What part of PA? I live in the Pittsburgh area. I've tried several

doctors myself. I've found female doctors do tend to be more

understanding, at least from my experience. I once had a male doctor

tell me my fibroids and heavy periods really weren't a big deal

because it was only one week of the month and it wasn't life

threatening. Unfortunately that was 12 weeks of the year that I was

in pretty bad pain and bleeding very heavily. Anyway, I'm going to

be seeing a new doctor in a few weeks so we'll see how that goes. I

haven't really been able to find any doctors who specialize in

fibroids in PA. Good luck, hopefully someone else will have a good

recommendation.

Carol,

If you are near Philly, try Hahnemann University Hospital. I found

them with a search of the internet. I'm going to try another local doc, but

if I don't like his option either, I'll drive the hour to Philly. <A

I have heard good things about Dr. Glassner. I think he's

somewhere around Philadelphia and will be checking him out myself.

I'm not sure if he does the lap. myo. or just the abdominal but will

find out.

Syd,

This is far for you to go but I live closer to

Philadelphia and I just had a myomectomy with a doctor

who is located in Bryn Mawr, PA (about 25 minutes

outside of Phila).

His name is Dr. J. Glassner. His office

number is . I highly recommend him. He

is an infertility specialist and deals with fibroids

all of the time.

Good Luck,

Lori

Hi ,

I had an abdominal with him in November of '02 and I

highly recommend him. I do not know if he does lap.

myos. It wasn't an option with me because of the size

of my fibroid.

Let me know if you have any questions on him.

Lori,

Thanks for letting me know about Dr. Glassner. I have not ruled out

an abdominal myo. just would prefer the lap. is possible. But I'm

wondering now if the abdom. wouldn't be better since the doctor I

spoke to yesterday said it might be possible that he would only be

able to remove the larger fibroid and let the other one go. I'm not

crazy about that idea. I think I would rather just have the abdom.

done and get them all out.

I do have a few questions. How long was your recovery time? Were

they able to remove all the fibroids? How long of a hospital stay?

Also, does Dr. Glassner accept insurance? I do have out of network

benefits but it seems many of these doctors do not accept insurance

so you are responsible for the difference between the usual and

customary charges and what they decide to charge. Could be rather

expensive.

Thanks so much for your help.

I have one that has been recommended to me that I have an appointment with on

April 1st (that's the earliest I could get in with her). Her name is Helen

Salsbury and she is in Pembroke Pines. Two of her specialities are in

infertility and laproscopic surgery. My GP said she is very conservative and

will do everything she can to help save your uterus. But since I have not had

my appointment with her yet, I don't know for sure what she will say about my

fibroids.

Her phone number is .

I'm in Pittsburgh, too. I had a myomectomy in Oct 2002 (10 fibroids) done by

Dr. la Gosman at Magee. She is an RE and one of her specialties is

fibroids. Found her by calling and talking to the nurses at Magee and asking

them who was the best with fibroids. Went through several really bad docs

before I found her.

She's open to UAE as well as performing myos, but she would refer you to an

IA, of course.

Surgery was a breeze compared to my expectations and months later I feel

really great with normal periods.
