without adverse effects.

"Our greatest reward is seeing our patients regain their confidence and freedom from the constraints of OAB," Turcotte shares.
