Contact UsWhat Is Neurogenic Bladder?
Neurogenic bladder is a disorder that occurs when damage in the nervous system hinders your bladder from functioning properly. Muscles and nerves work together to control when the bladder empties so if you have nerve damage, the muscles may not be able to contract or relax at the right time. There are many injuries and illnesses that can lead to neurogenic bladder, including spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, stroke, and spina bifida. Dr. Shenelle Wilson can effectively diagnose and treat neurogenic bladder at Metro Atlanta Urology and Pelvic Health Center. If you have frequent urination, urine leaks, or trouble emptying out your bladder, contact our Kennesaw, GA office to determine if you have a neurogenic bladder.

I am thrilled about my new partnership with Dr. Wilson—she is truly an answer to prayer. I had concerns about a previous procedure, and during my visit with her, she provided exactly the clarity and care I needed. The appointment was incredibly candid, and unlike many doctor visits, it didn’t feel uncomfortable or rushed. Dr. Wilson took ample time to thoroughly answer all my questions and ensured I felt valued, never treating the visit as purely transactional because of my insurance. She also outlined a detailed roadmap for the future, giving me confidence and direction. Her bedside manner is as exceptional as her expertise, which was evident from the very beginning. Dr. Wilson wasted no time addressing my case and quickly set the wheels in motion on pending matters. I’m genuinely grateful to have connected with Dr. Wilson and her amazing staff. If you’re considering a new urologist, I highly recommend scheduling a visit with her—you’ll immediately notice the difference compared to others.
I had my first visit and I am extremely happy with the service I was provided. She educated me and we have a plan of action in place. Everyone was so nice, from the front desk to the doctor. It ended up being an enjoyable experience.
