Posting Doctors that have helped us
For those struggling because their doctor isn't good enough, maybe we should have a place to rate doctors on things to help others find doctors that have helped an one of us. I know there is a list, but we could hlep that list to grow if we add the doctors that have helped us somewhere on the message board.

Great idea.

If you go to http://www.ic-network.com/md/submit.html you will find a form you can complete to recommend a physician. It does take a while because we contact the physician to request permission before listing on our site.
If you go to the pull-down menu "browse our site" at the top of this page, you will find Physician listings there.

And like I said the message board would be very different then that. Only our, the patients would recommend doctors, we could rate them, so we could also give warnings on bad ones.
1-5
1=bad
5=good
Rate on different things.
Something that does not need the doctors permission. Soemting that is meaningful to us, because it was made by us.Faith, Hope, and Love,

I don't think it would fly b/c you can't say something bad about a doctor by name on these boards. You can do it in PM or e-mail, but not publicly on the boards.Kim
Diagnosed August 2001
Current IC meds: Elmiron (since 2001), Levaquin (one pill after intercourse to prevent UTIs), Effexor (for depression & anxiety)
Past IC meds: Amitriptyline (Elavil), Hydroxyzine (Vistaril), Detrol LA, Lexapro (for depression & anxiety, but also helped my IC) (They all helped, but I was able to discontinue them.)
I've been virtually symptom free and able to eat & drink whatever I'd like for about 8 years now.

“We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread. They may have been few in number, but they offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms -- to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way.” ~ Viktor Frankl
“You cannot control what happens to you, but you can control your attitude toward what happens to you, and in that, you will be mastering change rather than allowing it to master you.” ~ Brian TracyComment

No doctor is contacted and asked for permission to be listed on the IC Network without first being recommended by another IC Patient.
And posting negative statements about physicians would put the IC Network in legal jeopardy.

How do you get a doctor's name off the list?
GinnyComment

Ginny: Are you asking how to have a doctor's name removed from the list? If so, what you need to do is to email either me or Jill with specific details as to why the doctor's name should be removed.

Hi-
This is what I did when I wanted to know about a doctor. The doctor is well'known and is on the list. I asked in the forum for private messages about this doctor and I was able to decide for myself. Maybe we could have a such a board where we post requests for info to be sent only by PM.

You also can call the doctors office and request a copy of there credentials.... you can look them up in the bbb.

You can't really depend on other's experiences. I went to a doctor who was listed as being very good with ic. Maybe he was having a bad day, but I felt like he blew me off. My friend went to the same doc, she thinks he is wonderful! I am glad she is happy, but I won't go back. My PC is great though, he does not know alot about ic, but he listens to me and respects my opinon on what treatment I think I may need!peaceComment
