Overactive Bladder Treatment in Mesa, AZ

Mesa, Arizona residents dealing with overactive bladder (OAB) now have access to world-class specialist care close to home. Bladder Centers of America, led by double board-certified urologist Dr. Tory McJunkin, provides advanced, long-lasting treatment for men and women throughout Mesa, East Mesa, Red Mountain, and the surrounding East Valley communities.

Specialized OAB Care for Mesa Patients

Our Scottsdale clinic is easily accessible from Mesa — just 20–25 minutes west via the US-60 (Superstition Freeway) or north on Country Club Drive to Scottsdale Road. Whether you live near downtown Mesa, Eastmark, Dobson Ranch, or Las Sendas, getting expert bladder care has never been more convenient.

At Bladder Centers of America, we focus exclusively on bladder health. Dr. McJunkin has helped hundreds of Mesa-area patients find lasting relief from the urgency, frequency, nighttime trips to the bathroom, and accidental leakage that make overactive bladder so disruptive to daily life.

Understanding Overactive Bladder

Overactive bladder is far more than just “going to the bathroom a lot.” It’s a medical condition caused by misfiring signals between your brain, spinal cord, and bladder nerves — and it can significantly impact your quality of life. Common OAB symptoms include:

  • Urgency: A sudden, overwhelming need to urinate that’s difficult to defer
  • Frequency: Urinating 8 or more times per day
  • Nocturia: Waking 2 or more times per night to urinate
  • Urge incontinence: Leaking urine before reaching the restroom

OAB affects over 33 million Americans — many of them active adults in Mesa who want to keep hiking the Usery Mountain trails, attending events at the Mesa Arts Center, or simply enjoying life without the constant anxiety of finding the nearest restroom.

Sacral Neuromodulation: Mesa’s Most Effective OAB Solution

If you’ve been managing OAB with medications alone — or suffering without any treatment at all — it’s time to learn about Sacral Neuromodulation (SNM). This FDA-approved therapy is widely considered the gold standard for refractory overactive bladder.

SNM works by delivering gentle, targeted electrical impulses to the sacral nerves that regulate bladder function. These tiny electrical signals essentially “recalibrate” the miscommunicating nerve signals causing your OAB symptoms. The result? Dramatically reduced urgency, fewer bathroom trips, and — for many patients — complete freedom from leakage.

Bladder Centers of America specializes in Axonics Therapy, the newest generation of SNM technology. The Axonics device is:

  • Fully MRI-compatible (full-body 1.5T and 3T)
  • Rechargeable with a battery designed to last 15+ years
  • Delivered via a minimally invasive outpatient procedure
  • Preceded by a trial period so Mesa patients can experience results before committing to a permanent implant

When Medications Haven’t Worked

Many Mesa patients come to us frustrated after cycling through OAB medications — oxybutynin, solifenacin, tolterodine, mirabegron — with limited results or intolerable side effects like dry mouth, constipation, blurred vision, or cognitive fog. If that’s your experience, you’re a strong candidate for Sacral Neuromodulation.

Clinical studies consistently show that SNM therapy produces 2–3 times better outcomes than continued medication use for patients with treatment-resistant OAB. Most patients experience significant improvement within the first week of the trial period.

Medicare & Insurance Coverage — Mesa Patients Are Covered

One of the most common questions we hear from Mesa patients is: “Does insurance cover this?” The answer is: in most cases, yes.

  • Medicare Part B: Sacral Neuromodulation is a covered Medicare benefit when medically necessary. For most Medicare-eligible Mesa patients, this means little to no out-of-pocket cost for the consultation, trial, and implant procedure.
  • Medicare Advantage: Plans offered through Humana, UnitedHealthcare, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and Aetna typically cover SNM with prior authorization.
  • Commercial Insurance: Most major commercial carriers cover Axonics SNM and related OAB evaluations.
  • Pre-Authorization Support: Our insurance team manages all paperwork and prior authorization processes — you focus on healing, we handle the bureaucracy.

We verify every patient’s coverage before their first appointment and provide complete transparency about any expected out-of-pocket costs. No surprises. No billing ambiguity.

Your Mesa OAB Treatment Journey

Getting started is simple. Here’s what to expect from your first visit at Bladder Centers of America:

  2. Diagnostic Evaluation: We may perform urodynamic studies to precisely characterize your bladder function.
  3. Personalized Treatment Plan: Dr. McJunkin will present all appropriate treatment options and his recommendation, including whether you’re a candidate for an SNM trial.
  4. SNM Trial (if appropriate): A brief outpatient procedure to test the therapy in your body before the permanent implant.
  5. Permanent Implant: If your trial is successful (typically defined as 50%+ improvement in symptoms), we proceed with the permanent Axonics device — often covered entirely by insurance.
