say that to the best of my knowledge he is the best surgeon for VVS in the

states at the moment.

I had a vestibulectomy in 2003. My pain was 24/7 but my diagnosis

was vv, not dv because the pain was confined to the vestibule and I

probably would have had no pain if I could have lain on my back all

the time! Sitting really killed me. And sex was just kind of

painful, but HELL afterwards... for days. I did great on tricyclic

meds... got rid of my 24/7 pain, but sex still hurt, so I had the

vestibulectomy. I had pt before my surgery, but now realize it

wasn't good pt. My surgeon referred me to a pt after my surgery and

I learned about pelvic floor stuff my other pt hadn't addressed. So,

in my case, I needed all 3: drug, surgery, pt. Feel free to ask me

about my surgery. I tried a million things before I did it, and my

only regret is that I didn't get a really expert pt evaluation

first. My gut is I still would have needed surgery, but... who knows?

As far as surgeons... I had mine with Dr. in Rochester,

NY and was very well taken care of. I know other women on the list

have spoken favorably of surgery with Dr. Goldstein (NY and

DC) and Dr. Nyerjesy (in Philly).

Marinoff is retired from " clinical " practice. He is still listed on the

faculty of Washington University and was formerly Director of the Center

for Vulvovaginal Disorders in Washington, D.C. Dr. Goldstein took over

his practice.

I believe Marinoff is about 70 years old.

see you have two different addresses listed for him though he is retired. Which

one is correct or were you just listing different addresses you saw through the

NVA?

>I have the NVA's list too, unfortunately they only list physicians that have

been recommended by patients and or participate in their program (that is what I

was told when I asked about it when I volunteered to be a support leader a few

years ago). So doctors that don't affiliate themselves in anyway with the NVA

are sometimes not listed. My surgeon, Dr. on was never on their list, and

I thought she was a phenomenal doctor but Dr. LaVallure was (a doctor who I

never saw personally but other women I spoke two did not have as much luck

with). " Without rabbits a rabbits foot would be nothing but a
