Carrie Wieneke, M.D., Clinical Director Dr. Carrie Wieneke Broghammer is an assistant professor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and director of the Center for Minimally Invasive and Robotic Surgery at the University of Kansas Medical Center.
Dr. Wieneke is proud to offer women in the Kansas City area minimally invasive options to treat gynecological problems such as abnormal menstrual bleeding, fibroids, ovarian cysts, pelvic pain and pelvic organ prolapse. These options, which include hysteroscopy, laparoscopy and robotic-assisted surgery, allow for a shorter hospital stay and faster recovery time.
Born and raised in Iowa, Dr. Wieneke graduated Cum Laude from the University of Notre Dame in 1998. She returned to Iowa for her medical training and graduated from The University of Iowa College of Medicine in 2002. She completed her residency in obstetrics and gynecology at Oakwood Hospital in Dearborn, Michigan in 2006. While in residency she served as chief resident and received many accolades including the 2004 Berlex Best Teaching Award and 2006 American Academy for Gynecologic Laparoscopists Special Excellence in Endoscopic Procedures.
Following residency, Dr. Wieneke practiced general obstetrics and gynecology at Oakwood Hospital and served as assistant residency director and director of medical students. From July 2007 to June 2008, she completed a pelvic surgery fellowship in Seattle, Washington at Virginia Mason Medical Center and Northwest Hospital. During this year, she received additional training in gynecological surgery with an emphasis on minimally invasive techniques including the da Vinci Surgical System.
In the fall of 2008, Dr. Wieneke returned to the Midwest and joined the faculty at the KU Women’s Health Speciality Centers. Patient education is of upmost importance to her. She believes that patients should be knowledgeable of the wide array of treatment options available, both surgical and nonsurgical. She strives to treat all patients with respect and care with a goal of creating a strong physician-patient relationship.
Dr. Wieneke is a Junior Fellow of the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology as well as an Adjunct member of the Central Association of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. She is active in the American College of Surgeons and serves on the Advisory Council for Obstetrics and Gynecology. She is also a member of the American Academy for Gynecologic Laparoscopists and American Medical Association.
Madhuri Reddy, M.D. I am a Board Certified Obstetrician and Gynecologist in the generalist division, who enjoys fully the depth and breadth of our specialty. I was born in India with my family moving to the United States after my high school years. I spent four years at Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio and graduated with a B.S. Degree in 1993, Summa Cum Laude, and went to Medical School at Indiana University in Indianapolis for my M.D. Degree in 1998. My four years of Residency in Ob/Gyn was spent at Hutzel Hospital, Wayne State University, Detroit, Michigan.
I joined the teaching faculty at the University of Kansas Medical Center as an Assistant Clinical Professor. Prior to joining the KU Faculty I spent four years in private practice in the Council Bluff, Iowa area. I am married and we have two daughters. My husband, who is a cardiologist, and I both joined the teaching faculty at the Kansas University Medical Center in 2006.
I love to see patients, young and old, pregnant and not-pregnant, and find it very rewarding to experience life changing events with them. The scope of my practice includes general ob/gyn problems and my special interest lies in pelvic floor dysfunction and incontinence. I especially enjoy laparoscopic surgery and apply that modality to different surgeries in the field of ob/gyn including TLH (total laparoscopic hysterectomy).
I enjoy the teaching aspects of academic medicine i.e. medical students and residents. I work with both in the clinic, surgery and the Labor and Delivery Unit, but, I can honor or discuss any patient’s preference regarding medical students and/or residents involvement in their care. Just this past July, I accepted the position of Assistant Residency Program Director and enjoy working with the curriculum and providing new ideas for the program. I spend time with residents and medical students on a daily basis in teaching rounds, outpatient consults and didactic lectures. I also participate in Research studies along with lecturing at local, regional and national meetings.
I belong to several Professional Societies: ACOG, American Medical Association, Kansas City Gynecological Society and the Kermit E. Krantz Society to name a few. I have been honored with the following awards; Chief Resident, Dept. of Ob/Gyn, 2001—2002; Best Obstetrics Resident of the year, 2001 and 2002; Dean’s List, 1990—1993; Phi Kappa Phi Honor Society, 1991—1993; and the Scarlet & Gray Award of Academic Excellence, 1991-1993 to name a few. I am serving on several committees within the Department and the University.
