As a surgeon who specializes in reproductive medicine, my first and best advice is to seek a second opinion. A second opinion is easy to obtain, and you deserve it before committing to surgery. Fairly often, I see patients who come in believing they require surgery, and leave with a different plan. If surgery is confirmed, here are a few reasons you might consider coming to NYU to have me perform your surgery:

• I am conservative about recommending surgery. In fact, I recommend surgeryto a very small percentage of my patients.

• I am a fertility specialist. I have a woman’s reproductive future in mind when I’m performing her operation.

• I’ve received specialized training in reproductive surgery through my fellowship, and I’m a member of the Society of Reproductive Surgeons.

• Reproductive surgery (hysteroscopy, laparoscopy, myomectomy) is exclusively what I do. Experience counts in the operating room, and I’ve successfully performed hundreds of these procedures.

• I operate in New York University hospital, a world-famous organization known for superb patient care.

As I’ve stressed before, I strive to take care of
my patients with compassion and comfort.
