Axonics®

50 million Americans suffer with some form of overactive bladder (OAB) or urinary incontinence (bladder leakage). Seventy-five percent to 80% of them are women. Unfortunately, many women believe this is just part of “getting older.” It’s not.

Axonics® Therapy is a clinically proven solution for treating symptoms of OAB, including urge incontinence, fecal incontinence and urinary retention.

How Does Axonics® Therapy Work?

Axonics Therapy provides gentle stimulation to the nerves that control the bladder and bowel, which can restore normal control and result in symptom improvement.

  1. The Evaluation Step: To see if Axonics® Therapy is right for you, you will undergo a short period of therapy using a temporary system. The evaluation period allows you to experience the level of symptom relief the therapy may provide before you commit to long-term therapy.
  2. Long-term Therapy: If you and your doctor determine that Axonics® Therapy is right for you, you will have an outpatient procedure where the miniaturized Axonics® implant is placed just beneath the skin in the upper part of your buttock.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Axonics® Therapy?

It is up to you and Dr. Pazona to determine if you are a good candidate for Axonics® Therapy. Axonics® Therapy is an approved treatment for patients suffering with:

  • Overactive bladder (OAB) – the urgent need to urinate, which may result in frequent urinary and/or incontinence (leakage) episodes
  • Urinary urgency frequency – the need to urinate 8 or more times a day
  • Urinary urgency incontinence (UUI) – the urgent need to urinate or trouble holding urine before making it to the restroom
  • Fecal (bowel) incontinence – sudden urges to pass stool and experience leakage of stool before making it to the restroom
  • Non-obstructive urinary retention (UR) – the inability to empty the bladder, which results in symptoms of frequent urination or trouble urinating
  • Axonics® Therapy is indicated for patients who have failed conservative treatments, such as lifestyle changes, physical therapy, or medications.

From the check in at front desk to finishing up the outpatient procedure, I experienced friendliness, smiles, patient engagement, professionalism, comfort and top notch expertise from Dr. Pazona himself. I’d highly recommend this practice if the “patient experience” is tops on your list!

Dr Pazona and his staff were great. They made sure to put me at ease and I was able to play my own music during the procedure. Dr Pazona was very quick but it didn’t feel rushed. He was very friendly and easy to talk to. He helped me stay relaxed and in a good mood the entire time.

Doctor Pazona was very professional, very friendly and was one of the most excellent, skilled and impressive doctors I’ve met. His staff was also very friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend the laughing gas as well. If you need a vasectomy I can’t imagine a better place in all honesty. Thanks Doc!

Absolutely incredible doctor. Doesn’t rush, and listens to your concerns and questions, a rarity in the modern medicine world. You could tell that he cared about his work and his patients. I had been very frustrated just trying to get seen due to lengthy wait times for appointments at other offices, then I found his office, which got me right in.

My first experience with Dr. Pazona was fantastic! His entire office staff was incredibly efficient and unlike most offices I did not have to wait for hours. The staff was engaging and friendly and right away Dr.Pazona came in to begin my appointment. I was treated as though he had all the time in the world. He truly wanted to hear my concerns and made sure that I understood all of my treatment options before I left his office. I give him the highest recommendation! So refreshing to know that there are doctors like him out there!
