InterStim therapy is an innovative treatment option for patients with bladder control problems and fecal incontinence. InterStim is FDA-approved and minimally invasive, allowing patients to experience a better quality of life and return to doing the things they love. This therapy targets the connection between the bladder/bowels and the brain. If you have questions about InterStim, please contact your local GI Alliance physician to learn more about this and other treatment options.
Who are the candidates for InterStim therapy?
Candidates for InterStim therapy may suffer from one of the following conditions:
- Overactive bladder
- Urinary incontinence
- Fecal incontinence
Prior to attempting InterStim therapy, your GI Alliance physician may attempt other methods of controlling your condition such as medication or physical therapy. Please speak to your GI Alliance physician about your options for treatment.
How does InterStim therapy work?
After an evaluation and consultation, a thin wire would be placed in your buttock where the nerves that control your bladder are. The wire would be connected to a device you would wear and operate under your clothes. The device would work by gently stimulating the sacral nerves, allowing patients to have fewer visits to the bathroom. If you are interested in learning more about how this therapy and device can help you spend less time in the bathroom or worrying about accidents, speak to your GI Alliance physician.

I was very pleased with the staff and the continued information prior to the procedure.
could not be more satisfied with Dr. Miller and his staff! i have seen him in his office and during hospital stays. he answers all questions, i never feel rushed, and have total confidence in his decisions for my care.
Looking forward to meeting the office staff & Dr. Burgess very friendly professional.
I have been going to Dr Kakati several years now! He is the kindest, caring doctor that I have had the pleasure of visiting! He listens and has concern for your thoughts! I couldn't be more pleased with a doctor, who it seems like you are talking to a friend!
My schedule is a little crazy but they are patient and flexible. I paid my copays, took the cleanse as appropriate and the staff at the location had very good bedside manner. The doctor was friendly and kind as well. They followed up with my results. Thanks.
