About Me

Following a typical midwest upbringing and graduating from the University of Kansas, I hopped over the state line to earn a master of science in bioinformatics with an emphasis in qualitative clinical research at the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Medicine. After establishing relationships with so many patients through my research, I felt compelled to pursue a career in medicine. I stayed on campus and proceeded to graduate from the physician assistant program.

After five years of practicing at an academic hospital, I was ready to transition to a community setting and found a new home in partnering with Dr. Ian Rosbrugh, specializing in pelvic health and treating patients in the clinic and the operating room.

During my off hours you can find me spending time with my husband and two daughters, making attempts at the culinary arts, and enjoying film, literature and outdoor activities. I am a lover of Latin culture and jump at any opportunity to practice speaking Spanish.

Care Philosophy

With each patient, my goal is to develop a comprehensive and customized care plan. I empower patients to engage in shared decision-making that honors their preferences, values, cultural beliefs and socioeconomic conditions. My favorite aspect of patient care is education, and I am always happy to spend time teaching women about their bodies and how to optimize their well-being.

I was put on Yaz for perimenopause symptoms. I was nervous because of I have high cholesterol and high blood pressure. I was told it was up to me to decide if the benefits would outweigh the risks. I thought surely it wouldn't be prescribed unless it was safe for me to take. I reached out about perimenopause insomnia and was told unless I'm waking up with night sweats every time that it isn't from perimenopause and to exercise. I contacted my gp to see if they could prescribe the Yaz because I didn't want to go back. I got the response that they wouldn't prescribe it because of me having high cholesterol and blood pressure. Strokes run in my family. So I'm back to square one.

04/30/2025

I have not met a practioner with more kindness, empathy, and genuine concern for my health than Stephanie Volker. My situation is complicated, but she took the time to hear me and help me piece together information from multiple doctors to understand what my next steps should be in seeking treatment.

First time seeing Stephanie. I normally see Dr Rosbrugh who is amazing. I think Stephanie did a great job. Offered an apology upon entering the room for running behind which I appreciated. Very personable. Recommended transvaginal ultrasound - the only down side here is the facility does not do this in the office. I use to go to Northland OBGYN in Liberty and they have this capability in the office. I really urge the practice to obtain this as I’m sure numerous patients would appreciate it.

08/22/2023

I have seen this provider for pre-operative testing, and also post op check up. My 2 visits with Stephanie have been wonderful. She is a caring, compassionate and trustworthy provider. Stephanie puts you at ease immediately and answers every question you have. She covers all bases when going over your medical record. Stephanie does not rush you out the door during your appointment either, but makes sure that you understand everything about the doctor directives on how to maintain your healing process. I would highly recommend this provider for any health care needs you may have
