About me

Dr. Abigail Shatkin-Margolis cares for patients with female pelvic floor disorders. She specializes in diagnosing and treating pelvic organ prolapse (when an organ such as the bladder drops into the vagina), urinary and fecal incontinence, genitourinary and rectovaginal fistulas (abnormal connections between various pelvic organs), overactive bladder and bladder pain syndrome. In research, Shatkin-Margolis is interested in improving treatment and surgical outcomes for patients with these conditions, as well as investigating disparities in care.

Shatkin-Margolis received her medical degree from Tufts University School of Medicine. She completed a residency in obstetrics and gynecology at Kaiser Permanente and a fellowship in female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery at TriHealth's Good Samaritan Hospital.

      She was excellent! Very nice, listened to my experience and provided a lot of information regarding what could be causing my issue. We discussed options and I was in control of choosing a plan that she agreed upon and support me with. It really one of the best medical experiences I've ever had.

      Both providers were concerned about my well being, and sought to alleviate my anxiety without minimizing my concerns.

      I give Dr. M the highest marks. What an incredible physician. Knowledgeable, current with latest studies, able to communicate effectively and in a friendly manner, and has excellent technical skills. I so appreciated how Dr. M every step of the procedure would tell me what what happening and always checked in to see how I was doing.
