PATIENT REVIEWS

Dr. Margo has been such a valuable member of my healthcare team. I came into her clinic with a referral for pelvic pt from my GP after experiencing years of various pelvic floor dysfunction symptoms that were not previously identified or diagnosed. I had a normal amount of anticipatory anxiety about what to expect before my first appointment, but her confident knowledge and compassionate presence were supportive and helpful in making my initial evaluation feel comfortable and safe both physically and emotionally. It was a validating experience to review medical history symptoms and have her attention, understanding and support. I also appreciated that during this process, she was willing to discuss and provide research on different possible conditions based on my mysterious collection symptoms to have more informed conversations with my doctor. We identified goals to work toward and a manageable plan for me to continue at home outside of regular therapy sessions. Dr Margo has an extensive network of various local healthcare practitioners for referrals and collaborative treatment plans including western medicine and alternative healthcare providers which was also helpful in moving toward a diagnosis and finding relief from digestive symptoms and pain management. She is a strong and effective communicator and advocate for her patients with physicians offices. Approximately, 5 months into pelvic pt treatment, my gynecologist diagnosed me with stage 4 endometriosis. Dr. Margo helped me process the diagnosis and continued to be supportive, and open to many discussions on how to care for my chronic inflammatory condition while also recovering from excision surgery. Her passion for teaching clients how to care for themselves is demonstrated in the heartfelt way she cares for her patients. With my diagnosis, pelvic floor physical therapy would have eventually been a part of my journey, but I am forever grateful that Dr. Margo was my intro to pelvic PT, such an important and personal experience. ⁃ Melanie G.
