Robert J. Echenberg M.D.

Dr. Robert Echenberg did his undergraduate work at Brown University, medical training at Jefferson Medical College, and his residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Michigan Medical Center. He began private practice in Bethlehem, PA in the early 1970’s. Soon after board certification he began realizing that much of what he needed to know concerning women’s health had not been taught in those otherwise excellent programs.

Dr. Echenberg’s passion for patient advocacy and integrative care in women’s health continued with his creation in 2006 of one of the first privately owned medical practices specializing in assessment, diagnosis and treatment of chronic pelvic, genital and sexual pain disorders. Through his website www.TheEchenbergInstitute.com both women and men continue to reach out to him from around the world. They are all suffering from conditions related to persistent pain in the pelvic region. His expertise in developing a model of care based on the most recent evidence based protocols applying neuroscience in a bio-psychosocial non-surgical approach has lead to successful outcomes for over 2000 patients from 38 states and 17 foreign countries.
