Hysterectomy

"My new doctor, who had been referred to me by a friend, discussed with me in great detail the da Vinci surgery and my options for my advanced condition of endometriosis in great detail. I left his office in peace. He told me this would be the easiest surgery ever and he was so right. I highly recommend this procedure and my surgeon, Dr. Brian Drake. Thank you, technology!!!"

Ellen
LOCATION:
Midlothian, Virginia
AGE:
51
PROCEDURE:
Hysterectomy

"I would recommend the da Vinci surgery for anyone preparing to have a hysterectomy. I have shared the experiences of several friends who also had hysterectomies, and witnessing their recoveries first-hand allowed me to know that a [traditional] hysterectomy would be a harrowing and painful six to eight week ordeal to say the least. However, their experiences were TOTALLY different from mine, as they did not have the da Vinci surgery."

Lisa
LOCATION:
Spring, Texas
AGE:
43
PROCEDURE:
Hysterectomy

"Dr. Eads explained the risks and expected outcome [of da Vinci Surgery], and I could not imagine why this didn't happen years ago for me. It was an easy, yet serious, decision due to the fact that it is surgery; however, the benifits would be no more pain, no excessive bleeding and no urinary difficulties! Recovery was even better than I could possibly imagine."

PATIENT NAME:
Cheryl
LOCATION:
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
AGE:
62
PROCEDURE:
Hysterectomy

"The robotic-assisted hysterectomy sounded kind of scary at first, but after much reading and also reviewing other stories by people like myself, it started to sound right for me. I'm so glad I had it done! After five weeks, I'm amazed at how well I've felt throughout the recovery period. Many of my friends had the abdominal hysterectomies in years past, and were very uncomfortable for weeks. I'm so happy I made the decision to do this [da Vinci Hysterectomy] procedure. I'm sorry no one suggested it a lot sooner!!"

Hysterectomy

"The da Vinci surgery and Dr. Verhoest changed my life. I am still amazed at how easy the whole procedure is. I am so delighted to be active again, without the heavy burden of pain and bleeding.

Tanya Garvoille
LOCATION:
Janesville, Wisconsin
AGE:
35
PROCEDURE:
Hysterectomy

"I would highly recommend this procedure to other women who are considering their surgical options for a hysterectomy. My surgeon, Dr. Neuman, told me I would have quicker recovery and down-time having the da Vinci procedure, but I was truly amazed at how quickly I healed and recovered. I actually have a friend who was considering her options at the same time as I was and opted out of the da Vinci procedure. She ended up choosing laparoscopic surgery for her hysterectomy, and she had a great deal of pain and was out of work for six weeks."
