Testimonials

My first visit to you resulted in your givning me hope and offering help that may relieve my pain. You said you could not erase my jpain completely, but convinced me that I could reduce my pain to a level that I could live with. I left your office that day still in pain, but knowing that I had an ally who could help me at last.

By my third nerve block I had controllable pain. I no longer needed Vicodin. I could control my pain with ibuprofen. Now I work a full day again. I play the piano for church. I take cello lessons and I work out at the gym! I have a life! I thank the day and way I got referred to you. I thank you, dear doctor for your highly valuable assistance in giving me a new life and ability to face life again. Thank you for taking most of my pain away and giving me coping skills to deal with the residual pain I still have!

I suffered for nine months with severe chronic pelvic pain.

I was given no identifiable cause and I had been treated with hormone therapy, ultrasound exam, laparoscopy exam, sigmoidoscopy exam, cat scan, and a D&C. I had no relief from pain, and I felt trapped in a downward spiral that could only end in suicide. I know that I did not want to end my life, but I felt hopeless and helpless.

I am a widow, age 63, and I have interstitial cystitis. I have suffered for 8 years with no or little relief from treatments and visits to 7 different doctors. I was at my wits end.

I was confined to home due to the pain and the frequent need to empty my bladder. I was about ready to have my bladder removed-that was the last resort suggestion by my last doctor. Elmiron did dull my pain and at least allow me to lie down on my couch. That couch became my life.
