After far too many excruciating months of pain and discomfort in my nether regions and no answers (but plenty of unnecessary pain and frustration from the traditional group of medical specialists), I feel blessed to have found Dr. Susie Gronski on the internet. She literally saved my life as she guided me on a path to heal myself from pelvic pain. Dr. Susie is nothing short of amazing! She has what most doctors today sorely lack great compassion, accessibility, knowledge, humor, and gentle care for her patients. Dr. Susie Gronski is the real deal! Run, dont walk to her special approach to healing. She is the gold standard for doctor-patient care!

Thank you, Susie, for all of your hard work putting this hilariously helpful resource together and striving to make sure it contains the best, most up-to-date evidence. This book is a brilliant resource for anyone who has ever had pain, with a few frank and beans jokes thrown in for fun.

Im a male in my late 50s who began experiencing an ache in what felt like the bottom of my being which intensified after sexual activity. Over about eight months, it worsened. Neither my MD nor a urologist had any specific ideas for relief. I suffered physically and doubted my viability going forward until I got a newsletter from my doctor introducing me to Dr. Susies practice.
It would be difficult to overstate how helpful Dr. Susie was from the time I made contact with her to after only our third session. By that time, the ache had largely disappeared, and I was able to be sexually active without pain. I now have techniques and a way of understanding and managing so the ache is either non-existent or a relatively minor and temporary inconvenience.
I highly recommend seeing Dr. Susie for any and all male issues in the nether regions.
