women’s hernia doctors in Portland OR?
Hi all,
Does anyone know any doctors in Portland OR knowledgeable about women’s hernias? Im in the Kaiser system and the docs I’ve seen there seem lost on the subject.
Thanks!

I have encountered doctors who are lost on the subject of women with hernia, as well. One doctor told me there was no way I had a hernia and was 90% sure a hysterectomy would take care of my pain. Had the hysterectomy which didn’t help at all and had a femoral hernia causing lots of pain. Go figure! Thanks to Dr. Towfigh for trying to educate other physicians about occult hernias and hernias in women. You need to see a hernia specialist for sure!

Hi Tina, If i was in your place the only doctor i would consider drtowfigh founder of this forum. Regardless of traveling and cost.. It cost me some money to travel but doctor of my choice fix my problem and i could get alone with my life and NOT be hedicapeted for life or constantly thinking about pain or something… Like so many people do.
Hernia surgery is truly miner if you do correctly …but can become life lasting problem no one wants to have .
My experience and knowing what recovery looks like ,talking to others, telling me when comes to hernia with hi level of recurrence /complications and pain for life …You have the only one chance to do it correctly ONE …Or do you think if something will go wrong, someone else will fix it for you ..think again
Find the excellent doctor with proven result who does excellent job in no mesh surgery is extremely difficult ..just a very few and we listing them on this forum …you probably know that even US congressmen was traveling to Canada to do surgery there..Google it
I like to say the truth is it is! If i were you i would do surgery with Dr. Towfigh yesterday

OHSU would be a likely source. Dr. Martindale and Dr. Orenstein are there and both are students of hernias. Plus it seems like there is a link to Kaiser.
