Looking for a doctor (fustrated)

[bluetart]

Hey,

I am from maine, is there anyone else in maine. I need a better doctor. I want a good one lol. I have had seen one gyn and two urologists thus far, that know less than I do about IC. I live close to bangor, but I am willing to go all the way to boston, to find a good one. I can take the bus, and not have to worry about bathroom trips because there is one on there. I want some real answers and some real treatments options. Has anyone had any luck with Urologists, or anyone specializing in IC in maine. The doctor I went to was recomended :(, he was lousy. Anyone from portland maine, that area is way more developed, and could have better doctors.

I feel like I have gotten very little treatment, and wasn't given options except for get married and pop out kids. The doctors I have see are just a bunch of old farts, with a very sexest veiw. They treat other old men who can't pee. I never seen one woman except for the paitents wives being treated in any of the offices I've been in. besides the fact everyone is about 50-60 years older than I am. Ahhh.. that can't be a good sign.

Hi,

I would suggest that you also post the question in the USA threads that cover the New England area. Someone might respond to your post in either threads. Wish I could help you, I'm in Mass and I know how hard it is to find a good doctor. Good luck!
