Dr. Mehmet Erk is a knowledgeable & skilled, personable & approachable OB/GYN. He performed an LSH on March 26,2011.
Dr. Erk had recommended a hysterectomy years ago but I put it off thinking the fibroid tumors would shrink during menopause. He respected my decision and recommended I continue to have annual ultrasounds, which I did. Imagine my surprise when the tumors had nearly doubled in size within one year. That was my motivation to have the hysterectomy.
I had a GYN in DC, where I work, and her opinion was to do a radical hysterectomy because I was close enough to menopause not to need anything anymore and that I might get cancer. Well, yes, but I "might" get breast cancer too so should I preventively have a double masectomy?
I decided to come back home to consult with Dr. Erk. He gave me his undivided attention making me feel like I was his only patient. Much to my relief he recommended the laparoscopic supracervical & spent time explaining the procedure. Addtionally, he escorted me to office I needed to go to in order to set up the procedure.
Dr. Erk also has very supportive & helpful office & hospital staff, therefore any & all of my questions were answered. They are a great team!
I would also like to mention my son is in the medical field & the feedback he received when mentioning Dr. Erk was that everyone loved him & mothers recommended their daughters to him ~ now that's high praise! This was validated on the day of the surgery by all of the nurses.
All-in-all, it was a pleasureable experience if one can call a hysterectomy pleasureable! :p And, I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.
