Hi there,
I don't know of any doctors specifically, but have you tried this place?
Chronic Pelvic Pain Center
2330 Post St Ste 220
San Francisco, CA 94115-3466
Phone: (415) 885-7788
See who they have and what their credentials/experiences are. I see a
general practitioner for my gyno stuff, because he is the only nice
person I've ever found and he knows what he's doing and knows a lot
about bio-identical hormones and I see a pelvic pain/endo specialist who
gives me monthly pain meds until I decide when to have surgery.
I hope this is helpful to you!
