Urogynecology & Female Pelvic Medicine
Robert E. Gutman, MD, FACOG
MedStar Health Urogynecology at Rockville
Dr. Robert E. Gutman is a urogynecologist and reconstructive pelvic surgeon with MedStar’s National Center for Advanced Pelvic Surgery, seeing Montgomery County patients at the Rockville office on Edson Lane.
Training and credentials
Dr. Gutman earned his medical degree from Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, completed his obstetrics and gynecology residency at Women and Infants Hospital of Rhode Island (Brown University), and finished a three-year fellowship in urogynecology and reconstructive pelvic surgery at Johns Hopkins. He is board certified in obstetrics and gynecology and in Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery, and since 2017 has served as an oral board examiner for the subspecialty.
Why patients choose Dr. Gutman
He is a high-volume prolapse surgeon whose research output — more than 80 peer-reviewed papers and book chapters — has shaped how the field approaches vaginal mesh, native-tissue repair, and robotic sacrocolpopexy. Patients who have had a previous repair fail, or who were told their anatomy was too complex, are a large part of his referral base.
Clinical focus
Pelvic organ prolapse, urinary and fecal incontinence, overactive bladder, vaginal fistula, mesh complications and revision surgery, and robot-assisted reconstructive pelvic surgery.
