I just had a hysterectomy. My regular doctor referred me to Dr. Vogel for the procedure. Friends also gave me recommendations and encouraged me to get a couple of opinions before deciding on my surgeon. One visit with Dr. Vogel and I knew I didn't need to look further. She was focused on me and my situation, explained my options thoroughly, listened to my desires for the outcome, and was genuinely compassionate, friendly and funny. A kinda-scary visit was a pleasure!
Both my pre-op and post-op appointments with her were thorough and candid. I had a 50/50 chance of having the hysterectomy either laparoscopically or the traditional way due to a large fibroid. Dr. Vogel was really committed to do all she could to do it laparoscopically, and she did! Thanks to her and her team that day, I am recovered quite rapidly and am very thankful for an excellent outcome. I would recommend Dr. Vogel to any of my friends who are facing a similar situation.
(One side note: I was able to recover in birthing center of San Ramon Regional where Dr. Vogel knows all the nurses and they all know her. HIGH PRAISE for her from EVERY nurse who cared for me. Now THAT'S saying something!)
