Shaina Tsang Kulbersh, MSN NP| Obstetrics And Gynecology | MedStar Health
About me
Shaina Kulbersh, NP, is a board-certified women’s health nurse practitioner specializing in urogynecology and minimally invasive gynecologic surgery (MIGS) at the National Center for Advanced Pelvic Surgery (NCAPS). She evaluates and manages pelvic floor disorders including overactive bladder, urinary and fecal incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, recurrent urinary tract infections, and genitourinary syndrome of menopause. She works in collaboration with MIGS physicians supporting surgical and non-surgical management of chronic pelvic pain, endometriosis, fibroids, and abnormal uterine bleeding.
Shaina is a member of the American Urogynecologic Society. She received her Master of Science in Nursing from Boston College in 2019. Prior to that, she worked as a maternal newborn nurse. She received her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Boston College in 2014.
Philosophy of care:
"Gynecologic and pelvic floor disorders can be distressing and negatively impact quality of life. I strive to provide a safe space to discuss bothersome symptoms and validate women’s experiences. It is my practice to actively listen to patients’ primary concerns and provide education on evidence[1]based behavioral interventions, medical therapies, and surgeries. Thorough counseling empowers patients to make informed, shared decisions with the provider. Working with women to improve their quality of life is a privilege."
