A painful condition caused by inflammation and resulting in pain or swelling of the scrotum, testicles, or epididymitis typically affects men who are between 19 and 35 years of age, and is commonly the result of a sexually transmitted infection.
Chronic Epididymitis is a pain or discomfort of at least 3 months of duration in the scrotum, testicle, or epididymis. When patients have chronic epididymitis, the pelvic floor often becomes guarded and spastic and the nerves that innervate the genitals become inflamed. Treatment with the PRM Protocol™ can help treat the pain and other symptoms.
Chronic Epididymitis is a pain or discomfort of at least 3 months of duration in the scrotum, testicle, or epididymis. When patients have chronic epididymitis, the pelvic floor often becomes guarded and spastic and the nerves that innervate the genitals become inflamed.
The onset of pain caused by epididymitis is usually gradual, growing worse over time and those symptoms should be treated before they get worse or develop into larger problems.
With Chronic Epididymitis, there is no longer an active infection, however, due to the presence of the original infection the epididymis remains inflamed despite antibiotic treatment, the pelvic floor muscles become guarded and spastic and the pelvic nerves that innervate the genital area have become irritated. Chronic anxiety and stress may also increase the severity of epididymitis pain or contribute to recurring pain flare-ups most likely due to subconscious clenching of the pelvic floor muscles. Other factors can contribute to a flare-up of Epididymitis:
Pelvic Floor Hypertonia 
Recurrent Bacterial infection 
Sexually transmitted infections such as chlamydia… Sexually transmitted infections such as chlamydia or gonorrhea
Reflux of urine into the ejaculatory… Reflux of urine into the ejaculatory ducts
Spread of tuberculosis or prostate infections 
Epididymitis is the direct result of epididymis becoming inflamed and there are a variety of risks that can cause this painful inflammation and the symptoms that accompany it.
Not practicing safe sex
Having an enlarged prostate
Illnesses such as tuberculosis
Diagnosing chronic epididymitis and the issues that are causing it requires an in-depth examination of both the nerves and muscles within the pelvis, learning of your medical history, and getting a full picture of your symptoms and lifestyle.
Here’s what you can expect when you are a patient at Pelvic Rehabilitation Medicine:
Step One – First, our providers will ask questions about your medical history and listen to your symptoms to get a full picture of what is going on with you.
Step Two – Next, an external exam of your hips, abdomen, and posterior sacrum.
Step Three – Next, your pelvic nerves are evaluated externally with a soft cotton tip.
Step Four – Next, with your consent, gel is placed on a gloved finger and an internal exam is performed to allow us to evaluate the nerves and muscles within the pelvis. There is no speculum required as we are evaluating the pelvic floor muscles and nerves not the organs.
Step Five – Sometimes patients will need Imaging to help us understand if there is an associated cause of the pelvic nerve and muscle pain and dysfunction found on exam.
Step Six – Oftentimes, treatment can be started the same day as there is no down time. Our patients have been suffering with pelvic pain symptoms for 6+ months. We like to get them on the road to feeling better as soon as we can as the longer the symptoms are present the harder it is for us to resolve them.
Once a proper diagnosis has been given, we offer a proprietary office-based procedure to treat the pelvic floor hypertonia and pelvic nerve irritation that often coexists with chronic epididymitis. This treatment consists of a series of pelvic nerve and muscle treatments to directly target the spastic pelvic floor muscles, inflammation in the pelvis, and pelvic nerve pain. Depending on the underlying cause of your epididymitis, other modalities may be needed in addition to our treatment.
Chronic epididymitis is characterized by pain or discomfort lasting at least three months in the scrotum, testicle, or epididymis. Symptoms may include persistent testicular pain, scrotal tenderness, urinary urgency, and increased urinary frequency. Symptoms can develop gradually and interfere with daily activities.
Yes. Some people continue to experience testicular or scrotal pain after an infection has resolved. Persistent symptoms may be associated with pelvic floor muscle tension, irritation of the nerves supplying the genital area, or ongoing inflammation. A medical evaluation can help determine the cause and identify appropriate treatment options.
Pelvic Rehabilitation Medicine evaluates the pelvic nerves, muscles, medical history, and symptoms to identify potential contributors to chronic testicular and scrotal pain. The PRM Protocol™, an office-based treatment approach, targets pelvic floor muscle tension and pelvic nerve irritation that may contribute to persistent pain. Additional treatments may be recommended depending on the underlying cause.

Dr. Kapadia is fantastic. She has helped me tremendously. Finally a doctor that didn’t jump straight to “just take birth control”. I appreciate her willingness to answer questions, take her time, and be accommodating to my traveling. She helps get down to the root cause to help with pelvic pain. Life changing! The nurses were all very kind. Highly recommend!

I had a wonderful experience during my visit today for a PRM rehab consultation. The entire office was attentive, welcoming, and professional. Theodora was incredibly knowledgeable, caring, and thorough in explaining the treatment plan. I also appreciated how clearly and transparently the finance department explained all the costs. It was a great experience !

I had such a great experience at PRM. I went through their hydro dissection series for tailbone pain that didn't resolve with pelvic floor PT. I had 50% relief after just the first injection. The staff are also so friendly and kind. I highly recommend this practice.

I’m so grateful to have found Dr. Askari. He was incredibly kind, patient, and reassuring throughout my care. He took the time to listen to my concerns, explain everything clearly, and made me feel that I was truly in good hands. The procedure went very smoothly, and I really appreciated how caring and attentive he was both before and after. During a stressful time for me, having a doctor I could trust made such a big difference. Thank you, Dr. Askari, for your excellent care and for always making me feel comfortable and supported. I’m truly grateful!

Dr Askari is the most incredible pelvic surgeon on earth. I was able to see him within two days of calling and he listened to my symptoms and did a pelvic exam and scheduled my surgery four weeks later. I believe that no other surgeon would have been able to find what he saw and what he took out. Also the hospital he works with Providence was incredible, the nurses and after care was really amazing. I'm 4 months post surgery I have no more pelvic pain and no more painful PMS symptoms and my health in general has become so much better since surgery with Dr Askari. He cares a lot and is available to talk to by text or call at anytime!! 10 stars Dr. Askari I'm so thankful for what you've done for me!!

Everything about my experience with PRM was positive. The receptionist was very friendly and helpful. The nurse was kind and easy to talk to. The doctor was amazing; she listened to everything I had to say and validated my frustration with my other providers that just kind of pushed me to the side. There was no wait to get an appointment and I got my diagnosis that first appointment. Highly recommend this practice.

Dr. Kimberlee Leishear Is wonderful. She took her time with me, and is a great listener. She truly cares deeply and values your time with her. I highly recommend anyone looking for a specialist who works with pelvic floor /endometriosis to see Dr. Leisher. Additionally, overall staff is super professional and caring. Everyone from the scheduler, Christina to the front check in desk, to MA who took my vitals up until I saw Dr. Kimberlee Leishear. Thank you so much!

Ladies, if you’ve found Dr. Touchan, STOP LOOKING for another doctor and book your first consultation! After seeing six other GYNs who lacked basic compassion and completely dismissed the pain I was experiencing, I had almost lost hope. One appointment with Dr. Touchan provided more emotional relief, answers, and reassurance than I had received in years. For the first time, a doctor made me feel heard and validated. He assured me that what I was experiencing was not normal and, most importantly, that it was not all in my head. He immediately ordered the necessary tests—tests I had been asking other doctors for over the years. Those investigations revealed not only adenomyosis, but also arthritis in both hips and issues with two discs in my lower back. Within three weeks of receiving my diagnosis, I underwent a hysterectomy. The support and care I have received before, during, and after surgery have been incredibly comforting. I’m now eight weeks post-op, and abdominally, I can honestly say I haven’t felt this good since before puberty—and I’m 48 years old! If it weren’t for Dr. Touchan’s thoroughness, experience, and willingness to listen, I truly believe I would still be living with daily pain. PMOS and adenomyosis took so much of my life and limited my ability to do the things I love. Now, I’m slowly progressing toward a new version of myself. Once I have my hip replacements, I’m excited to see what the future holds. I finally feel like I’m getting my life back. I will be forever grateful to Dr. Touchan. His bedside manner, compassion, and precise surgical technique are truly exceptional. More doctors—especially male doctors—could learn so much from the way he treats his patients. Thank you, Dr. Touchan, for listening, believing me, and helping me take the first steps toward a pain-free future. ❤️

Dr. Askari and his team are wonderful!! My daughter didn't have to wait months to get in or get treatment like so many other endometriosis clinics/doctors. My family is so grateful of the care Dr. Askari and his whole team have provided for my daughter. She will be having surgery in a few days and this team has just given us a peace about the whole process.

Dr. Power has given me my life back. I was unheard, told I was too young for such horrible pain. That I needed to see a gastroenterologist or test for IBS. I spent months staying hospitalized, in and out of the hospital with little to no answers. My other health issues were blamed I was desperate. I found Dr. Power through Google and through recommendation of my gynecologist in Cleveland Clinic Weston. She had already done an exploratory surgery and found Endo on my uterus but after surgery recently I still kept having pain, discomforts cramps and even pain to urinate. That’s when I found Dr. Power she explained to me Endometriosis and how different it can look for everyone and where I still had it and didn’t have it removed and finally getting an answer for my pain. Finding out I had adenomyosis as well, she has given me so much relief that I don’t know how I can thank her. I haven’t been to the hospital, my pain is manageable. I can go to school like a normal 27 year old, I can socialize, I can finally be me again. Dr. Power has been the only doctor to hear my cries, understand my pain and actually treat the problem. I hope whoever is in the same predicament finds Dr. Power because she is really helping and being their for her parents and I haven’t seen a doctor be this compassionate, sweet, kind, knowledgeable of a patient. Thank you so much Dr. Power

I truly don’t know if words can fully express how grateful I am that my journey led me to Dr. Ashley Davis. After years of living with endometriosis and adenomyosis, countless appointments, surgeries, pain, and feeling like I constantly had to advocate for myself, finding Dr. Davis felt like finally being able to exhale. From the beginning, she made me feel seen, heard, and genuinely cared for and not just as a patient, but as a person. Making the decision to have a hysterectomy was incredibly emotional and deeply personal. There is something so vulnerable about placing your body and your health in someone else’s hands, and I cannot explain the peace I felt knowing Dr. Davis was the person taking care of me. She took the time to listen to me, answer my questions, respect my wishes, and make sure I understood every part of my care. Her compassion is just as remarkable as her knowledge and skill. I never felt like another case or another surgery on her schedule. I felt like my experience mattered to her. I believe certain people enter our lives at exactly the time we need them, and I will forever feel that way about Dr. Davis. This surgery marked the closing of an incredibly difficult chapter of my life and the beginning of a new one filled with hope. I will always be grateful that she was the person who helped carry me through that transition. If you are navigating endometriosis, adenomyosis, or the incredibly difficult decision of having a hysterectomy, I could not recommend Dr. Ashley Davis more. Thank you for making me feel safe, for listening to me, for caring for me, and for giving me hope for this next chapter of my life. I will never forget the impact you had on my journey. 🤍

March 2026- I cannot say enough incredible things about Dr. Power. After 14 years of living with symptoms and feeling unheard, she was the first doctor who truly took me seriously, and that alone changed everything for me. Before finding Dr. Power, I had undergone a diagnostic laparoscopy just two months prior that left me feeling discouraged and still searching for answers, especially since my pain was worse after that surgery. From the very first appointment with Dr. Power, I knew I was finally in the right place. She spent an incredible amount of time listening to my history, validating my experiences, and explaining endometriosis in a way that was clear, thorough, and compassionate. I never once felt rushed, and for the first time in years, I felt truly understood. When it came time for surgery, Dr. Power went above and beyond in every possible way. My case was very complex, with deeply infiltrating endometriosis, and her level of skill and thoroughness is something I will be forever grateful for. Knowing that she took the time to meticulously remove all of the disease gave me an incredible sense of relief and hope. After surgery, Dr. Power carefully walked my family through all of her findings in detail. She explained exactly what had been done and ensured that we all fully understood my diagnosis and care plan. Her communication and dedication to patient education are truly exceptional. Dr. Power is not only an extraordinarily skilled excision surgeon, but also the most compassionate physician I have ever met. She treats her patients with kindness, patience, and genuine care. After years of suffering and uncertainty, she gave me both validation and hope. She is, without exaggeration, my hero. I truly believe she is one of a kind. I would recommend Dr. Power to anyone and everyone dealing with endometriosis. If you are searching for a doctor who will listen, care deeply, and provide truly expert surgical care, Dr. Power is the one you want on your team. I am beyond grateful to have found her. Edit to add: August 2026 Five- month post-op update: I truly could not be more grateful for Dr. Power. I am in such a better place today and feeling better than I have in a very long time. What means the most is that Dr. Power’s support didn’t end when surgery did. She has continued to listen to me, support me, and help me navigate every step, and she has never once made me feel like she was giving up on me. I will forever be grateful for her, not only for the incredible surgeon she is, but for the truly exceptional doctor and person she continues to be.

Dr. Friedman is the best of the best. He is extremely knowledgeable in women's health and is so thorough with each of his patients. It took me almost 5 years to get my diagnosis and I went through multiple doctors and OBGYNs and i got little to nothing from them about what was going on with my body. It wasn't until Dr. Friedman that took the time to listen and actually educate me on what may be going on. I went through with the excision surgery (Holy Cross Hospital is another 5 star review itself, what an amazing team I had) and I ended up having endometriosis even though all my blood work, ultrasounds, MRI's, etc. came back normal. All it takes is one doctor to really listen to you because you know your body the best, especially when something feels wrong. They treat you like you're the only patient they have and appointments do not feel rushed in the slightest. Cannot thank them enough for taking away my debilitating pain. I would recommend Dr. Friedman to everyone!

I cannot say enough positive things about my experience at Pelvic Rehabilitation Medicine. After more than two years of dealing with chronic pelvic pain related to endometriosis, I finally found a team that listened to me, cared about what I was going through, and offered me an option that has made a meaningful difference in my quality of life. After having a partial hysterectomy and endometriosis excision surgery—which was not performed at Pelvic Rehabilitation Medicine—my pain returned within just a few months. Unfortunately, my experience with my surgeon after the surgery was extremely disappointing. I was essentially dismissed and told that I was fine, that he had “got all my endo,” and that I should “go and live my life.” There was no meaningful aftercare or help when my symptoms continued. By the time I came to PRM, my pelvic pain, inflammation, and constipation had become unbearable. My pain was often a 9–10 out of 10, and it was interfering with my everyday life. That is where Erica Naranjo made such a difference. Erica genuinely listened to me and took the time to understand what I had been experiencing. She developed a treatment plan that included injections aimed at reducing my pelvic pain and inflammation. I drove an hour and 20 minutes each way for six weeks to receive the injections because I was willing to do whatever I could to get some relief. Little by little, over those six weeks, I began to notice a difference. My pain decreased, and I started having bowel movements again. Before treatment, my pain was consistently around a 9–10. After the injections, it has come down to approximately a 2–4, which has been an incredible improvement for me. I also want to recognize Jasmine, who was incredibly kind and compassionate while I received the injections. Having someone there who was reassuring and caring during the treatments meant a lot to me. I understand that these injections are not a cure, and I know I may eventually need additional treatment or possibly another surgery to explore the underlying problem. For now, this gave me an option that provided real relief when I desperately needed it. I was told the injections may provide relief for up to a year before maintenance treatment is needed, and I am hopeful that will be the case. The injections were only partially covered by my insurance because PRM was out of network, so this treatment was also a significant out-of-pocket expense. Even so, I felt that the improvement in my pain and bowel function was worth it. Most importantly, after feeling dismissed for so long, I finally felt heard and cared for. I am incredibly grateful to Erica, Jasmine, and everyone at Pelvic Rehabilitation Medicine for treating me with compassion and giving me hope that I can regain some of the life that chronic pelvic pain has taken from me. If you are struggling with chronic pelvic pain and feel like you have run out of options, I would absolutely recommend giving Pelvic Rehabilitation Medicine a chance. My experience has been overwhelmingly positive, and I am so thankful I found them.

I've genuinely never received such wonderful care at a medical office before. For years, ever since I was a teenager, I felt dismissed by healthcare providers. The relief I felt when Dr. Davis truly listened to me and took my concerns seriously is indescribable. One thing that truly sets this office apart is their communication. Every question I had was answered thoroughly, and I never felt like I was left wondering what was happening or what came next. Whether it was before surgery, during recovery, or through follow-up appointments, the entire team was responsive, reassuring, and always willing to take the time to explain everything. That level of communication gave me so much peace of mind during a very stressful time!!! I am so incredibly grateful for this office. Every staff member is kind, compassionate, understanding, and genuinely cares about their patients. Dr. Davis performed my surgery, and it was the best surgical experience I've ever had. Her skill, professionalism, and kindness made such a difficult time so much easier. I also want to give a special shout-out to Kayla, her nurse practitioner. She is absolutely wonderful, so kind, caring, and supportive. She always made me feel heard and never rushed. I will be forever grateful to everyone in this office. You have truly changed my life, and I can't thank you enough for the exceptional care you've given me.

I’m so glad I found this place! After being turned away for months and being told it was “just pain,” Dr. Elfeky was the first doctor who truly took my pain seriously. I was able to get my surgery planned, scheduled, and approved in less than a week! Amiyah is absolutely amazing to work with, and the entire staff is so friendly, caring, and helpful. This is an office where you feel heard and taken seriously, and they genuinely do everything they can to get you the help you need. After months of feeling dismissed, finding a doctor who actually listened made such a huge difference for me. 5/5 experience. I definitely recommend this office!

So I thought I was coming in for actual PT of PFT (my mistake) but what they offer (based on your personal evaluation) actually works on relaxing the contracted muscle and nerves to reduce pain to then make PT/PFT more tolerable/less painful. Which makes sense now-I did 2 sessions of PFT via telehealth somewhere else and ended up with more pain for a week. Unexpected injections and pelvic exam during this initial visit but RN Kristy Joseph was really thorough in explaining in ways I understood and getting informed consent for the injections which didn’t hurt at all and clear payment option without pressure to procede. I am actually pleasantly surprised with PRM and researched more on the injections which confirmed all she explained and I’m very exciting for the pain relief to come. Thank you PRM!!

One thing that stood out to me was how consistent everyone’s experience seems to be. After reading the other reviews, I realized the qualities I appreciated most, her compassion, thoroughness, and willingness to truly listen, weren’t unique to me. That’s simply who Dr. Power is as a physician. After years of living with chronic pelvic pain, I finally found a physician who truly listened. From my very first appointment, Dr. Power took the time to understand my symptoms, answer every question, and explain my options in a way that made me feel informed and confident in my care. My surgery confirmed adenomyosis along with extensive deep infiltrating endometriosis affecting multiple pelvic and abdominal structures, requiring a multidisciplinary surgical team. Dr. Power coordinated my care seamlessly with specialists in colorectal surgery, urology, and urogynecology, giving me complete confidence that every aspect of my disease would be addressed. Her surgical expertise was evident, but what impressed me just as much was her compassion and commitment to her patients. Her care didn’t end with surgery. She developed a comprehensive recovery plan that included pelvic floor physical therapy, nutrition guidance tailored specifically to endometriosis, and chronic pain counseling, recognizing that healing involves much more than the surgical procedure itself. Throughout my recovery, I always felt there was an open line of communication. Knowing I could reach out with questions or concerns and receive thoughtful guidance provided tremendous peace of mind during what could otherwise have been an overwhelming experience. She has never made me feel rushed and has always taken the time to answer questions, address concerns, and support my recovery. If you have endometriosis, chronic pelvic pain, or have been searching for answers without feeling heard, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Power. She is an exceptional surgeon, an outstanding physician, and one of the most compassionate doctors I have ever had the privilege of being treated by. I will always be grateful for the care she provided and for giving me hope after years of pain.

Dr. Elfecky and Amiyah truly changed my life. After a decade of with an endometriosis diagnosis, I finally felt heard and like my pain mattered. I was able to have an excision surgery alongside a myomectomy with Dr. Elfecky's lead, and I am so grateful for the care he put into every step. I will be working with PRM moving forward to help supplement the surgical procedure. I definitely recommend visiting Dr. Elfecky and team, it will change your life! So grateful we were able to find them.

I’m forever grateful that I found PRM. The entire team is professional and kind. Ericka is my orange angel. It takes a special kind of provider to make intimate pain injections a therapeutic experience. I couldn’t have been in better hands. The team helped me to find a PT, OBGYN and to meet with Dr. Touchan for surgery, despite my stubbornness. He also made me feel safe and cared for so I have surgery a green light. He ended up finding extensive stage endometriosis and conducting a long and skillful operation. Throughout the entire process the team helped me through all the finance and work documents. Allison, Jasmine and Marielle are all amazing at what they do

I came in to their center in tears, with so much pain & worry about what was truly happening to my body and they made me feel welcome. They made me feel heard. They validated my feelings, and the symptoms that I was feeling, it truly wasn’t all in my head. They educated me about my pelvic floor, and I honestly feel that they have saved me. I have been changed forever, I feel so good!! Thank you! Thank you!! 🫶🏼 Everyone, everywhere needs to know about this place and the resources, education & help they offer.

My provider, Ximena, is very kind and knowledgeable, and makes sure to walk me through every step of my treatment when I go in for my appointments, so there are no surprises. The front desk staff and medical assistants are all very friendly and efficient, making my treatments as seamless as possible. They are very transparent on pricing and devised a plan that works best for me. I would definitely recommend them!

I don’t even know where to start with this review, but there aren’t enough stars to express how I feel. The Houston office is filled with amazing people. I went to Pelvic Rehabilitation Medicine for Pelvic Floor Muscle Hypertonia treatment. There aren’t a lot of options for this condition and there aren’t a lot of knowledgable doctors or even specialists for this condition, especially for men. I am so fortunate and grateful to have received treatment from Rasheedrick and her team. Yes, Rasheedrick and her staff perform helpful medical procedures in this office. But what they ACTUALLY do there is far more important than the procedures. I’ve spent years seeing a multitude of doctors and specialists. I was even was referred to one of the leading medical centers in the country. The “specialist” there made me cry when I met them because they were extremely pompous and dismissive and I knew they weren’t going to help me. I can’t tell you how many times I had this same or similar experience with doctors in the last five years. So what do they ACTUALLY do at PRM besides the procedures? They provide care. They care for you. They listen to you. They hear you. They help you. They equip you with knowledge. They heal you. It’s like receiving the big medical hug that you haven’t been able to find anywhere else. If you’ve been seeking help and answers while suffering with pain and discomfort, this is the place you need to go. Rasheedrick and her staff are highly knowledgable in their field. You will find the relief you seek here. Shane. ❤️

I have been dismissed for many years about my pain until I called this clinic and they got me in contact with the Dallas team. Myesha is amazing and so kind as are all the techs/nurses. She is so helpful with any questions and makes you feel seen and heard. In October 2025 I had excision surgery with Dr. Elfeky and after surgery I was pain free immediately. I only had the surgical pain which was far less than the typical pain I had been living with. I felt so understood and finally had an answer to my pain. Recently I had a question and messaged him through the portal and he called me to talk about it with me. He is amazing and truly gave me my life back and I was pain free for 7 months. I was able to have a pain free wedding day and I am just forever grateful for this team. If I still struggle with pain, I will absolutely be using them (and I drive 3.5 hours to come to this clinic)

Dr. Askari truly helped me regain my life after struggling with endometriosis since 2017. Before finding him, I went through multiple doctors who either misdiagnosed me or couldn’t provide real solutions. It was an incredibly frustrating and emotional experience—I often felt helpless and even questioned my own sanity because of the constant pain and lack of answers. Everything changed once I became his patient. I was finally properly diagnosed with endometriosis, and he took the time to manage my pain before moving forward with surgery. Dr. Askari performed excision surgery, which made a huge difference in my quality of life. He also discovered that my cervix was completely closed, explaining why I had been unable to get pregnant. He addressed this with a second procedure (D&C), giving me hope for my future. Throughout the entire process, Dr. Askari was compassionate, knowledgeable, and thorough. He answered all of my questions and made sure I understood every step. His team was equally professional, kind, and supportive. I am so grateful for the care I received. I would highly recommend Dr. Askari to anyone struggling with endometriosis or feeling hopeless—he truly listens, cares, and changes lives.

Dr. Christopher Kliethermes saved my sanity!! I had been a patient at University of Michigan Von voitlander women's hospital for 8 years. I had several procedures done and was told they were the highest and best endometriosis specialists. My case became so severe, I was unable to have a bowel movement and told to continue my pelvic floor PT. (6 years of it with no improvement.) U of M denied my request for MRI imaging. I sent my records to PRM and they were able to start treatment the following week due to a cancellation. I started same day injection treatments for 6 weeks and finally got diagnosed via MRI with Deep Infiltrating Endometriosis. It was severely affecting my Rectovaginal & Uterosacral Ligaments along with bowel and Ureters (tubes that connects kidney to bladder.) Both of my ovaries also adhered to my abdominal wall causing daily pain. PRM coordinated everything with an extra colorectal surgeon just in case it was needed during surgery. They did all the paperwork and phone calls to insurance to assure that everything was covered. (I have Blue Cross Blue Shield) It has only been 2 weeks since my hysterectomy, but I can poop again like a normal person!! I feel hopeful and actually looking forward to my future! 🎗️💛 Thank you PRM!!!!

I’m so grateful I found Dr. Askari and his team at Pelvic Rehabilitation Medicine in Los Angeles! I felt cared for as a whole person from the moment I met Dr. Askari. He was curious about me, my health and my life experience. Not only did he answer my questions thoroughly, he was genuinely concerned with what concerned me, and affirmed me as a person. Dr. Askari was generous with his time and he was very respectful of my comfort and consent. As my surgery approached, he was great about answering my questions, very responsive! Dr. Askari met me pre-surgery and put me completely at ease, explaining procedures, taking the time to be sure I felt safe and cared for. Post surgery, Dr. Askari has been very attentive and available when I needed his care. He considered my trust as sacred. I highly recommend him!😊 Also, Simone was very kind and helpful as a medical assistant and made me feel very comfortable during my time in office. Zaira was extremely patient and supportive in scheduling and helping me with insurance coverage and financial concerns. If you seek the most knowledgeable, integrative care for your gynecological conditions, you will find it, as well as compassion and dignity at Pelvic Rehabilitation Medicine of Los Angeles. 😊

I’ve gone to doctors who have dismissed my pain, told me it was normal or something else entirely. Then I decided to Google endometriosis specialists and these guys showed up. Made an appointment very quickly, didn’t dismiss my pain, gave me cool stickers, immediately made plans for treatment and I’m getting surgery soon thanks to these guys instead of waiting a few more years while it only got worse. Everyone here is really awesome, Dr. Ximena is very welcoming and super cool. The ladies at the front desk are really nice and great to talk to. I highly recommend going here if you have any sort of pelvic pain.

I honestly cannot recommend PRM of Troy more. Dr. Kliethermes and Dr. Warznie have both been absolutely essential components of my care and treatment of Stage 4 Deep infiltrating endometriosis and adenomyosis. Since first meeting with Dr. Kliethermes last October, I have been more supported in my journey than ever before. I appreciate that all of the staff are so down to earth, understanding and patient individuals who never once made me feel as though I was just another number coming through the door. The front desk staff is always polite and welcoming, I don't ever have to wait for than 5 minutes before being called back to my room, and I am treated with dignity. The surgical coordinator, Sara, is knowledgeable and assuring. Dr. Kliethermes himself is highly skilled, making for an incredibly easy recovery from excision and hysterectomy. He also recently took time to be with me for a few minutes before my bowel resection surgery due to endometriosis as well, and worked closely with my colorectal surgeon to ensure best possible outcomes. Dr. Warznie always makes sure to ask permission before beginning any procedure, whether it's injections or just a general post-op visit. She takes real time to listen and go over any concerns. If you're looking for true quality care with compassionate doctors, you've found it with PRM Troy. They have given me my life back.

He takes the time to listen, answers every question with patience, and makes every visit comfortable and stress-free. His compassionate approach and genuine concern for his patients make a tremendous difference. You never feel rushed, and he always ensures you feel heard, respected, and well cared for. It's clear that he is passionate about providing the highest quality care. I am incredibly grateful to have such an amazing doctor. I highly recommend Dr. Shakiba to anyone looking for a skilled, compassionate, and trustworthy gynecologist/specialist. He is truly outstanding!

From the front desk receptionist, assistant and Erika it was a breath of fresh air! They were so genuine and compassionate. I highly recommend Pelvic Rehabilitation Medicine in Florham Park NJ! If you have been suffering with any type of pelvic pain you need to come here! I’ve been thru it all, Uro/Gyno, Pelvic PT, etc. No one came close to what Erika Naranjo explained to me. I did the treatment today and it wasn’t as bad as what I pictured in my head! Thank you PRM! I appreciate all of you💙

I had my first appointment today with Kayla Allen, and if I’m not mistaken, the front office staff mentioned that today (6/9/2026) was her first day at the office. How blessed am I to have been one of her patients on her very first day and leave feeling truly seen, heard, cared for, and supported? She answered all of my questions and showed so much compassion and understanding for my situation. She is absolutely incredible! Kayla was attentive to my treatment plan and was determined not to let me leave the office in pain. That level of care means more than I can express. For the first time in a long time, I feel hopeful and confident about my journey ahead. Thank you, Kayla, for being exactly who you are—kind, caring, compassionate, and dedicated to your patients. Your impact was felt from the moment I walked through the door. A special shoutout as well to the entire front office and administrative staff, especially Jordan. Everyone was so welcoming, professional, and supportive throughout my visit. I am so grateful that I chose this practice for my treatment and upcoming surgery. Thank you all for making such a difficult season of my life feel a little easier. 🙏🏾🥹💖 ( Christina Cowart)

I had such a great experience with Kristy Joseph, APRN, FNP-C and staff at Pelvic Rehabilitation Medicine. From the moment I met Kristy, she was professional, compassionate, and took the time to listen to my concerns. She thoroughly answered all of my questions, and not once did I feel brushed off as I have been with other medical facilities. Kristy recommended a treatment regimen and she made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. I had been experiencing severe pelvic pain for the past three years to the point I would vomit as a result, and it had a significant impact on my daily life. After receiving treatment, I am finally beginning to experience some relief, which has given me hope and improved my quality of life. Pelvic pain can be a difficult and an emotional condition to deal with, but Kristy treated me with kindness, patience, and genuine care. Her expertise and reassuring demeanor helped ease my anxiety, and I felt confident that I was in good hands. I highly recommend Kristy Joseph APRN, FNP-C to anyone seeking treatment for pelvic pain including endometriosis, adenomyosis, pelvic floor dysfunction, etc. She is knowledgeable, skilled, and truly dedicated to her patients’ well-being.

I am so grateful for Amanda and the entire team. Every person in the office has been kind, welcoming, and professional, and I've never felt so heard in a medical setting. Before beginning treatment, they took the time to thoroughly explain the costs and insurance coverage so there were no surprises, and I appreciated the transparency and the opportunity to make an informed decision. After my first round of injections, they evaluated my progress and adjusted my treatment plan. While this type of treatment isn't an overnight fix, I've finally started seeing meaningful progress. Everyone here treats patients with compassion, respect, and understanding. I would highly recommend this practice to anyone seeking specialized pelvic rehabilitation treatment.

For a full year I have gone from doctor to doctor to get help with no leads on what was wrong. From the moment I walked in to Pelvic Rehabilitation Medicine I felt welcome and heard. They answered every question I had and everyone one of them have been stellar. I got more relief in one appointment than I have in an entire year with anyone else. I hoghly recommend them.

An amazing practice that specialize in Pelvic floor dysfunction and so much more with caring, respectful, courteous staff. They treat you with dignity and no judgement whatsoever. Kristy, Ashley, and everyone else completely exceeded above and beyond want expectations I had regarding medical care and I'll tell you this their beside manner addresses the privacy and embarrassment when focusing on this specialty. I am here in Miami fully in commitment with the treatment plan they have for me away from my home alone in a big city but they are so caring and treat me like family and if you think you have anything wrong with your pelvic floor don't hesitate to tell a doctor immediately bc the longer you wait the worse you can get.

After I moved to the area, I was looking to establish care for an existing endometriosis diagnosis. Their website and front desk folks are very helpful with going over insurance coverage/costs and payment options depending on if you’re out of network or not, and what the recommended treatment protocols include. They truly care about their patients and improving symptoms while minimizing the number of surgeries needed. They are the first practice I’ve been to that I felt was truly staffed by pelvic pain specialists. Claire Lee is phenomenal, and I will absolutely recommend this practice to anyone I know suffering from chronic pelvic pain conditions.

Dr. Sankey-Thomas must have paid attention and studied hard on her path to becoming a surgeon, because we threw a ton of questions at her and she had in-depth answers for every one of them. She laid out every option we had and explained the benefits and risks of each. She made us at ease right from the very start and we knew my wife was in good hands ** Post-surgery update*** I wish I could add more stars because Dr Sankey-Thomas had already earned 5 stars in the care my wife received pre-surgery, so i feel like thus should be a 7 or 8 star review at this point. Prior to surgery, Dr had said based on the symptoms, here's what i suspect is going on, but we need to get imaging done to confirm. Imaging confirmed she was 100% correct. The surgery went amazingly well and the team made many efforts to keep me updated while waiting to keep me from freaking out. The aftercare was fantastic with the doctor taking time to walk us through what took place during surgery, what to expect in recovery and healing, and where treatment goes from there. And Dr Sankey-Thomas was so encouraging, positive, and reassuring throughout the whole process that I'm pretty sure my wife wants to be best friends with her at this point. Cannot say enough positive things about the doctor and her team.

Dr. Power came into my life as an answered prayer. She has been a true blessing for this long and winding health journey. The second we met and made eye contact her energy and vibrations assured me that she was the one that could help me. She has a caring bedside manner and you can tell that she is passionate about her work with each patient. I was fortunate to be referred to her by Dr. Sandhu who works in tandem at the same office. My pain and suffering was finally validated by women who knew exactly what was happening to me. Endometriosis affects your entire body and immune system. She is a rare diamond of a surgeon and someone who actually heals women that have been gaslighted for years by the medical field. Pain is a very personal journey. To have her guidance/support through each step has been nothing less than amazing. Her assistant Ashley has an extremely positive presence/aura and is always willing to help. Dr. Power was given a gift of magical hands that can literally heal. Eternally grateful to have found her and this office of women. I would recommend her a million times over to anyone who is done with suffering!!!

I had an excellent experience with Dr. Sankey-Thomas. She truly listened to me and made me feel heard. The office staff was also very kind and supportive. This was my second endometriosis surgery (stage IV) and for the first time in two years, I am finally pain-free. I’m incredibly grateful for her care and highly recommend her to anyone struggling with endometriosis.

Drove over 5 hours to see Dr. Davis and was not disappointed. She took her time and made me feel comfortable and validated. Highly recommend.

Dr. Davis is truly a miracle worker!! She is not only EXTREMELY knowledgeable but is committed to her patients. I have endometriosis, adenomyosis and PCOS. I sought out treatment with Dr. Davis for endometriosis. Dr. Davis not only put me at ease prior to my excision procedure, but my Husband as well for he was so nervous about my health and well-being. I recently had surgery in January 2026. Following surgery, I can feel a difference with my improvement. What I appreciate most about Dr. Davis is she's attentive to your specific needs and is honest. Unlike various other physicians I sought out for help here in metro Atlanta that claim to treat endometriosis, Dr. Davis didn't ignore my symptoms nor deny me help. Instead she determined the best course of action for my condition. I look forward to achieving greater improvement as I continue to heal on my journey.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience at Pelvic Rehabilitation Medicine. I came in feeling completely defeated—after seeing multiple doctors, undergoing numerous tests and exams, and still having no answers, I was in constant pain, miserable, and honestly starting to lose hope. From the moment I arrived, everything changed. The team truly listened to me. They didn’t dismiss my symptoms or make me feel like “nothing was wrong” just because prior tests were negative. Instead, they validated everything I was feeling and created a safe, supportive space where I finally felt heard and understood. They developed a personalized treatment plan tailored to my symptoms, and I was genuinely amazed to notice a significant improvement in just one week. For the first time in a long time, I feel like I can live my life with more comfort and ease. Theodora, my provider, was exceptional—knowledgeable, compassionate, and with an incredible bedside manner. She took the time to explain everything thoroughly, making sure I understood each step of the process and felt confident in my care. Cannot recommend Theodora enough. I also want to recognize Rochelle and Anita, who were equally amazing. They made everything run so smoothly, from preparing me for treatments to handling paperwork and procedures seamlessly. Beyond that, they were kind, patient, and always willing to answer my many questions with genuine care. This is truly a remarkable team of women who are dedicated to helping women feel better and regain their quality of life. I am so grateful I found them and would highly recommend Pelvic Rehabilitation Center to anyone in need of compassionate, effective care.

Dr. Powers and her staff are hands down the best of the best. After 2 “bad” ablation surgeries and lots of research I finally found Dr. Powers and her team. My only regret was not finding them sooner! She is extremely sweet and caring and truly listens to you and understands what you say! She is very highly educated in all things endometriosis and it makes a person feel so much relief just knowing she understands you. Had a full excision surgery by Dr. Powers. I truly highly recommend Dr. Powers and her team! Even if you’re traveling far like me, it’s worth every minute!

I have had a great experience at Pelvic Rehabilitation Medicine in Houston. The receptionist, the nurse, Dr. Clark, literally everyone has been incredibly welcoming and friendly. I appreciate Dr. Clark for taking the time to answer all my questions and ensuring I was comfortable throughout the entire process. I did not feel rushed at all and she throughly explains everything! The facility is clean and inviting. I would highly recommend anyone experiencing any pelvic health issues to schedule an appointment with Dr. Clark and her team.

I had an absolutely amazing appointment! Dr. Friedman is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and very informative. He takes his time to explain everything in a way that makes you feel comfortable and understood. From the moment I walked in, I truly felt at home and encouraged after speaking with him. If you are dealing with endometriosis, no matter where it is affecting your body—whether it’s related to your bowels, GI system, kidneys, ureters, or GYN areas—Dr. Friedman and his team are well equipped to help. Their level of expertise and care is truly impressive. I left my appointment feeling hopeful and supported. I’m very excited and he is the doctor I will continue working with moving forward.

Everyone at PMR is amazing! It’s the first office I have been to that I have been met with compassion and empathy. They take a holistic view and are one of the best practices I have been to, and I’ve unfortunately been to many! I am so grateful they took my symptoms seriously and make an effort to not only provide amazing care, but are front line on research on endometriosis, which is a rarity! I would highly recommend!

For the first time in 25 years, I truly felt listened to about my pain. My experience at Pelvic Rehabilitation Medicine was unlike any medical appointment I’ve had before. From the very beginning, I was met with compassion, patience, and genuine curiosity about what I’ve been living with. My pain wasn’t minimized, dismissed, or rushed past. I felt heard. I felt seen. I felt validated. After decades of discomfort and trying to explain symptoms that often felt misunderstood, it was incredibly emotional to finally sit with providers who took the time to understand the full picture. They approached my concerns with empathy and expertise, and I left feeling hopeful instead of defeated. If you’ve been struggling to find answers or feel dismissed in other medical spaces, I cannot recommend Pelvic Rehabilitation Medicine enough. Being listened to shouldn’t feel rare in healthcare but here, it truly mattered.

Dr. Sandhu and Dr. Power truly changed my life. When I first walked into their office, my endometriosis pain was at a 10. I was discouraged and honestly beginning to question myself after years of feeling like maybe this is how your periods are supposed to feel. From our very first appointment, they treated me with care, patience, and deep compassion. They took the time to go into every single detail of my symptoms, my history, and my concerns. I never once felt rushed or unheard. What meant the most to me was when they confirmed that my pain was real — that it was truly “not in my head, but in my pelvis.” That validation alone was healing. But they didn’t stop there. They carefully walked me through a thoughtful treatment plan, explained every option, answered every question, and made sure I felt empowered in my own care. Today, my pain is almost at zero. That feels like a miracle after living in constant discomfort for so long. I have my quality of life back, feel more present with my children and husband (who made me initially go to them!) , energized in my work, and I owe so much of that to Dr. Sandhu and Dr. Power. Their entire team reflects the same level of excellence. From the front desk staff to the nurses, everyone is kind, engaging, and genuinely invested in patient care. It’s everything a doctor’s office should be — warm and compassionate. I cannot express enough gratitude for what they have done for me. They didn’t just treat my endometriosis; they restored my hope and my wellness.

I started seeing Dr. Davis in June 2025, and she has truly been a light in my endometriosis journey. From my very first appointment, she made me feel heard, understood, and cared for. Her bedside manner and compassion are unmatched — she takes the time to listen to every concern and explain things thoroughly, which has made such a difference in how I feel supported and informed about my care. Endometriosis can be a difficult and isolating condition, but Dr. Davis brought both expertise and empathy to every visit and through my excision surgery and hysterectomy. I’m so grateful to have found a doctor who genuinely cares and goes above and beyond for her patients. I can’t recommend her enough.

Dr.Theodora and Jazmyne saved my life. After years of being in constant pain, years of not knowing what was wrong with my body, years of seeing doctor after doctor with no clear answers. Dr. Theodora and Jazmyne gave me the hope & validation I needed to push forward. This experience at PRM has been the best thing I’ve ever experienced at any doctors office. Every single one of my questions were answered with clear explanation. I didn’t feel like I was crazy or dramatic (like previous doctors have said to me) and I am no longer in the excruciating pain I was in before. Coming here I feel at ease and I feel like I’m with family. My pain has decreased almost 100% and I am finally starting to live life like every human being deserves to live. Thank you both for everything you’ve done, & especially thank you, for being an advocate for those who fight these battles of constant pain alone.

Dr Touchan is a VERY caring and compassionate physician. I hadn’t had a checkup or Pap or mammogram in years bc of life circumstances and he didn’t make me feel awful about it. My exam showed the need for an abdominal ultrasound and he did a great job explaining the situation and my options. Chrissy the nurse is great and Cynthia the surgical coordinator was as well. Everyone in that office is kind and professional. My surgery was more extensive than it seemed I told be based on the ultrasound but I healed well and Dr.Touchan was great with following up.

I was very nervous about my visit. The moment I stepped into the office my anxieties were quelled. The ocean sounds played in the office, the encouraging affirmation signs and welcoming, friendly front office staff were wonderful compliments to the thorough visit I had with Jessica. Jessica explained in a detailed, easy to understand manner all things pelvis. I appreciate the professionalism and expertise.
