Can anyone recommend a urologist and or a PT in central New Jersey. I have had issues on and off (mostly on ) for about 4 months. My most troubling symptom is never ending lower abdominal/pelvic pain.
I would be willing to travel to NYC or philidelphia if necessary to find someone good.
Thanks,
Mike

Hi there,
Since you're willing to travel to NYC ... For urologists, Dr. Moldwin's name is often passed around here, and he comes recommended by Dr. Wise of HITP. I believe Moldwin is still at Long Island Jewish Hospital. There is also a Dr. Kaufman in NYC, who I understand to also grasp the muscular potential in CPPS.
With regard to physical therapy, you have quite a few options in that same area. Stacey Futterman and Marilyn Freedman (you can search their names on the boards) are both highly recommended on our forums.

I haven't heard of anyone good in Central Jersey. Since New York isn't that far away, that might be worth a look.chewy71 wrote:Can anyone recommend a urologist and or a PT in central New Jersey.
