Stephen Edward THORN MD
Obstetrics & Gynecology - Minnesota Albert Lea

I became a patient of Dr. Thorn's after trying to become pregnant unsuccessfully on our own for two years. I became pregnant after a year of infertility. Dr. Thorn was a godsent. No one knows what it is like to go through infertilty treatment unless you have gone through it yourself. Dr. Thorn and his staff is the most supportive team that you could ever have on your side. Without him and his encouragement I probably would have given up long before becoming pregnant. But when he says it will work, he means it. I am now under treatment again after finding out last year that I had PSOS. After surgery this February and am now going through infertilty for the second time. I would, and do, refer everyone I know to Dr. Thorn.

A friend of mine referred me to this doctor and I was able to make an appointment and see him within a couple of months. I had suspicions that I have endometriosis and I was not getting pregnant when I had never had difficulty before. I went to my appt arrmed wiht all kinds of research ready to do battle to get him to listen. I had been reading so many horror stories of women getting the run-around with all kinds of unnecessary procedures and medications. Dr. Thorn came in the room and asked me what was the matter. I gave him a brief rundown speech that I had memorized and he said "Well, we both know the only way to know whats going on is to get inside and take a look so we better schedule you for surgery." I was stunned! No run-around, nothing. I was having laproscopic surgery within a few weeks and got my diagnosis of endo and Polycystic ovary syndrome. He excise the endo he could see, drilled and drained my ovaries, flushed my tubes out, did a D&C and as a result within 3 months I was pregnant. With no medication !!! Dr. THorn was wonderful during my pregnancy and delivery. After having my last child I decided on a hysterectomy and when I called to talk to him he was unavailable and i left a message. He, himself called me at home that evening to talk. He was going to be gone for a fews days and didnt' want to leave without everything and everyone taken care of. I can't tell you how that made me feel.
