Recommended Doctor
Peter Michael VOSS MD
Obstetrics & Gynecology - Indiana Muncie

He took his time with me, he made me feel comfortable even though I came in nervous. He was completely through, he covered all of my options.

Referred to "Dr. Pete" as the 'best in town' for my hysterectomy. He was very thorough in his consultation, not hurried and explained everything like he was teaching a detailed course in reproduction. He was friendly, courteous, and had a great smile that put you at ease and allowed for all kinds of questions.

He listened to my concerns, answered all my questions, ran the gamut of hormone test for a baseline in preparations of potentially removing both ovaries if needed (or requested). Referred to his primary surgical nurse Joanne as 'The Boss.' She turns out to be extremely competent and caring too.

Pre-surgical visit was again very thorough and covered any additional questions and concerns - but not in a rush. Joanne covered the details of where to go and when and the step-by-step prep. She also answered any questions I might have had. I had been told that others in his practice did not have a good hand when it came to surgery and their stitches (which I did not mention to Dr. Pete), therefore when I insisted that if he could not perform the surgery I wanted to reschedule rather that have anyone else 'step-in or cover' for him, he did not have a problem with it and it was so noted on my surgical forms.

Post-op (Hospital) 'Dr. Pete' visited each day to check on my status and to determined my release from the hospital. Once home, Joanne called the day after to check on my progress.

Post-op (Home) When I had nausea and concerns regarding the sutures, I called and 'Dr. Pete' called in a script for Phenergan and arranged for me to have an appointment within 24 hrs to check my sutures and incision for signs of herniation.

He was a bit more optimistic about rate of recovery and stages of activities than has actually occurred, but then again, everybody's body is different and heals at its own pace. I am hoping that he was not overly optimistic regarding the time period to adjust to HRT (6 mo) as I want hormone-related fatigue and migraines to subside sooner rather than later, having been a long-term migraine sufferer who had finally gained some semblance of control prior to the surgery.

Overall, I would not recommend anyone else in Muncie, IN, as their OB/GYN surgeon.
