Cathy L Dahl, DO (primary specialty-OBGYN; subspecialty Urodynamics) performed DaVinci robotic-assisted supracervical hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and placement of a urethral sling on me in April 2010. Dr. Dahl was reportedly one of the first surgeons trained to use this new DaVinci robotic surgery and has been doing it about 4 years. Dr. Dahl has a very busy practice, and I was a releatively new patient, yet she gave me her full attention, listened to my questions and concerns, and answered and addressed them. Dr. Dahl is creative and actually tailored the way she performed the surgery to address my concerns. I felt Dr. Dahl was very professional, experienced, friendly, and had a healthy sense of humor. It would be helpful to have her standard pre-op and post-op instructions and suggestions to patients in writing (leaflets or handouts), but you can overcome that by taking pen and paper. I also felt very comfortable with her friendly nurses and staff. I highly recommend Cathy L Dahl, DO. and plan to continue seeing her for my OBGYN care.
[If you are considering hysterectomy and haven't heard of the DaVinci robotic surgery, you really should check it out before having open surgery. You can google "DaVinci hysterectomy" and find their website, and enter this again in the DaVinci website search-box and learn about it, and also watch an actual narrated video of a DaVinci hysterectomy on the website (1 hour).]
