My procedure was a LAV hysterectomy. After months of intense pain, at least three other doctors, and a nurse practitioner (who was wonderful, but limited), I was introduced to Dr. Rowland. I was already a bit jaded by my previous medical experiences, but was immediately impressed with Dr. Rowland. She actually listened to me and took my symptoms seriously. She was extremely easy to talk to, and readily answered my questions. I was not pressured in any way toward surgery. In fact, in the beginning, she recommended a more conservative treatment. However, when that did not help, I went back to her and we decided together that surgery was the best solution. And, when I was freaking out a little prior to surgery she responded with direct, clear answers and reassurance. I went into the surgery, with complete confidence in Dr. Rowland as my doctor and her skill as a surgeon. She came around the day after surgery and once again answered my questions and I was immediately put at ease.
This recommendation is for Dr. Rowland specifically, but all the doctors and staff I encountered at this practice have been easy to contact (that's big) and nothing but helpful and reassuring.
I will return for a post-op meeting with Dr. Rowland soon, and I expect to receive the same thorough care throughout my recovery as I have during the diagnosis and surgery.
