I am not a cancer patient but am a high-risk patient and was referred by my GYN in Bellingham, Dr. Maureen Kelty for a total hysterectomy. There were concerns on whether a Da Vinci hysterectomy could be performed on me due to my morbid obesity and large stomach, but Dr. Veljovich and his team were able to successfully perform a Da Vinci hysterectomy and oophorectomy on me on August 10th, 2009. After years of dealing with pelvic pain, ovarian cysts, and most recently Adenomyosis, I am relieved that this pain will be behind me.
Dr. Veljovich was incredibly compassionate, caring, and informative in my quest for a pain-free life. As a larger patient my fear is that physicians will treat me like I'm some sort of freak of nature, but he made me feel comfortable and welcome in his office- the staff is incredible as well and I cannot say good enough about them. I will recommend him to anyone I know who is going through reproductive cancer issues or anyone who has high risk issues and needs a hysterectomy as well. Thank you Dr. Veljovich for everything!!
