Conditions We Treat
Pelvic conditions rarely arrive one at a time. Urogynecologic, colorectal, and pelvic floor symptoms often share root causes — and treating them in isolation leads to half-results. Our practice is built around treating them together.
Urogynecologic
Leaking when you cough, sneeze, exercise, or feel a sudden urge. Stress, urge, and mixed types each have different treatment paths — most non-surgical.
Urogynecologic
A feeling of pressure, heaviness, or that something is “falling.” Prolapse is graded by severity — and at every grade, there are options that don't require surgery first.
Anorectal
No sedation. No bowel prep. No driver needed. Office-based, non-surgical treatment for hemorrhoids and most common anorectal conditions — and a physician who actually wants to talk about it.
Pelvic Floor
Among the most under-discussed conditions in medicine — and one of the most responsive to specialized care. The vast majority of patients improve significantly with the right plan.
The PHII Difference
Four principles shape every appointment, every diagnosis, every treatment plan. They are not slogans — they are how this practice was built.
Most pelvic conditions respond well to behavioral, physical, and minimally invasive treatments. Surgery is a tool we use precisely — never the default opening offer.
Bladder, bowel, and pelvic floor concerns rarely live in isolation. We diagnose across the full system so the plan addresses the cause — not just the loudest symptom.
You see Dr. Johnson. Not a rotating panel. The same physician evaluates, plans, performs, and follows up — because continuity is what makes precision possible.
You will leave every visit knowing what was found, what your options are, and what each one would mean for your life. No jargon walls. No guesswork.
Meet Your Physician
Founder & CEO · Pelvic Health Institute of Illinois
Dr. Lisa L. Johnson founded Pelvic Health Institute of Illinois on a simple frustration: patients with pelvic floor disorders were waiting an average of six to seven years before getting in front of a physician who actually specialized in their condition. By then, most had been told their symptoms were a normal part of aging, childbirth, or stress.
They were not. And she built this practice to prove it.
With board certification in obstetrics and gynecology and fellowship training in Urogynecology and Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery — a subspecialty that requires an additional three years of training beyond OB/GYN residency, dedicated entirely to pelvic floor anatomy, urinary and bowel function, and the surgical and non-surgical care of these conditions — Dr. Johnson has spent her career on a single category of problem: the pelvic floor. She personally evaluates, plans, and performs every procedure at the Institute.
A Patient Story
I waited eleven years to bring it up to a doctor. I was treated, in plain language, at my first visit. By month three I had stopped planning my life around it.

Honestly Asked, Honestly Answered
Answers from Dr. Johnson directly — the way she would explain them in the exam room.
For most pelvic conditions, no. Behavioral therapy, physical therapy, pessary devices, in-office procedures, and minimally invasive treatments resolve the majority of cases I see in our Oak Lawn, Oak Brook, and Orland Park offices. Surgery is one tool — and when it is the right tool, I will explain exactly why, what the alternative paths would look like, and what to expect afterward. You will never be rushed into a decision.

That is the most common — and the most consequential — misinformation in pelvic medicine. These conditions are common, yes. They are not a normal or untreatable consequence of aging or childbirth. Most respond extremely well to specialized care, often without surgery. If you have been told otherwise by a non-specialist, a second opinion from a fellowship-trained urogynecologist is worth the visit.

We accept most major commercial plans, Medicare, and many Medicare Advantage plans. Pelvic floor disorders are medical conditions — not cosmetic — and are typically covered. Our team verifies coverage before your first visit and provides a clear estimate of any out-of-pocket cost before any procedure. The insurance page has the current accepted-plan list.

No sedation. No bowel prep. No driver needed. Most treatments are completed in a standard office visit and patients return to work the same day. The treatment itself is brief — and the conversation around it is unhurried, private, and entirely without judgment. The anorectal care page walks through it in detail, and the anorectal FAQ answers every question patients tell me they were afraid to ask.
— Lisa L. Johnson, M.D., F.A.C.O.G., U.R.P.S.
Most new patients are seen within five business days of requesting a consultation. Urgent cases — significant bleeding, acute pain, post-surgical concerns — are triaged the same day they come in. All three offices share the same scheduling line, the same physician, and the same standard of care, so we can route you to whichever location works best for your week.

That is the most common state. Most of my patients researched for months — sometimes years — before reaching out. You are welcome to browse the condition library, read about how I approach care, or send a question to our intake team without committing to a visit. When you are ready, we will be here.

The right conversation with the right physician changes everything. We'll start with listening.
