Recommended Doctor
Ronald Keith POTKUL MD
Oncology (Cancer) - Illinois Maywood

Experienced, professional and compassionate. Those three words best describe Dr. Potkul. I am so thankful that my doctor recommended him when I found out I had uterine cancer. Dr. Potkul performed a DiVinchi robotic hysterectomy and I am feeling 100% normal after two weeks!! I had little pain and very quick healing. The cancer did not spread, so no chemo and radiation is necessary.
He is an amazing doctor and a compassionate person.

I was sent to Dr. Potkul by my local doctor. He felt Dr. Potkul could perform a hysterectomy using a robot, making removing my cancer less invasive and easier for me to recover. I could never say enough good things about Dr. Potkul, his nurses and office staff. They are all very kind, caring and do everything they can to make you comfortable. They all support you emotionally and encourage you. Making an appointment was very easy, my surgery was scheduled at a time that was best for me. The hospital staff at Loyola were also wonderful. I was back to work in two weeks and full time within three weeks. I highly recommed Dr. Potkul, his staff and Loyola.

During November of 2006 I was referred to Dr. Potkul. He is an OB/GYN who specializes in gynecology/oncology. When I did research on him I found out that he is one of the top 32 doctors at Loyola Medical Center. In January of 2007 I had a complete hysterectomy. I was a little leery because I am over weight and I read about all kinds of horror stories about staples/stitches coming out. Women having trouble with their bladder or bowels. Everything is functioning exactly like it was before the surgery. Since I am heavy the process is long. I am healing from the inside out. My inside in completely healed. My external scar soon will be.

Dr. Potkul is an OB/GYN who specializes in gynecologic oncology. I was referred to him after being diagnosed with endometrial cancer. I found his professional yet compassionate demeanor to be very comforting during the scary days of my illness. Throughout my treatment and subsequent surgery, he has been reassuring and attentive. He does not talk "over my head" -- he explains things in ways I can understand and takes the time to listen to my questions and concerns. I feel blessed to be treated by such a kind and caring doctor.
