I truly loved meeting Kristie Volmink. She has a cheerful attitude that makes the patient feel at ease. She listened to my concerns, clearly explained what the problem is, and showed sensibility and humour during the visit. I think it's important these days and times to match competence with good humour. Thank you, Kristie!
Dr. Kristie Volmink is an outstanding practitioner. She's one of the best I've ever seen in my life. Kristie was warm and professional, knowledgeable, and clear in conversation and explanations. She started with asking what brought me to the vosor and what I wanted to accomplish. I felt heard and understood, and from there she provided education, asked questions, and listened deeply to my responses. She crafted options for the visit and following treatment, engaging me in co-developing a plan to help achieve my objectives. Kristie is highly skilled technically and socially. I am delighted and relived to have her as a teammate in health.
Kristie listens carefully and explains responses thoroughly.
Dr. Kristie Volmink provides excellent, informed, compassionate medical care. Before coming to UW Pelvic Health, I had seen a pelvic floor therapist in Canada, but she did not provide me with the care and knowledge I needed to curb my incontinence after a radical prostatectomy. In contrast, Dr. Volmink's expertise was superior, and for the first time since my prostatectomy, I have a deeper understanding on how to improve my technique for controlling urine flow. In addition, I have a deeper understanding of how to strengthen my pelvic floor muscles. The biofeedback session was the real eye opener for me. For the first time in 15 months, I am hopeful that I can make my incontinence manageable.
