Akira Gillingham, MD

My interest in surgery began at a young age when I would shadow my grandfather, a general surgeon, at work. I was deeply inspired by him and the impact he had on his patients’ lives and decided to follow in his footsteps.

After medical school, I completed my residency in OBGYN at Abington Hospital. I was drawn to the field of Urogynecology because of the innovative treatments and surgical procedures used to treat pelvic floor disorders, and also because I could really listen to my patients and work with them to develop a personalized treatment plan. After residency I moved to Chicago and completed my fellowship at Northwestern University, where I trained in the latest minimally invasive surgical techniques including robotic surgery.

I am excited to return to Pennsylvania to work alongside my mentors from residency. I am joined by my wife Arianna and our three-legged rescue cat Nemo (don’t worry it doesn’t stop her from running around and climbing up the furniture)! When I am not at work, I enjoy traveling, cycling, playing violin, and discovering new restaurants.
