About Me
As a urologic reconstructive surgeon here at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, I specialize in performing procedures on the urinary system and reproductive organs. I offer a wide range of reconstruction procedures for both women and men, including patients who have complications from prior surgeries, have undergone cancer radiation treatment, or have experienced obstetric issues.
My expertise includes surgical options to treat ureteral injuries and help patients manage conditions including urethral stricture and urinary incontinence. In addition, I have extensive training in urogynecology and offer a full spectrum of treatment options for pelvic organ prolapse.
My role also includes specialization in neuro-urology. I am passionate about helping patients whose bladder dysfunction is linked to a neurologic diagnosis such as Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis and spinal cord injuries. I offer medical and surgical options to treat neurogenic bladder, ranging from office-based procedures like botulinum toxin injections, to abdominal reconstruction with bladder augmentation and catheterizable channel creation.

The confidence I have with my health care provider is difficult to explain. I have been a patient at OSU since 2019. This is my FIRST experience where I felt my provider not only listened but gave suggestions on how to improve my quality of life. Being a cancer patient is hard. Being diagnosed with 8 different cancers is mentally exhausting. Palliative care wants to treat me like I'm chapter six' in their narcotics class. Dr Creseance never made me feel like I was less then. Or that I was being dramatic over my pain level. I could not possibly be more honored that she chose to take on my cancer diagnosis and has made it her mission to get me a quality of life worth living.
Great job, procedure went better then we thought, was healing, didn't have to dilate. Explained everything and made me very comfortable

All my experiences have been good.
Dr. Crescenze was excellent. This was a new patient appointment. Dr. Crescenze spent nearly an hour talking with me and listening to my concerns and discussing future possible treatment plans. She's great at listening and asking insightful follow-up questions and she is clearly proficient and up-to-date in her field. She did a thorough exam that identified some issues previously not identified by other doctors. After my appointment with Dr. Crescenze, I feel much more confident (and less stressed) navigating the future of the issues I'm dealing with.
Courteous and considerate.
Throughly explained step by step what was about happen
Absolutely the best Who knows exactly what I need done
She is an outstanding doctor
She was having me bear down as she was checking my stomach and afterwards she mentioned to me I could use a few sit ups. I found that pretty rude honestly. Especially after my extensive surgical historical and weight loss I have gone through in the past few years. It's been rough mentally and she's def not the most compassionate person I've dealt with. Understandable, just disappointing.
I like Dr. Crescenze, she is very good at her job and a nice person in General. She knows about my needs and seems to really care about me.
The physician was absolutely wonderful. She demonstrated caring and empathy. She showed interest in knowing about all of my urinary tract symptoms and their impact on my life. She was interested in knowing details of my past history. She valued my opinions and sought my input regarding treatment plans.
