Richard Grey HANLEY MD
Obstetrics & Gynecology - Colorado Montrose

After my son was born 10 years ago, I began experiencing very heavy, painful periods lasting anywhere form 9 to 11 days. They were usually accompanined by low back pain, severe cramping and limited my activities for almost half of the month. My GP had only treated this problem with oral medication, however, the problem continued to worsen over the years. I sought the help of Dr. Hanley after several referrals from family and friends. Right from the start, his office staff was very friendly and helpful, and he was able to get me in right on time (assuring me my time was as valuable as his, ver important in my book). He listened to my problems, and surprising refreshing gave me several options and then asked me which on eI would like to go with, even telling me to take my time to research all the options he had given me and get back to him when I was ready. We decided to go with an Endometrial Ablation, since I was only 29 and I wasn't quite sure about Hysterectomy. The surgery went very well, however, wasn't a sucess, which Dr. Hanley was very disappointed about and wanted to correct right away. He did an ultrasound and saw that my endometriosis had returned and I had some fibriods that had ruptured causing me to bleed daily. He immediatley scheduled me for a partial hysterectomy on August 28th 2006. The surgery was a great sucess. I was home the following day, and amazingly back to work in 2 weeks. I feel better than I have in years and I have my wonderful, funny, gentle, doctor who involves me in my treatment options to thank. I recommend him to all the females in my life.
