Out of Town Patients
Many patients have traveled to our center from across the country and around the world for treatment for various pelvic pain syndromes. We realize that many patients live in areas where resources for pelvic pain treatment are not available. Therefore, we developed an out-of-town treatment program making effective treatment available for our patients outside of the Bay Area. Experience has taught us that pelvic pain syndromes typically require ongoing care so we work closely with our patient’s current providers in their hometown when available, and if not, we help them find qualified professionals to continue their recommended treatment program.
