So initially I would have given him 5 stars. Back in Feb. he did my partial hysterectomy to correct issues I had from a previous sterilization procedure. He did fantastic at making me feel comfortable, drew out pictures to illustrate what was going on. And willing to take the time to discuss things. I healed without a problem, almost no scarring. His staff was fantastic, he called himself to check on me several times. I couldn't have asked for better service or smoother healing process. Even the billing process was almost without a hitch. Truly an exceptional experience.
HOWEVER, I had repeatedly told him that I did not want my cervix removed do to wanting to still enjoy sex. After surgery I was under the impression I still had my cervix due to the multiple times telling him this. Even recommended him to a friend as she was being required to undergo a partial hysterectomy as well. Everything seemed perfect and my job transferred me to Cali.
Recently started a new relationship, and what do you know sex wasn't as great as it normally is. My friend met with Dr. Glassman based on me recommendation and because like me she too wants to keep her cervix, and when he spoke with her he told her that I did NOT have a cervix and that if the surgery was done laparoscopic they had to remove the cervix. Went to a highly rated OBGYN here in Cali, as I needed a well woman's exam. Explained all my complications I've had. When he did my check-up what do you know, I don't have a cervix. That doctor told my friend was BS it takes more effort to do the surgery laparoscopic and allow the woman to keep the cervix but he (the new doc) normally does it laparoscopic and doesn't remove the cervix.
So bottom line, he did fantastic on the surgery. But I don't appreciate him removing a body part I told him not to and that I was insistent I wanted to keep, especially after I had explained about the patronizing I experienced from other OBGYN's. Honestly now I feel violated for having a body part removed without my permission.
