Special Guest – Dr. Maria Canter
Dr. Maria Canter is board certified in Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery as well as Obstetrics and Gynecology. She was one of the first surgeons in the country to be boarded with both specialties. Dr. Canter works with each individual patient and customizes treatment plans for their specific needs. She focuses on improving her patients’ quality of life by using minimally-invasive techniques.
Dr. Canter was born in Washington, D.C. and grew up just outside of the city. She attended Georgetown University School of Medicine and completed a residency in Obstetrics & Gynecology at the Georgetown University Medical Center graduating with the Minimally Invasive Endoscopy Award. A three-year fellowship ensued in Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery. While in fellowship, she received awards for Academic Achievement, Clinical Investigation and the prestigious American Urogynecology Society June Allyson Award for research in urine proteomics.
Dr. Maria Canter opened Urogynecology Center NoVa in May 2016. However, Dr. Canter has been in practice in Northern Virginia for over 10 years and is proud to say she loves what she does. When asked what attracted her to this field, she replies, “I have the privilege to take care of women. I get to build a rapport with my patients, renew confidence and restore quality of life in women who usually take care of everyone else.”
