Dr. Pesch is one of the most compassionate, experienced and wonderful physicians I have ever met. I had the recent pleasure of seeking his expertise for a second opinion concerning potential hysterectomy. Dr. Pesch recommended a pelvic laparoscopy and performed a thorough diagnosis, and subsequently diagnosed endometriosis. This was significant because he was the first OB GYN whom I encountered who was willing to take the time and interest to ensure we possessed an accurate diagnosis before proceeding to treatment. Furthermore, he recommended medical management prior to hysterectomy, which is very important as many doctors are too hasty in their decision to recommend surgery prior to other alternatives. Ultimately, hysterectomy was my decision, and Dr. Pesch supported my choice wholeheartedly after we had a lengthy discussion about the pros and cons of surgery, which he explained in great detail.
Dr. Pesch performed a robotic-assisted hysterectomy (da Vinci method) on me on 3/5/09, and the surgery went off without a hitch. I was kept in the hospital overnight merely for observation, and one week post-surgery I feel absolutely terrific! Not only is Dr. Pesch a consummate professional and very approachable and down-to-earth, but his entire staff (especially his nurses) are phenomenal. It is no wonder he serves as Medical Director for the OB GYN Residency Program at Advocate Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge, IL. I had the wonderful opportunity of meeting two of these residents pre- and post-surgery. They were absolutely fabulous and also immensely helpful and comforting, and my entire hysterectomy experience was, all things considered, delightful.
In short, I consider myself blessed and very fortunate to be Dr. Pesch's patient, and would recommend him to anyone!
