Urogynecology & Female Pelvic Medicine
Lee A. Richter, MD
MedStar Health Urogynecology at Rockville
Dr. Lee A. Richter is a board-certified female urologist with the MedStar National Center for Advanced Pelvic Surgery and an Associate Professor of both Urology and Obstetrics and Gynecology at Georgetown University School of Medicine.
Training and credentials
Dr. Richter received her medical degree from the University of Connecticut School of Medicine and completed general surgery and urology residency training at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital, followed by a two-year subspecialty fellowship in female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery at the National Center for Advanced Pelvic Surgery. She is a member of the Society of Urodynamics, Female Pelvic Medicine & Urogenital Reconstruction, the American Urogynecologic Society, and the American Urological Association.
Why patients choose Dr. Richter
Her dual background is unusual: most urologists do not complete an OB/GYN-based urogynecology fellowship. For women whose symptoms sit at the border of urology and gynecology — leakage plus prolapse, urgency plus pelvic pain — it means one evaluation instead of two referrals.
Clinical focus
Stress and urge urinary incontinence, overactive bladder including Botox and sacral neuromodulation, pelvic organ prolapse, urethral diverticulum, and complex reconstructive procedures.
