Arizona Center for Chronic Pelvic Pain
Dr. Michael Hibner is a board certified, fellowship trained surgeon who uses a transgluteal approach, as well as a laparscopic approach with the DaVinci Surgical Robot. As of March 2023, Dr. Hibner has performed close to 400 transgluteal surgeries. He sees both male and female patients and he employs a physical therapist in his private practice in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Dr. Hibner is a strong believer in conservative treatment in patients with pudendal neuralgia and pudendal nerve entrapment. Conservative treatments include physical therapy, nerve blocks, and especially Botox to pelvic floor muscles.
Dr. Hibner is using several innovative treatments that he was not able to use in his previous practice. One of them is injecting AmnioFix (which is the product of amniotic membrane cells) next to the pudendal nerve. He believes this helps with regeneration of the nerve most likely by recruiting patients’ own stem cells to the area of the injury. He estimates that 50% of patients may benefit from the treatment.
Another innovative option is to place an On-Q pain pump to the pudendal nerve using a CT scanner and dripping local anesthetic on the nerve for 2 to 3 weeks to desensitize the nerve. This pump is something that has been used after pudendal nerve decompression surgeries since 2005, but Dr. Hibner is working with the radiologist, Dr. Andrew Duarte, who has figured out how to place the same pump under a CT scanner to the pudendal nerve. So now the pump can be used without doing the surgery to see if blocking the nerve for a prolonged time will reverse the pudendal pain. From January to March of 2023, they have placed the On-Q pain pump in over 20 patients with very good results. Another option is to perform transgluteal surgery for the pudendal nerve and use AmnioFix nerve wrap which contains fetal cells for nerve regeneration as well as the On-Q pain pump for the central sensitization pain, which Dr. Hibner believes speeds up the recovery from surgery. He also performs decompression of other nerves such as obturator, ilioinguinal and other pelvic nerves.
Decompression of the obturator nerve with the DaVinci robot is very effective especially in patients who were injured by pelvic mesh. Another big part of his practice, which is not strictly pudendal neuralgia but closely related, are patients who were injured by pelvic mesh. He sees many women who underwent surgery for prolapse or incontinence using polypropylene mesh and developed severe neuropathic pain after the mesh placement. In those patients he removes the mesh completely, including the anchors, and if the pain is not relieved, later he proceeds to decompress either the pudendal nerve or the obturator nerve, or both. Dr. Hibner sees many patients with persistent genital arousal disorder (PGAD). Treatment may include clitoral nerve blocks, perineal nerve blocks, and sclerotization of engorged vessels that may travel with those nerves. He is trained in surgery to selectively sever the clitoral and perineal nerves, although he feels that selective nerve blocks may be more effective; therefore, he rarely performs surgery to sever those nerves. Dr. Hibner will be traveling to Warsaw, Poland several times a year to perform pudendal nerve decompressions surgeries with Dr. Sylwia and Piotr Marianowski.

Dr. Robert Echenberg is an OBGYN who believes strongly in integrative medicine. His program integrates crucial modalities such as specialized pelvic floor physical therapy, yoga, accupuncture, therapeutic myofascial massage, dietetics, emotional counseling, trigger point therapies, peripheral nerve blocks, and other relaxation techniques, all of which are vital in dealing with chronic pain symptoms. He works with a network of well-trained specialists in all of these fields.
Since 2001, Dr. Echenberg has developed a specialized program for all pelvic, genital and sexual pain disorders. His approach has evolved over the years and is now based on up to date neuroscience principles – looking at pelvic pain as a regional pain syndrome. It is also patient specific utilizing a bio-psychosocial model in which sufficient time is spent to gather information about all pain generators that can be diagnosed and treated fully, while also educating each patient and primary support person on how to “turn down the dial” of the entire system – central, peripheral and autonomic. He has seen patients with complex abdominal pelvic pain syndrome, who have come from at least 34 states and 14 foreign countries.
Although his work with pudendal neuralgia is significant, he also cares for many patients with neuropathies of the many other peripheral pelvic nerves including the ilioinguinal, iliohypogastric, genito-femoral, posterior and lateral femoral cutaneous nerves. He also treats Painful Bladder Syndrome/Interstitial Cystitis, Vulvodynia, Vestibulodynia, penile and scrotal pain, pain associated with IBS and Endometriosis, as well as myofascial pain throughout the anterior and posterior pelvis, rectal pain, sitting pain, and now, more and more patients with Persistent Genital Arousal Disorder (PGAD)

Dr. Skaribas is an expert at treating people who suffer from pudendal neuralgia. This neuropathic condition is very often underdiagnosed and very commonly undertreated. For diagnosis, he has several protocols in place involving diagnostic procedures such as electromyography, MRIs of the pudendal nerve to rule out entrapment, as well as diagnostic CT-guided ultrasound or fluoroscopically guided nerve blocks. Neuromodulation, including Dorsal Root Ganglion (DRG) stimulation, has shown very promising clinical outcomes and should be considered as one of the therapies of choice for this type of intractable pain syndrome.
Dr. Skaribas is double board-certified in both anesthesiology and pain medicine and is an expert in the field of neuromodulation. He has performed thousands of neuromodulation procedures, including spinal cord stimulation and dorsal root ganglion stimulation in the treatment of pudendal neuralgia, with excellent results. He is a key opinion author into the neuromodulation appropriateness consensus committee on best practices for dorsal root ganglion stimulation.
As a pioneer in several chronic pain management treatments that use the latest technology and research for optimum results, Dr. Skaribas’s goal is to provide cost effective care, promote health activities and preventive care, and to return his patients to the most functional and productive lifestyle possible.

Dr. William Yancey specializes in the treatment of pudendal neuralgia and other pain disorders of the pelvic floor and genitals. He is board certified in both anesthesiology and pain medicine. He believes in a multidisciplinary approach to the treatment of pelvic pain, which remains an underdiagnosed and often misdiagnosed condition. Given the complexity of pudendal neuralgia and other pelvic pain disorders, Dr. Yancey believes in individualized treatment plans that are tailored to the unique needs of each patient.
Dr. Yancey offers a wide range of treatments for pudendal neuralgia. They range from pelvic floor physical therapy and rehabilitation to advanced interventions including sacral nerve root blocks and pudendal nerve blocks. Dr. Yancey is an expert in all forms of neuropathic pain and has adapted techniques he developed for both common and rare types of nerve related pain in the spine, joints, and face to the unique challenges of pudendal neuralgia. He was an early adopter of dorsal root ganglion stimulation for the treatment of pudendal neuralgia and has found great success with its use in his most challenging cases.

Dr. Jason Attaman is a doctor of osteopathy in Bellevue, WA. Dr. Attaman is board certified and Anesthesiology-fellowship trained in the medical subspecialty of Pain Medicine and Interventional Pain Management. He is also residency trained and board certified in the specialty of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. He is one of only a few with such extensive qualifications in the state of Washington. He evaluates the musculoskeletal system, muscle imbalances, spasticity, and very closely interacts with and directs physical therapists. He performs image guided pudendal nerve blocks, botox injections, pulsed radiofrequency treatment of the pudendal nerve, platelet lysate hydrodissection of the pudendal nerve, platelet rich plasma treatment of the sacrotuberous and sacrospinous ligaments, cryoablation of the pudendal nerve using the EpiMed PainBlocker system, pulsed radiofrequency treatment of the S2-S4 dorsal root ganglia (DRG), Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) at the conus medullaris, dorsal root ganglion stimulation with the Abbott DRG system, nerve root stimulation at S2-S4, ganglion impar blocks, superior and inferior hypogastric plexus blocks, obturator internus blocks and botox, S2-S4 transforaminal epidural steroid injections, caudal epidural steroid injections, dorsal penile nerve blocks, and clitoral nerve blocks. He treats all forms of chronic pain but has a special interest in pudendal neuralgia.
All of his procedures are image guided with ultrasound or x-ray. To ensure safety and efficacy, pudendal nerve blocks are done trans-gluteally, which means the needle is placed on the outer buttock and driven under image guidance to the pudendal nerve deep in the pelvis.
