Client Stories

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.

Jennifer’s story begins in 2019, when she started having unexplained symptoms. As a healthy 28 year old, Jennifer enjoyed life.

How long does it take to diagnosis a complex gynecologic issue? This is a question that our founder, Stephanie has been asking herself almost daily for the last thirteen years, almost to the day. Well, we’re pleased to tell you that she finally has an answer!

About a month ago, we shared that our founder, Stephanie, would be headed back to Tulsa for her third trip. Now it’s time for an update on how the trip went. Pack your suitcase, and come along!

We’ve been sharing the journey that our founder, Stephanie, has been on. She’s been looking for answers for more than a decade, but she’s made more progress toward answers in the last 16 months than in the previous 10 years combined, thanks to Dr. Corey Babb! She’s seen him for nerve blocks, pelvic floor Botox, multiple virtual appointments, and now she’s returning to Tulsa for a biopsy!

Dr. Corey Babb made a video recently answering a question about vaginismus & pelvic exams. While he appears to address & instruct providers in the first part of the video, he offers some hope for patients in the latter part of the video. At the end, he offers a mic drop: Patients have the right to say,”No, I’m not going to have an exam today.”

After her trip to Tulsa in October, Stephanie met with Dr. Babb for her virtual post-op. During that appointment, Dr. Babb asked her to have a local gynecologist run a test for him. Stephanie scheduled an appointment for December 11th with a local OBGYN who was recommended by her primary care doctor. However, her symptoms got worse over Thanksgiving week, and she ended up at Urgent Care on Black Friday. You may not know this, but urgent care facilities, as well as emergency rooms, are notorious in the chronic pain world for not helping, and gaslighting patients.
