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.

      Yes, most definitely I would recommend every woman who needs to have a hysterectomy done to go to Dr. Abigail Shatkin-Margolis. She is an incredible doctor. With all the scare tactics that I got from other women. I was nervous. I was well taken care of. When I came out of surgery my pain 1-10, pain level was three. The next day my pain level was 1 to 0 AMAZING. Thank you, Abigal Shatkin-Margolis team, I love you guys forever.

      Honestly, the best doctor I've ever seen. Listened and validated. Clearly explain what was happening during the exam and why she was doing it. Ruled out options that it couldn't be. Listed out, clearly, what had and had not been working. Very trauma-informed. Very concise while still being thorough. Gave me answers and solutions that other doctors have missed for the last 3 years. I couldn't have asked for a better provider. Thank you!!!

      Once I actually saw the doctor it was all quite good. Only minor comment is I need to sift through emails to find my specific next steps for followup items. It's easier when it's all on a single sheet (as some docs provide). Super minor, though.
