Craig McCoy, D.O., is a native of Central Missouri, born and raised in Slater, Missouri. He is board certified in obstetrics and gynecology, and has been in practice since 1996. Dr. McCoy provides the full spectrum of obstetrics and gynecologic care.
Dr. McCoy is a skilled pelvic surgeon, and has achieved status as a physician proctor for robotic surgical systems. This title indicates he is highly experienced and qualified to teach other physicians how to utilize this innovative technology for gynecologic procedures, such as minimally invasive hysterectomy.
In addition to OB/GYN, Dr. McCoy is board certified in female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery. As such, he is knowledgeable in both surgical and nonsurgical management of female bladder control problems and pelvic support issues (pelvic prolapse). He serves as a consultant and enjoys training other physicians across the country on minimally invasive treatments for incontinence and pelvic prolapse.
Dr. McCoy is actively involved in the advancement of women's health through research, and has participated in randomized controlled studies of incontinence treatments.
Dr. McCoy specializes in the treatment of female bladder and bowel control problems. When you consider women of all ages, 1 in 6 have overactive bladder. Not only is it common, but it becomes more common as you age. By the age of 65, 1 in 3 women are suffering from overactive bladder. In fact, more people have overactive bladder than have asthma or diabetes! InterStim® works by delivering a small electrical impulse that blocks out those inappropriate nerve signals, letting your bladder communicate with your brain without that interference, therefore restoring normal communication. And it’s thought to work in this same way for bowel control.
