Dr. John R. Miklos
Biographical Information
Dr. John R. Miklos is an internationally recognized expert in Laparoscopic, Urogynecologic, and Aesthetics Reconstructive Vaginal Surgery. He is the first fellowship-trained Urogynecologist/Laparoscopic surgeon to receive subspecialty training in Aesthetic Vaginal Reconstructive Surgery, and is one of the first board certified Urogynecologists. This unique melding of multiple fellowships and training has made Dr. Miklos one of the most sought after surgeons in the world for laparoscopic (mini-incision) reconstructive vaginal surgery as well as cosmetic vaginal surgery.
Dr. Miklos is the recipient of many nationally and internationally recognized awards including:
- Castle Connolly ‘Top Doctor Award’ – 12 consecutive years
- America’s ‘Best Doctors Award’ – 10 consecutive years
- Consumer Research Council of America ‘America’s Top Obstetrician Gynecologist Award’ – 6 consecutive years
- American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopy – Kurt Semm Award- 2008
- American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopy – ‘Jerome Hoffman Award’
- American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopy- ‘Golden Laparoscope Award – 2001 and 2014.’
Dr. Miklos is a graduate of Medical University of South Carolina where he received his Master of Science Degree in 1985, followed by his Medical Degree in 1989. He then completed his traditional four-year residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Hahnemann University Hospital in Philadelphia, PA, in 1993. He then completed a two-year fellowship in Urogynecology and Reconstructive Vaginal Surgery in Cincinnati, Ohio. In 1995, after the completion of his fellowship, he came to Atlanta, Georgia, where he was named the Director of Urogynecology and Reconstructive Vaginal Surgery at Atlanta Medical Center. Despite being named an authority in his field that year, Dr. Miklos chose to further develop his understanding of minimally invasive surgery and female pelvic anatomy.
In 1996, Dr. Miklos left Atlanta Medical Center and studied under internationally-renowned laparoscopic surgeon, William B. Saye, MD, (retired), and world-renowned pelvic anatomist/surgeon, A. Cullen Richardson, MD, (deceased). Dr. Miklos spent 2 years with this all-star team taking his training to an unprecedented new level among his peers. Dr. Miklos is the first Gynecologist to train in both of these two Fellowships: Urogynecology and Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery (2 years) and Laparoscopic Reconstructive Surgery (2 years). In 1997, Dr. Miklos founded the Atlanta Urogynecology Associates, which is now Miklos and Moore Urogynecology.
Dr. Miklos continues to pursue excellence in his field by searching worldwide for new, innovative and/or unique surgical and nonsurgical techniques. This commitment to research and development makes Miklos & Moore Urogynecology one of the busiest centers for teaching, research, and surgery in the country.
Dr. Miklos has led the way in performing many laparoscopic vaginal procedures, and was one of the first surgeons in the country to perform procedures including:
- Sacrocolpopexy
- Paravaginal Repair
- Burch Urethropexy
- Enterocele Repair
- Vesicovaginal Fistula Repair
- Sciatic Hernia Repairs
He was also one of the first surgeons to do the TVT Sling (1998), TOT Sling (2002), and Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation (2003). Many of these surgeries are now the “Gold Standard” in vaginal reconstruction today.
The pursuit of a better quality of life for his patients has also lead him to investigate, research, study, and then employ surgical techniques for a much desired and requested line of therapy known as Aesthetic (Cosmetic) Vaginal Surgery, or Vaginal Rejuvenation. In fact, Dr. Miklos was the first Urogynecologist in the country to train with Dr. David Matlock (2002) in the discipline of Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation. This surgical training has allowed Dr. Miklos and Dr. Moore to round out their discipline of vaginal reconstructive surgery and offer all modalities of therapy for patients with various expectations and requests. Because of Dr. Miklos’ research and academic resume he is often asked to teach and write about cosmetic vaginal surgery in order to add legitimacy to the discipline.
Dr. Miklos has more training in various types of reconstructive vaginal surgery than just about anybody in the world. He has written more than 300 scientific papers, abstracts and book chapters. He and Dr. Moore are co-authors of the new book Vaginal Rejuvenation. He performed surgery in operating rooms all over the globe and has taught surgeons from world-renowned institutions such as the Cleveland Clinic, Mayo Clinic, Harvard, and Oxford Universities.

Maxenia Bowers2024-05-13As always one should research and read reviews including any available photos before making a lifetime decision. Dr. Miklos and Moore website credits provided the top deciding factors that lead me to choose their services. Dr. Miklos & Moore are well renowned for their Vaginal rejuvenation success ratings accompanied by very pleasing reviews. Dr. Miklos and his team was what I needed proving to be the best qualified to correct my concerns. They were a life saver both physically as well as mentally. I am wonderfully grateful looking forward to a highly exciting and fullfilling life. I highly recommend and encourage using their services for any woman, who can use options to improve vaginal health and intimacy. Remember as a woman we're worth the investment. Sincerely grateful, M'BabeKristin Robson2024-04-24I had a total abdominal hysterectomy 5 years ago that resulted in me developing a vesicovaginal fistula, a debilitating, embarrassing injury I'd never heard of prior to my surgery. Statistically, I was told that 90% of vesicovaginal fistulas are corrected with one repair surgery and the remaining 10% are corrected with a second repair surgery. From April 2019 through December 2020, I had 4 surgeries to repair the fistula at two different hospital systems with three different surgeons. One of those repairs was done at a Mayo Clinic, where I received excellent care but sadly, suffered a recurrence after my surgery. When my fourth repair began to break down, I really began to lose hope that I was ever going to get past this problem. I have said on a number of occasions that I could honestly write a book about my journey. This injury has negatively impacted every aspect of my life: career, social, financial, and most importantly, emotional. There are not adequate words to express how this process has made me feel defeat, humiliation and depression. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy if I had one. I don't know why or how it took me so long to come across Miklos and Moore Urogynecology, but I finally did, on a tearful Google search on New Year's Eve December 2023, hoping to find a new lease on life in the new year. I had a consultation with Dr. Miklos at his Charleston office in January 2024 and felt so confident and reassured by him that I scheduled surgery for February in Atlanta. Our consultation was very thorough, and we watched a video of what the surgery would look like. He explained the differences between his technique and techniques that are often used in vesicovaginal fistula repair surgeries. He answered all of my and my husband's questions. I have never spent so much time with a doctor in a visit in this journey. Today, 4/24/24, I have been leakage free for 31 days. I have not purchased any products for incontinence since my surgery. I have gone out without worry of having an accident. This is the first time in over 5 years of misery that I have experienced this. I am very hopeful that this fifth repair surgery will be my last thanks to the fantastic care I received from Dr. Miklos, the team at Northside Hospital in Atlanta and Danielle, Tara, Heidi and Sarah from Dr. Miklos' office. I have received more phone call check-ins than I can even count at this point from my doctor personally, plus additional communication from the wonderful ladies in his office. Dr. Miklos is a shining example of what we all hope healthcare will look like, but too often doesn't. I would recommend Dr. Miklos and his practice without hesitation to any woman who is struggling in any of the areas that this practice specializes in. For me, it has been worth the time, money and travel. My only regret is that I didn't find Dr. Miklos sooner because I probably could have saved myself (and those who love me) a lot of heartache over the last 5 years. Thank you Dr. Miklos for everything you have done for me and Rob. You have given me hope for the first time in a very long time.Pam Oliphant2024-04-23I recently followed up with Dr. Moore concerning a weak pelvic floor. He recommended VTone treatments. I noticed results with the very first visit. The VTone treatments have greatly improved my weakened pelvic wall. My insurance did not pay for these treatments, so it was an out of pocket expense. I’m so happy that I tried VTone.:) It was well worth the expense. He and his staff have been very kind and, are knowledgeable. Pam O. Woodstock, GAMacy VanDorn2024-04-23I absolutely recommend Dr. Miklos & his team. I was given opportunity I would not have been given otherwise, without their hard work & expertise. From start to finish, the process was seamless. I reached out to the office through their “chat” pop up on the website Feb 15th, 2024 & had my surgery at the ATL location on March 5th, 2024. I got an immediate response from Danielle through the chat. I originally thought it was a scam because it was 8 o’clock at night. LOL it wasn’t. I had also called the office a couple days prior & had never heard anything back. BUT, they are very busy little worker bees… so do not fret, they will get back to you. Danielle, Tara, Emelia, & Heidi are all office ladies that I interacted with throughout the whole process. They’re rockstars. Very responsive, & again, if you don’t hear back fairly quickly, just be patient with them. I’m forever grateful for every team member from billing, front desk, medical staff, to anyone that dealt with my case that I didn’t interact with. They run like a very well oiled machine. From my experience, you will not be disappointed. Dr. Miklos is beyond informative, explains your procedure throughly, very personable— yet you can tell highly respected. Back to my very first point, I quite literally wouldn’t have the opportunities I have now, without Dr. Miklos. His particular expertise is phenomenal. I didn’t have an ounce of anxiety because I knew I was in the hands of the best. I’m so appreciative & thankful for this whole operation, literally and figuratively. I would love to answer questions on a more personal level from a patient perspective, if you need more answers. I’m an MRKH patient. I know when I was navigating all of this, I thought it would be neat & informative to talk to someone who’s experienced it themselves from the patient side. I would LOVE to chat if that’s the case. If I haven’t delivered my recommendation enough already… 20/10!!! Get in contact with them!Sheila Mondie2024-04-22I’m grateful for all the help through a very difficult time in my life.Julissa Galvan2024-03-18Miklos was so respectful and understanding. I am completely healed ane everything looks great. I'm so thankful for finding him when I wasn't sure where to go. I had gone to previous doctors who told me they couldn't help but Miklos was a lifesaver.Katherine Crosland2024-03-14I’m speechless on the level of care I’ve received from this team! The manager Danielle listened to me and aided me in receiving best care I could have ever imagined. The nurses Sarah and Tara made sure every single detail of my health was covered and actually cared! When I need assistance these ladies respond rapidly! Dr. Moore is hands down the best doctor! His care and bed side treatment are impeccable. He is extremely knowledgeable in his field and has tremendously increased my quality of life! I am never treated like another number and the only thing on their agenda is my care! It is truly a blessing to have the ability to be cared for by this team! Ladies, no matter the situation give them a call and they will not lead you in the wrong direction. Thank you so much Danielle, Sarah, Tara, Dr. Moore and the rest of their team!Ankrehah Johnson2024-03-11I highly recommend Dr. Miklos for all your urogynecology needs! They were thorough efficient and amazing! The staff was easy to work with as well! 5 stars highly recommend!chris lingner2024-03-02Very professional, very knowledgeable- with a health of experience. Dr. Moore is an expert in many surgical techniques. The one on one patient education and consultation to review options that were tailed to me and my condition were so refreshing- I had gone to others and had not this level of education and options as many don't have this level of training and experience. Excellent follow through and caring with any issues to be certain they addressed and resolved. As a nurse of >40 years- this is the type of care I was looking for and had not found until here. Thank you- Dr. Moore- Sara and staff!
