My review is based on my personal experience. While I prefer to write positive reviews to highlight places that go above and beyond for their clients, I feel it's important to share when a business falls short of expectations as well. Unfortunately, my experience with Pelvic Sanity was disappointing. I had scheduled an appointment for a Monday morning but became ill over the weekend. On Sunday evening, I received notice that my primary care doctor had rescheduled me for Monday morning, conflicting with my appointment at Pelvic Sanity. Since the office was closed, I immediately sent them an email to explain the situation and request a reschedule. Given my illness, it was fortunate that I was able to see my doctor, as I would have risked spreading my illness to others, especially with many women and babies in the waiting area. However, Pelvic Sanity did not share this concern. Instead, I received an email stating I would be charged a $114 late cancellation fee, with no flexibility or understanding regarding the situation. While I understand the need for cancellation policies, I was disappointed by the lack of compassion for my circumstances. Their response seemed to prioritize the fee over patient well-being, which was particularly troubling given their claims of patient care. This experience, unfortunately, wasn't an isolated issue. When I first scheduled my appointment, I was led to believe I would be seeing an expert doctor, but upon researching the provider, I discovered she had only recently graduated and was not a doctor as I was originally told. This was misleading, and while I understand everyone has to start somewhere, I felt it was dishonest to present her as an experienced expert. After my initial appointment, I was pressured into booking several appointments in advance, despite my request not to do so due to scheduling uncertainties. This felt pushy and further diminished my trust in the practice. I ultimately canceled all future appointments and won't be returning. I did attempt to contact the owner to discuss my concerns but have yet to receive a response. It seems that, in this case, the $114 cancellation fee was valued more than my health and overall experience. This was a disappointing and frustrating situation, and I cannot recommend Pelvic Sanity based on my experience. read more

Yes, this is an easy five star for me. I've dealt with a multitude of doctors, PT clinics, natural doctors - you name it - over these last five years and Pelvic Sanity sits in a special group at the top for me. As one of my neurologists admitted to me, the pelvis is not a place of focus in the professional development of most doctors (particularly neurologists, spine doctors, and even urologists who I dealt with). Because of this, it was hard to find a doctor who knew how to help with my rare pelvic condition. Dr. Nicole and her husband Jesse were the first I had encountered who were quickly and easily able to help me understand what was going on with my body, and at the same time offer encouragement that I could actually get better! So many times, I found that Dr. Nicole's staff knew more about treating my condition than the doctors did. No joke! They are always self-educating and adjusting to what is best. They probably won't say this, but Dr. Nicole and Jesse had the top selling research book of urology on amazon for some time. They know their stuff! I've been going to the clinic off and on for the last few years now (as needed), and have worked with a few of their clinicians, all of whom were well-informed, professional, equipped, and ENCOURAGING. So many doctors I visited were like robots, just going through the motions, but Dr. Nicole's staff lifts you up, even their secretaries. They actually listen to you. For me, they customized what I was doing to recover, and modified it as I got better. So many other places I felt like I was getting pegged into a larger group, doing a PT plan just because they didn't really know what to do with me... Lastly, Ultimately, I feel safe there, especially when you're talking about things you might not feel comfortable to share with family. Whatever you have regarding the pelvis, don't be ashamed! You'd be surprised how many of us struggle with pelvic stuff, even men (I am a man!). Go to pelvic sanity and see what I'm talking about. I believe they do phone consultations prior if you want to throw out some early questions. These guys have played a pivotal, indispensable role for my physical and psychological recovery. Thank you pelvic sanity staff! read more

Working with Dr. Faith at Pelvic Sanity has been nothing short of life-changing. I originally came in seeking help with pelvic floor dysfunction, but what I received was so much more than just physical therapy. Dr. Faith is not only a skilled and compassionate physical therapist -- she became a true mental and emotional healer for me as well. She approaches healing with a depth of knowledge that goes far beyond textbook physical therapy. She performed both internal and external pelvic floor work with professionalism, care, and empathy. She also incorporated cupping into our sessions, which brought an entirely new level of relief and healing that I didn't even realize I needed. What sets Dr. Faith apart is her truly holistic approach. Her knowledge is vast -- she understands not just the physical side of things, but also the emotional and lifestyle factors that can affect healing. She took the time to understand my whole story, offered insights that shifted my mindset, and referred me to other incredible resources when she knew something outside her scope could help. Every session felt safe, empowering, and deeply healing. Dr. Faith helped me reconnect with my body, release long-held tension, and move forward not just physically, but emotionally too. I can confidently say she has had a profound impact on my life, and I'm endlessly grateful for her support. If you're searching for someone who truly gets it -- someone who treats the whole person, not just the symptoms -- Dr. Faith is the one. She's a rare and invaluable gem in the world of pelvic health. read more

I cannot say enough about Pelvic Sanity: they've given me hope for a pain free life again. One year ago I was finishing a three-month therapy stent with a well respected physical therapist in orange county. There came a point where he told me he just couldn't help me; he couldn't figure out what was wrong with me. I was devastated as I was living with chronic pain and getting no real answers after countless attempts with various forms of therapy. He researched pelvic therapists and handed me Pelvic Sanity's information. He told me in his research this looked like the best doctor for me and referenced Nicole's education, research history and experience. After years of unfounded/unresolved solutions to my increasing low back pain, Nicole was able to identify my problem and work with me to find a permanent recovery program. I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel; it's literally been life changing. With Pelvic Sanity's help, I am slowly getting my life back. Thank you Nicole!!! The atmosphere there is great too. It's a clean, fresh, private space; very comfortable with easy access and parking. Jessie is usually at the front desk, always pleasant, smiling and fun to talk to. I'm so grateful to have found Pelvic Sanity. read more

I tried a number of things to find a solution to my lifelong bladder issues including various medications and natural supplements, acupuncture, and dramatically changing my diet but nothing had any impact whatsoever until I found Pelvic Sanity. I was very skeptical about it but I stuck it out for 5 months, following their instructions very carefully, and I am now completely cured without any prescriptions or invasive procedures. I can't believe it! Nicole and her staff were always very professional and pleasant it shows that they really care a great deal about their patients. I can't recommend PV enough to anyone with an overactive bladder, IC, prostatitis, or any other kind of pelvic floor disorder. read more

Pelvic Sanity is an amazing place to find resources, support and treatment for chronic pain to say the least .Nicole treated me after my miscarriage triggered some underlying pelvic and muscular spasms. My pain was horrible, but Nicole not only gave me the emotional support I needed, she treated me and gave me the medical resources to find the right treatment combination . Today I am pain free 90 percent of the time . She is very personable and is so genuine. I truly recommend this place . I am living proof!!!! read more

I am officially HEALED. After 12 years of chronic pain, Dr. Sara Vanstraten finally identified the true cause and treated it at the root. I previously worked with three other pelvic PT offices, and none took a true whole body approach the way she did. Sara is thoughtful, kind, deeply knowledgeable, and truly a delight to see each week. Because of her care and the team at Pelvic Sanity, I finally feel confident that this pain is gone for good. I am forever grateful. read more
