Surgical procedure is possibly one of the more stressful events in anyone’s life. Choosing the surgeon and the hospital to have surgery may be quite difficult, especially that are many hospitals and well trained physicians to choose from. Arizona Center for Chronic Pelvic Pain and Minimally Invasive Pelvic Surgery specializes in advanced and complicated surgical procedures. Our institution is one of only three in United States where we perform surgical decompression of injured pudendal nerve, and patients from all over North America come to St. Joseph’s to have this surgery done. We are also one of the very few institutions in the country to perform laparoscopic Vecchietti procedure. We are also a fellowship training site for Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery. Our fellowship is one of eighteen fellowships accredited by American Academy of Gynecologic Laparoscopists. When you choose to have surgery in our practice, you are choosing to have it done by a surgeon who not only dedicates his practice solely to pelvic surgery, but by one who has trained many gynecologic surgeons himself.
