Recommended Doctor
Michael Lee MOORE MD
Obstetrics & Gynecology - Colorado Denver

After being very frustrated by Dr's here in Washington state who could not even agree on my condition, I called and spoke with Dr. Moore's staff and arranged a phone consultation with the Dr.. I found Dr. Moore to be very caring and compassionate on the phone. I booked a flight to Denver hoping for treatment for fibroids, however after a short ultrasound I discovered by the photos taken by Dr. Moore that my diagnosis had been wrong all along and I needed a hysterectomy. He performed the LSH (LAPRASCOPIC supra-cervical) hysterectomy the next morning as an outpatient. I found him and his staff to be the most hospitable people you could ever hope to meet! I have 4 grown daughters, I would recommend him to anyone even my own girls! It has been almost 2 years now and I'm so thankful that I found him, his surgery skills and techniques are second to none. I was able to return to my former Ranching/Riding strong self in no time.

I'm 53, and had very large fibroids and hydrosalpinges (fluid- filled fallopian tubes). One fibroid was at least the size of an orange, if not larger. The hydrosalpinges were even larger -- like two large, swollen sausages. I put off having a hysterectomy for over 20 years because I dreaded the thought of invasive, open surgery, the hospitalization, and the long recovery time.

Dr. Moore specializes in Minimally Invasive Surgery -- he performed a LAPRASCOPIC supra-cervical hysterectomy which was done on an OUTPATIENT basis. Because the cervix, vagina, and pelvic floor are unaffected by the surgery, the recovery time is much, much shorter and less painful. I went home the same day as the procedure, which saved me a large insurance co-pay, and I avoided a hospital stay. Immediately after the surgery, I was up and at 'em with no trouble at all. The surgery itself took less than an hour. I have four small incisions: one navel, three below bikini level, the largest being 1/2", so in a very short time the scars will be invisible. You can drive within days of having the procedure, assuming you're not taking any kind of medication that would affect your driving. Most patients are back to work within weeks.

Prior to meeting Dr. Moore, I had had at least four different surgeons tell me that a laprascopic procedure was not possible because it was "too dangerous." Well, it wasn't. They were telling me that based on their own skills and experience. Dr. Moore has been doing these surgeries for quite a few years now and he had no difficulty at all doing the surgery laprascopically -- it's his speciality.

Dr. Moore is one of the most caring physicians I've ever met. He was very straight forward, was able to tell me whether or not he thought I was a candidate for the procedure after a short physical exam that included a vaginal ultrasound, and he was very reassuring prior to and after the procedure. His staff has been working with him as a team for many years, which is a testament to his character. The day after the surgery, he called me personally to see how I was doing and to answer any questions I had. Honestly, I can't say enough good things about Dr. Moore, and I highly recommend him and this procedure. Google Advanced Women's Health and Dr. Moore and you should get his website which explains more about the procedure and will give you contact information.

Good luck!

I went to Dr. Moore for a 2nd opinion when my regular OB/Gyn told me my fibroids were too large for being a candidate for minimally invasive hysterectomy (my uterus was the size of a 4mo. pregnancy). Dr. Moore was very up front and straight with me and let me know that while my fibroids were at the upper limits (size wise) he felt he could successfully perform the laparoscopic histerectomy, but of course there were no guarantees. I trusted him from the very beginning and liked his caring, straight up style. Not to mention his history in performing minimally invasive surgeries was very impressive.
He performed a laparascopic supracervical hysterectomy (LSH, left both ovaries intact per my request) and it was completely successful. I couldn't be any happier with how everything went and how wonderful both Dr. Moore and his staff were through the entire process. I would recommend him to ANYONE!

I went to Dr. Moore for a second opinion after I learned I had a very large uterine fibroid. He is kind, caring, to the point and a pioneer in minimally invasive gynecological surgery. It was an easy decision to trust him to do my hysterectomy and pelvic repair. In the three years since, I've had one other procedure due to monthly spotting and I see him for my annual GYN check-up. He is truly a wonderful doctor and his staff is awesome, as well.
