hello Judy. thanks for letting us know that this product actually helps. hmm, as to finding a doctor...you may contact Uroplasty directly, I think they should be able to direct you to accredited doctors. i suggest also that accredited doctors should administer this product to you not anybody else, not even an acupuncturist.

My physician is leaving the area. There is no one else in the metro Atlanta area that does this procedure. Every now and then my doctor has a very difficult time finding the tibial nerve, and has to use multiple needles and stick up to 9 times. Other times he gets the spot right off the bat. His partner says that he will try to do this procedure for me after my doc leaves, but the partner has never tried it before. I'm afraid that he will get discouraged and without the treatment, my life will be very restricted as it was before. Do you have any suggestions for me? If the remaining doc in the practice cannot place the needle correctly, how can I find another doc in the area who is doing this. My current doc says there is no one, but I thought you might know. Might an acupuncturist be able to do the procedure. Many thanks. Judy
