I have been seeing Eric Douglas of Douglas Orthopedic and Spine Rehab for about 3 years now. He is very up to speed with the latest on Pelvic pain, AHIP, etc. Also, very reasonable at my $50 per visit uninsured rate.
Nothing but good things to say.
Clinic number is 239-947-4184

I just wanted to thank Richie for dropping this fellow's name to me. I've since spoken with the therapist via email, and have found him to be very accessible and friendly. He understood all of the terms we regularly drop here on the boards, and was nothing but supportive.
I'm strongly considering a bit of a trip to see him.
