doctors that treat ic

[maryk]

Hi,
Does anyone know of any good doctors in the Boston area (or surrounding) that treat IC? I am not happy with the hospital I currently go to.
THANKS! Mary

I visited Dr. Staskin, and Dr. Bellin was training there. She was very nice, is she still working there?

I don't know if Dr. Bellin is still there. As far as I knew she was not in training there but now practicing like any other doctor on that floor. (that was the impression I got anyways)

Last I saw her she was VERY pregnant and I do know she had to commute from Worcester to Boston everyday. (yuck!) I may be calling their office soon, as my local uro is having baby of her own the end of April. I'll try and remeber to ask. smile.gif

MaryK,

Thought I chime in with my 2 cents.

I see Dr. Paul Church at BIDMC. His office is on 319 Longwood Avenue (right behind the East Campus of BIDMC). He has another office at Faulner Hospital a few miles down the road from there as well.

Like, Yvette, Dr. Staskin was the uro surgeon that put my perm. neurostimulator in (aka Interstim). I went to see Dr. Sant about a year ago based on a recommendation from Dr. Church. Dr. Sant basically looked over my IC treatment history etc., and recommended a pain clinic. He was nice and professional, but as I have tried literally almost every available drug, therapy, and treatment he wasn't able to do much else for me.

For me, if I need to have another cysto/hydro Dr. Church would be my choice. His office # is 617-975-2321.

Good Luck. smile.gif
