Why Patients Travel to Charlotte for Subspecialty Surgery

Advanced Pelvic Surgery and Urogynecology of Charlotte, located at 11210 Golf Links Dr North, #100, Charlotte, NC 28277, regularly coordinates care for patients who have exhausted local options or require surgical complexity beyond what their region offers.

Kevin Stepp, MD, FACOG, URPS is one of fewer than 10 surgeons in the United States who completed dual fellowship training in both Urogynecology and Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery at the Cleveland Clinic. That training enables him to manage cases — recurrent prolapse, mesh complications, concurrent endometriosis and pelvic floor pathology, and anatomically complex reconstructions — that require subspecialty depth not widely available.

The Ballantyne corridor's proximity to I-485 places the practice approximately 7 minutes from Charlotte Douglas International Airport, making it a logistically accessible destination for patients arriving from across the country and internationally.

"We see patients who have seen six surgeons and been told they are not candidates for repair. They are candidates — they needed the right subspecialist." — Kevin Stepp, MD, FACOG, URPS

The Travel Patient Pathway

A structured four-step process from remote consultation to postoperative clearance.

Records Review & Telehealth

Submit operative reports, imaging, and prior pathology for remote chart review. If the case warrants in-person evaluation, a telehealth consultation follows before patients commit to travel.

Arrival & Formal Evaluation

Patients arrive the day prior to surgery or the morning of the procedure. Dr. Stepp meets with each patient in person for a formal pre-operative evaluation to review findings and finalize the surgical plan.

Surgery & Departure

Most patients are cleared to travel — by car or commercial flight — within 24 hours of surgery. Remote follow-up protocols and direct physician access are provided prior to departure.

The Practice Location

The facility is situated in the Ballantyne/Waverly corridor of south Charlotte — a suburban medical district with direct access to I-485 and a dense concentration of recovery-appropriate accommodations within a 3-mile radius.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from patients coordinating care from outside the Charlotte area.

The process begins with a remote records review, not an in-person visit. Patients submit operative reports, imaging, prior pathology, and any relevant consultation notes. Dr. Stepp reviews the records and — if the case warrants an in-person evaluation — schedules a telehealth consultation before patients commit to travel.

Patients arrive in Charlotte the day prior to surgery or the morning of their procedure. Dr. Stepp meets with each patient for a formal pre-operative evaluation to review findings and finalize the surgical plan before proceeding.

Kevin Stepp, MD, FACOG, URPS completed dual fellowship training in Urogynecology (URPS) and Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery (MIGS) at the Cleveland Clinic — a credential held by fewer than 10 surgeons in the United States. This subspecialty combination is not replicated in most regional markets.

Patients who seek care here typically have complex case histories: recurrent pelvic organ prolapse, prior mesh complications, concurrent endometriosis and pelvic floor pathology, or prior surgical failures with anatomical distortion. These cases require the specific dual-fellowship training Dr. Stepp holds.

For patients requiring a 5–10 day recovery stay, the Hyatt House Charlotte/Rea Farms (0.4 miles from the practice) is the closest option with full kitchenette suites — important for medication storage, dietary management, and reduced transportation burden. The Courtyard by Marriott Charlotte Waverly (0.8 miles) provides access to grocery options at Whole Foods Market.

Patients who require a higher level of privacy and full service should consider The Ballantyne, a Luxury Collection Hotel (2.9 miles). All accommodations can be accessed via rideshare from Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT).
