I hear she's one of the best.
Good News! The great ProstaQ is BACK at last! You must try it.

She serves as a consultant to the Stanford group, so she must be VERY good. Check out this interview with her:

This is not Medical advice - Consult your Doctor!

Age:39. Age at onset:31. Symptoms prior to treatment: Golf ball in rectum, severe urinary frequency (2-3x/hr; 5-10x/night); weak stream; painful ejaculation; coccygeal pain; tip of penis pain; general pelvic pain on left; testicular pain; supra-pubic pain. Current | Symptoms: Urinary frequency 1x every 2-3 hrs and 1-2 x a night; mild pelvic pain on left hand side (all symptoms still improving!)
Helped by: Trigger point release; avoiding exercise; pelvic floor relaxation; Neurontin decreased bladder sensitivity somewhat. Worsened by: Exercise; frequent ejaculation; ibuprofen irritates bladder. Made no difference: Diet; biofeedback; quercetin; Steroid anti-inflammatories; Elavil.

****UPDATE*** I am now able to sit again at work all day, and can perform moderate aerobic exersise again for the first time in 8 years!!!

I have no experience myself, but I believe SHE is the one who taught Dr. Wise about trigger points --- possibly making her the Godmother of trigger point in the prostate/pudendal/IC worlds. I also get the impression she tries to stay on the leading edge -- comparing notes with trigger point people in France, for example.
