Re: Myomectomy Experts-try looking here....

[Guest guest]

In your search for a myomectomy expert you may want to check out the

Society of Reproductive Surgeons at: www.reprodsurgery.org/

When you get to that site you can select the (Find a Reproductive Surgeon in

your Area)

This should give you a start it took me awhile to locate this site and I go

to see one of the doctors who is a member next week!

Hope this helps!

I went to Amazon to look for the book and I read the customer's reviews and

one of them went to one of the doctors in the book and she wasnt happy with

her. Here is the link so you guys can read it yourselves. There must be

other way to find all about a doctor and about how pleased are his/her

patients.

I saw the title at Amazon. That's why I mentioned it.

When I was researching doctors last year, I saw Dr. West's name in

last year's New York Metro edition. But when I looked in this year's

edition, I did not see his name in it.

When I consulted with Dr. West, he said he can give me names of

thousands of women for references.

I guess we can ask for references when we consult with a new doctor.

Hi Donna,

Thank God it is a small world--thanks to the internet! That way references

and word of mouth (good or bad) travels very fast.

Sorry to hear about your experience with Dr. Seigal (I believe that's

Selick's sister). Sounds like the sisters have something in common...I

wouldn't say Dr. Selick is insensity, I just think she's the direct no

nonsense type. I usually feel more comfortable with that types. Donna, did

you have surgery with Dr. Seigel? How was that experience? Anyone else have

any experience with Dr. Caryn Selick?

Thanks,

Winnie.

I would recommend Dolores Kent at Cedars. She is patient and responsive and

has sound judgment.

Hi Winnie,

Dr. Amy Siegel is definitely not my type. I saw her maybe three or

four times. The last time I saw her, she made me wait in the waiting

room for thirty minutes while she talked with a staff member. Then,

she didn't know why I was there when it was her who told me to come

in. I have since changed doctors. I investigated UAE, but I finally

had a myomectomy on 01/18/01 with Dr. Stanley West (

http://www.repmed.com ), the author of " The Hysterectomy Hoax " , at

St. 's Hospital. He was recommended by , a member here.

How many fibroids do you have, and where are they located? I was

probably at 22 weeks size. The MRI showed several fibroids, but Dr.

West removed about thirty of them.

Good luck,

Donna
