Katherine Volpe, MD

About Katherine

Dr. Katherine Volpe specializes in disorders of the female pelvic floor. She is a fellowship trained Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery specialist and a board certified gynecologist.

One in three women will have issues with urinary leakage, bowel control or pelvic organ prolapse during their lifetime. Despite how common these issues are, women are often hesitant to discuss them with their physician. Dr. Volpe understands the sensitive, personal nature of these conditions and is honored to guide her patients through their many options from holistic and complementary therapies to minimally invasive surgeries.

A native of Northern California, Dr. Volpe was drawn to the service mission of Gonzaga University in Spokane, WA and stayed in the Northwest to attend medical school at Oregon Health and Science University before making her way back to the sunshine. Her interests include minimally invasive surgery and she is active in health equity research. She serves as the co-chair of the American Urogynecologic Association Health Disparities Special Interest Group. In her free time she enjoys exploring new restaurants with her husband, hiking and gardening.
