For those living with complex gynecologic pain, the path to proper diagnosis and treatment can feel endless. Years may pass as patients search for providers who truly understand their condition and can offer meaningful solutions.
I had my virtual consultation with Dr. Babb today. Although I was extremely nervous going into the appointment, I left feeling a sense of relief and hope.
Erica* hopes to see Dr. Babb, at Haven Center, whose expertise and compassion she trusts, to get a second opinion for a recent diagnosis she believes is incorrect. She’s seeking a healthcare provider who listens, answers questions without rushing, and is honest about what they can and cannot treat.
Through all of this, Erica has leaned on her husband for support. His love and reassurance have been a lifeline, even though support alone can’t relieve the pain.
Erica* has been living with complex gynecologic pain for over seven years. Her symptoms have worsened pre-existing anxiety, depression, and obsessive tendencies, making it hard to stay productive at home or at work. Intimacy with her husband has been challenging, and the financial burden of consulting multiple specialists—many of whom don’t accept insurance and require travel—has added another layer of stress.
In October, we shared Stephanie’s fourth trip to Tulsa with you, but we never shared the results of the second biopsy. As it turns out, it was “just” atopic dermatitis.
Back in May, we shared Stephanie’s third trip to Tulsa with you. And as much as we didn’t want to have to tell you about a fourth trip, we’re happy to be able to share with you another discovery in Tulsa!
Earlier this year, we were able to help Jennifer, a 30-something woman from the US North East travel to Tulsa for her first appointment with Dr. Corey Babb. Today, Jennifer’s journey continues.
Thank You! That’s the message Jennifer wanted to send to our donors after her appointment with Dr. Corey Babb in Tulsa in June.
