Re: Thank you and a question

[Guest guest]

I like my docs here in NJ - there is Dr West in NYC; perhaps he can refer

you? His website is www.repmed.com. You can email him from the site or call

him . It's really important to find someone skillful who has

experience removing fibroids & preserving fertility (someone respectful

toward your feelings & wishes there) & of course with whom you'll be

comfortable working with!

Good luck!

Thank you all, armed with the invaluable information I got here from

you all I called the surgeon back and asked him all my questions

with regards to rupturing, why he thought it ws best to remove it,

what my chances are of having a successful pregnancy in either case

and after chewing over his thoughts I am seriously considering the

myo. Honestly though I would like to maybe talk to another surgeon,

as I e-mailed Dr who gave me some insight as to what I should be

looking for in a surgeon and I would like to talk to someone else, as

the first surgeon spoke with...well I am just not comfortable with

him. Anyone give me any ideas on how to find another Dr, anywhere I

can go to find someone who does this all the time...I live in

Southwest Virginia. Any help here would be greatly

appreciated...thanks ever so much again...for empowering me.

To ,

I had a myomectomy 5 weeks ago by a surgeon just outside Philadelphia, Pa.

( Glassner, M.D.). He removed two fibroids, one large one and a small

one, and I am doing fine. He has special interest and expertise in doing

myomectomies. He has performed over 200. I did not have to have a

transfusion. My incision is only about 4 in. long and it has healed very

quickly. I would be happy to get you his phone number and I can also send

you the website for his Fertility Clinic in Bryn Mawr, Pa. He has expertise

in preserving the uterus and fertility. The nurse at the hospital told me

women come from as far as California to have him do their myomectomies. If

you're willing to travel, I think it's worth it to have a competent and

experienced surgeon. He answered all my questions and was very

compassionate. I was only in the hospital 2 days. The nurses said his

patients all heal very quickly. He will take good care of you and help you

get pregnant again. I think he's one of the best surgeons for myomectomies

and fertility problems. I'll send you his website. Maybe you could talk to

him over the phone and see how you like him. Let me know if you have any

questions.

Good luck,

Thank you so much for the information, if you could please go ahead

and send me the web site I will take a look at it. I would prefer

someone a bit closer, but if I can't find anyone then I will

seriously consider travelling. Thank you again.

Wish I had someone closer, but my surgeon for my myomectomy (also an expert

on hysteroscopy for diagnosis and surgery) was Marlow, MD, in

Washington DC.

You may also want to check Duke Medical Center. You can probably do a

search on the archives for info on Duke and perhaps specific doctors.

Again, not particularly close to you, but within driving distance.

, I just caught this mention of Winston-Salem, NC in your

email. I've been just quickly scanning mail this week and not paying

real close attention to this list...were you looking for a doctor in

these areas? I have a good GYN I can recommend in Winston-Salem if

that's what you're trying to track down...if not, pardon me for

jumping in.

Thanks again. I found a few good links for Dr referrals, so I am

hoping that I can find someone closer...thanks again for all your

help.

thanks for jumping in.

I am looking for someone who can do a myomectomy. I already

spoke with one Dr, but I don't feel really comfortable with him, so I

am looking for someone else, but close to home. Thanks for skimming

through and picking up on that though.

, I had a myomectomy done July 26th by Dr. Linn Parsons here

in Winston-Salem. She's located on the Southwest side of

town...don't know if you're familiar with W-S, but she's off

Stratford Road near Hanes Mall. She used to be in practice with the

Wake Forest School of Medicine, but now is in practice with another

GYN and two internists. She's still affiliated with WFU and can

operate at either of the hospitals here.

I was very pleased with the way she treated me throughout the

diagnosis and decision-making process. My surgery went very

smoothly, and I am *so* glad I had it. My main fibroid symptom was

extremely heavy bleeding and that is all taken care of now. What a

relief!

Her phone number is in case you'd like to contact her.

Email me if you have any specific questions about her that I can help

you with.

Hope this helps,
