Hi Linda,
You mention you're in California. It's a big state
but I do know a doctor with a lot of experience
treating adhesions and pelvic pain who is in
Northern California. His name is Andrew Cook.
You can check out his website at http://www.pelvicpain.com.
Don't be put off by all the information about
endometriosis on his site, he does specialize
in endo but he treats a lot of adhesion patients
as well. Heck, endometriosis can cause adhesions
so I'd say the majority of the endo patients for
whom Dr. Cook does surgery have adhesions. I know
I did.
Dr. Cook is not contracted with insurance so you'd
be utilitizing your out of network benefits however,
it's well worth the expense in my opinion. We live
in Northern California. When I first found Dr.
Cook and went to him for surgery he was in New
Orleans. I'd go to New Orleans again in a heartbeat
if he were still there if I ever needed surgery again.
Dr. Cook's telephone number is 408-358-2511.
Best of luck.
