LOUISVILLE, Ky. – UofL Health – UofL Physicians is pleased to announce that UofL Physicians – Urogynecology at the Springs Medical Center has been designated an Axonics Center of Excellence by Axonics Inc. The designation recognizes two providers, Sean Francis, M.D., and Stacy Lenger, M.D., and their sincere commitment to changing the lives of patients suffering from bladder and bowel dysfunction.
“This recognition is a testament to our dedication to providing the most advanced, effective treatments for patients with overactive bladder and bowel conditions,” said Dr. Francis. “Sacral neuromodulation offers life-changing relief for those who may have struggled with these conditions for years, and we are proud to offer this innovative care at UofL Health.”
Millions of Americans suffer from overactive bladder and fecal incontinence. Axonics Therapy gently stimulates the sacral nerve (sacral neuromodulation), restoring normal communication between the brain and bladder. Sacral neuromodulation has been clinically proven to provide rapid and long-lasting relief of symptoms associated with bladder and bowel dysfunction.

“Being designated an Axonics Center of Excellence reflects our commitment to improving patients’ quality of life,” said Dr. Lenger. “We continue to deliver cutting-edge treatments while keeping compassionate patient-centered care at the forefront.”
The Axonics Center of Excellence program recognizes highly trained and experienced physicians (typically urologists, urogynecologists and colorectal surgeons) and provider practices committed to patient education and providing exemplary care to achieve optimal clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction.
