I have been with the same uro for about 6 years with my IC and I get kidney stone quitr often. He was with a large uro group wich I hated. Every time I would call with a problem they made me feel like I was the problem. I have tried elmerion sp? and I do insrills they help some what. I travel alot which most of you know can throw you in a huge flare. He does not like to give pain meds. I am lucky to get 30 vicodon every three months or so. And even then they make me feel like a junkie. I had my gyno give me valium to use vaginaly.That seems to be working better than anything. IM sorrry, I am going on and on venting. I really think it is time for me to find a new doc. Everyone says the one I have is so great (anyone who has told me this has not had IC).So, long story short, Does anyone know of a good uro in central IL? I live outside of Peoria. Thanks for listening!!!!!!!:angel:

I just happened to see this post. I spend most of my days in Champaign. Ive only been to one uro at Christie Clinic. He's ok. I dont think I really gave him a good chance. He did the cytoscopy, and it caused me extreme pain. Then when I went back, he handed me a book about a low acid diet and that was it. He just wasnt my style. But I also get freaked out easily by docs so it may not have been him. I may not have spoke up enough.

I drove to Dekalb to see Dr Burstein in November. He is a well respected doc in the IC community. I really liked him. I have a very mild case and he was a great listener. Ive even called his nurses with questions, and they are very nice and helpful. I live in Gibson City which is straight east of Bloomington and straight north of Champaign. Im about 30-40 miles from each.

Nice to meet you!:welcome::hi:
