Our Approach to Pelvic Care

Education
During consultations, patients are guided through every step of the evaluation and treatment process. We also provide educational resources to help individuals learn more about pelvic venous disease, uterine fibroids, and minimally invasive embolization treatments. This knowledge helps patients participate confidently in decisions about their care.

Communication
We also coordinate with referring physicians and other healthcare providers when appropriate to help ensure a seamless and consistent treatment experience.

Continuity of Care
Follow-up visits allow our physicians to monitor progress, evaluate symptom improvement, and ensure that each patient’s treatment plan continues to support their long-term pelvic health.
Our Mission to Relieve Pelvic Pain
By combining modern medical technology with compassionate patient support, our team aims to deliver treatment that is both effective and patient-focused. Through personalized care plans, clear communication, and specialized vascular expertise, we strive to improve comfort, restore confidence, and enhance quality of life for the individuals we serve.

Our Pelvic Pain Care Facility

California Pelvic Pain Institute operates from a modern outpatient treatment center in Irvine, CA, alongside its sister institutes Pedes Vascular Institute, CA Vein Institute, CA Hemorrhoid Institute, and CA Men’s Health Institute.
