Dr. Wallace was thorough and gentle in her exam of my pelvic floor prolapse. She prescribed medication to assist me with issues related to the condition and to prepare my body for surgery. When I expressed concerns abput my medical history that might impact the surgery Dr. Wallace made referrals for three other departments to evaluate my status prior to scheduling surgery.
