New Zealand Health Practitioners

The following is a list of health practitioners that have been recommended by women with vulvodynia.  We want to stress that each description is simply an individual women's personal experience. The aim of this page is to offer women a guide to Doctors that are sympathetic to the needs of vulvodynia sufferers and who are knowledgeable on the topic or who are at least open to learning more.

We would like this page to be as extensive as possible.   If you have seen a health practitioner that you would like to recommend to others please
email us with their details (name, address, phone number, a brief description and any other details eg. cost).  Thank you!
