I'm a 38-y-o female in Seattle recently diagnosed with Lynch Syndrome. Due to the high risk of female cancers and a family history of those hitting young, my PCP, genetic counselor, and ObGyn-Oncology surgeon all said get a full hysterectomy ASAP.
That ObGyn-Oncology surgeon was Amy Brockmeyer at Virginia Mason main hospital/clinic in downtown Seattle. Amy is amazing. I was very comfortable with her right from the start. She is extremely knowledgeable not only in her field but also in understanding my genetic condition, which many doctors either never heard of or only know a little about. Amy and I met twice before surgery and so far once after. Each appointment, she is very thorough and warm but still manages to be fast and direct. For an impatient person like me, that's the perfect combo! I hate doctors who rush you out before you've gotten all the info!
Amy wanted to try a low-dose HRT after my surgery, and I did not want to due to past history with hormones. I consulted an ND and came up with alternate plans, including starting out by doing nothing. Amy thought my plans were good and was very supportive of my making the decision myself.
Surgery went perfectly. It was robotic laparoscopic, and I went home the next day. I ran into Dr. Brockmeyer in the hospital early in the AM before surgery and after surgery. Both times she stopped to chat with me, which I found super nice too.
Unfortunately, Dr. B does not see patients who are not surgical candidates, but if you need a surgical OBGYN consult in Seattle, I highly recommend her!
