I found Dr. Feder at the last minute due to passing out in public because of severe anemia that was caused by excessive bleeding because of the various uterine fibroids I had. Dr. Feder actually talked and listened to me instead of telling me what I need to do. She suggested alternatives to a hysterectomy and when I was adamant about having the fibroids removed after living with it since I was diagnosed in 1998, Dr. Feder explained exactly what will be done (I had a TAH and right fallopian tube removed), how she will procede and best of all, comforted me. She took my frantic calls pre and post-op. She is an intelligent, kind, understanding and friendly person and doctor. She was always cheerful but serious and very honest. She never sugar coated anything, yet she was tactful. She also did not make me feel self conscious about my body (I'm very overweight) like some doctors make overweight women feel. I don't think my surgery and post-op experience would have been as good if I had had another OB/GYN. Also, Dr. Feder's office staff and her co-workers who worked with her for my surgery were superb. I cannot thank her enough for giving my life back!
Sincerely, Dorothy C. Lewis
