How can I contact the Dr. that performed the surgery? I, too have gone through every strategy mentioned here. Not a single Dr. has had ever heard of AWP or ACNES. A Mayo Dr. named Seth Sweetser wrote a research paper on AWP caused by ACNES. In it he states that if trigger point injections do not adequately reduce the pain level surgery is the best option.

Hello @saolson and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I'd like to see if I can help with regard to your question on contacting the doctor that performed that surgery. Which doctor are you interested in contacting?

The physician that performed a Robotic Laparoscopic Neurectamy on me on 9/2/21 is Dr. Thomas Gillespie of St Josephs Hospital in Phoenix. He cut 3 entrapped nerves. Went home same day. Except for slight soreness from the cutting I am ACNES free after suffering for way too long. Thank God for Dr. Gillespie and his staff.

Almost all doctors tell you that surgery is next step but none of them actually do the surgery. Dr Gillespie of St Joes in Phoenix performs robotic laparoscopic surgery on ACNES. He is amazing! I am cured 😃

Dr Gillespie @St Joe’s in Phoenix performed Robotic Laparoscopic surgery on 3 of my entrapped nerves (ACNES) 10 days ago. Went home same day. Little sore but CURED and back to my old self. Nothing short of a miracle. Thank God for Dr Gillespie!!
