Overactive Bladder Treatment in Gilbert, AZ | Bladder Centers of America

Overactive Bladder Treatment in Gilbert, AZ

Gilbert, Arizona has transformed from a small farming town into one of the fastest-growing communities in the United States — and for good reason. Gilbert families value quality of life, outdoor activities, and access to excellent healthcare. If overactive bladder (OAB) is preventing you or a loved one from fully enjoying life in Gilbert, Bladder Centers of America has the specialized care you need.

Led by double board-certified urologist Dr. Tory McJunkin, our Scottsdale clinic is the East Valley’s premier destination for advanced OAB treatment, including the latest Sacral Neuromodulation (SNM) therapy. From Gilbert, our clinic is easily accessible in 25–35 minutes via the San Tan Freeway (Loop 202) and Loop 101.

Gilbert’s Growing Need for OAB Specialist Care

Overactive bladder is one of the most common urological conditions affecting adults, yet it remains deeply underdiagnosed and undertreated. Many Gilbert residents attribute their symptoms to normal aging, or feel too embarrassed to seek help. Others have tried medications that didn’t work — or caused side effects worse than the condition itself.

The hallmark symptoms of OAB include:

  • Urgency: Sudden, intense urge to urinate with little ability to defer
  • Frequency: Urinating 8 or more times in a 24-hour period
  • Nocturia: Getting up 2 or more times per night to urinate
  • Urge incontinence: Leaking urine before reaching a restroom

For Gilbert families active in their community — attending events at Freestone District Park, hiking the San Tan Mountains, or visiting the Heritage District — OAB can rob you of the spontaneity that makes living in Gilbert so great. It doesn’t have to.

The Gold Standard: Sacral Neuromodulation for Gilbert Patients

Bladder Centers of America specializes in Sacral Neuromodulation (SNM) — an FDA-approved device therapy that is widely considered the most effective long-term treatment for overactive bladder, especially for patients who have not found adequate relief from medication.

SNM works by delivering gentle electrical impulses to the sacral nerves — the nerves that control bladder function. These precise signals correct the miscommunication between the brain and bladder that is responsible for OAB symptoms, providing durable, long-lasting relief.

We use the latest Axonics Therapy system, which offers:

  • MRI compatibility — full-body 1.5T and 3T scans are safe with the device in place
  • Rechargeable battery — designed to last 15+ years, eliminating the need for early replacement surgeries
  • Minimally invasive — outpatient procedure with rapid recovery
  • Proven trial period — experience the therapy in your own body before committing to the permanent implant

Why Gilbert Patients Choose Dr. McJunkin

Dr. Tory McJunkin is one of Arizona’s leading experts in Sacral Neuromodulation. Unlike general urologists who perform SNM occasionally, Dr. McJunkin and his team have made bladder health their singular focus. His patients — including many from Gilbert, Queen Creek, and San Tan Valley — consistently report dramatic improvements in quality of life after SNM therapy.

Clinical research shows SNM therapy produces outcomes 2–3 times better than continued medication use for patients with refractory OAB. The Axonics trial period gives Gilbert patients the rare opportunity to experience results before any permanent commitment — essentially a “test drive” for life-changing therapy.

Medicare & Insurance Coverage for Gilbert Residents

A major concern for many Gilbert patients — especially those on Medicare or with high-deductible insurance plans — is whether SNM therapy is affordable. The good news: most Gilbert patients pay very little out-of-pocket for OAB treatment at Bladder Centers of America.

  • Medicare Part B: Sacral Neuromodulation is a covered Medicare benefit when medically indicated. For Gilbert patients on Medicare — including retirees in Trilogy at Power Ranch, Val Vista Lakes, and SaddleBrook communities — this typically means minimal out-of-pocket expense for the full course of treatment, from evaluation through permanent implant.
  • Medicare Advantage Plans: Most Medicare Advantage plans (Humana, UnitedHealthcare, BCBS, Aetna) cover SNM with prior authorization. Our team manages all authorization paperwork.
  • Commercial Insurance: Major commercial carriers — including those offered through Gilbert’s large employer base — cover Axonics SNM therapy and related OAB diagnostics.
  • Insurance Verification: We verify your specific benefits before your appointment and communicate your out-of-pocket responsibility clearly upfront. No surprise bills.

Your Path to OAB Relief: What to Expect

Getting started with treatment at Bladder Centers of America is straightforward:

  1. Initial Consultation: Meet with Dr. McJunkin for a thorough review of your symptoms, medical history, and previous OAB treatments. We’ll discuss how OAB is affecting your Gilbert lifestyle and determine the best treatment path.
  2. Diagnostic Testing (if needed): Urodynamic studies may be recommended to precisely assess bladder function.
  3. SNM Trial: A quick outpatient procedure to place a temporary electrode near the sacral nerve. Most patients begin noticing improvement within the first few days of their trial period.
  4. Permanent Implant: If the trial achieves significant improvement (typically 50% or greater reduction in symptoms), we proceed with the permanent Axonics device — usually fully covered by insurance.
  5. Ongoing Support: Dr. McJunkin’s team provides follow-up care to optimize your device settings and ensure lasting results.
