Hall of Shame
.
After receiving way too many emails from doctors who have been listed here on this page, because of a good referral from a patient as well as patients who have emailed me reporting that a doctor listed here has indicated to them that they no longer wish to treat patients living with Vulvodynia AND requesting that I take their listing off the page, this site decided it was time to call out these medical professionals. This new page will list doctors names and addresses as well as the communication received. If you are a patient alerting me to this, only your first name will be listed assuring confidentiality.
