Biography
Pelvic floor and functional bowel disorders refer to a series of symptoms and anatomic findings that effect men and women of all ages. These may include: constipation, difficult evacuation, fecal incontinence, irritable bowel disorders, diarrhea, pelvic organ prolapse, urinary and sexual dysfunction and pain. Although not life threatening, these disorders can severely affect quality of life and individual performance.
Over the past two decades I have dedicated my career to working with other specialists for comprehensive care for individuals with pelvic floor disorders. In July 2017, I joined The Department of Surgery, Division of Colorectal Surgery at Stanford University as the Medical Director of the Pelvic Health Center. I previously spent the prior decade at Cleveland Clinic running a multidisciplinary clinic and performing over 200 combined procedures in conjunction with colleagues in urology and urogynecology. We developed a robotic surgical approach to woman with vaginal and rectal prolapse and performed many surgeries to repair intestinal and rectal fistula (abnormal communications between the intestine and vagina).
Prior to that I established a Pelvic Floor Center at Maimonides Medical Center received a Jahnigan Career Development Award looking at multicompartment prolapse in elderly women. In addition to performing surgery and teaching throughout my career, I have maintained a commitment to long-term follow up of patients after surgery.
Although my training and focus is around surgical techniques and solutions for anorectal disorders and pelvic health, I believe that prevention, non-surgical alternatives, diet, exercise, and behavior management are vitally important to patient success.
One of my many goals is to educate patients, health care providers, and trainees about pelvic floor disorders.
When I am not at work I enjoy quality time with my three teenagers, dog, friends and I practice yoga.

Thank you for having providers who listen, and are open to meet the needs of their patients.
I chose her for her expertise. I’m pleased that she is also personable and makes an uncomfortable subject easier to talk about.
Dr seemed very thorough and efficient.
Dr Gurland is clearly efficient, personable but yet professional, a great communicator
Extremely grateful for the opportunity to speak one more time before surgery in 2 days and close a communication loop. Dr Gurland answered all my questions and looked in my chart for notes with Dr Kong from Pain Management to coordinate a plan for immediate post-surgery pain control which had gone poorly for me in the past. I feel heard by Dr Gurland and much less anxious going in to the procedure now.
Very grateful to be in her care. I hope to have another opportunity for planning before my procedure to reduce risk of complications I have had after previous procedures in the same place from a different surgeon elsewhere. Time was short today due to last-minute rescheduling and connection interference.
Dr. Gurland is kind, informative, and I appreciate her so much
Brooke Gurland seems like a good doctor.
Absolutely professional, engaging and informative. They made me feel like I finally will have answers .. Thank you Again

I am grateful to have Dr. Gurland.
Much Appreciation. The results are very good!
I have been suffering with digestive issues for many years. Dr Gurland wanted to know my story of symptoms I have been experiencing that began after the birth of my daughter in 2005. She has ordered tests that have not been explored to date. I look forward to working through next steps and a treatment plan.
I felt that everybody that saw me really cared about my well being and health.

I know from past experience the surgeon and her team are excellent.
I really like and trust this doctor. She answered all of questions. Her and her staff are very professional and respectful and responsive.
She had no compassion and I left there with no real answer for this chronic pain I have had for 1 year and eight months and I live a 4hour distance away and this is the second time I have been to Stanford I was referred to another doctor and then referred to this doctor.
Excellent interaction.

Excellent listening skills
I think Dr. Gurland is a wonderful surgeon, which is why I go out of my way to continue as her patient.
professional, knowledgable, answers questions with respect & easy manner
She was very thorough and I appreciated that. With the PA sitting and her standing I was only able to see her from the nose down. That was weird. I didn't want to mess up my video visit so I didn't want to adjust my screen and just kept going.
I did not feel like the doctor validated my concerns and was hesitant to answer my questions or tell me she couldn't answer them.
The video visit was not helpful at all. I was almost in tears as there was no encouragement that I would get the relief I need
very rude and disrespectful
Dr. and staff were great
Excellent and beyond my expectations!!
Dr Gurland and her staff were very kind, attentive and professional.

She is fabulous
I've found pre-op and post-op care at Stanford's Pelvic Health Clinic to be outstanding in all regards, ad would recommend to others!
I was referred to this doctor for pain and constipation from surgery that i continued to have after i had a fibroid tumor removed from my previous surgery .we did alot of diffrent testing to see what the problem could be .I never got the full results of any testing unless i went on the site and looked it up for myself and at my last appointment i asked abot my MRI results because i looked at them online which showed that my tumor had either grown back or their was residual left from my previous surgery . When i asked the doctor about it she said that she couldnt treat me for that was very short in a hurry in and out had me take down my pants while she was right in the room no privacy .GAVE ME SOME CREAM FOR a fissure and said thats what she can treat me for . I was told to come back in two weeks if it didnt heal . Im feeling like nothing got resolved . i live three hours away so it takes me six to seven hours up and back .bottom line the doctor is to rushed each time i see her doesnt explain anything or any of my test .
She’s been great.
She is an excellent surgeon and knows what questions to ask.
Dr. Gurland is extremely professional and answers all of my questions fully. I am fortunate she is my doctor and did my surgery.
Dr Gurland was informative, listened and took the time necessary to fully assess my problems while explaining the process going forward.
She’s very conscientious.
Straight forward, kind, and professional.
Dr. Gurland is wonderful! She explains and genuinely listens and cares about me as her patient. Tracy is amazing. The entire team is caring and makes all the world of difference. Thank you SO SO much
Dr. GURLAND is great at her field and is the only doctor that was able to help me with my hemorrhoids.
Takes my concerns into account, and explains things to me.
Dr. Gurland is great. I appreciate her trying to help me, but at the same time, I feel as lost as ever as I continue to try and seek some kind of resolution to a situation that is really taking a toll on me physically.
Very matter of fact. Asks questions, listens to answers, then decides on a path going forward.
