Our Medical Advisors

The IC Network’s mission is broad. We provide outstanding educational content and support for patients who are often isolated and home bound. We support and encourage the development of new therapies through the IC research and clinical trial movement. We strive to be of service to clinicians who treatment of interstitial cystitis, bladder pain syndrome, pelvic floor dysfunction and chronic pelvic pain.

Our success is due, in great part, to the IC researchers and clinicians who answer our questions, provide insight, feedback and review of our materials.
