Patrick Edward POZZI MD
Obstetrics & Gynecology - Illinois Elk Grove Village

I had an intramural uterine fibroid tumor, but it wasn't a fibroid tumor that most would imagine. It was growing on a blood vessel in my uterus, so the blood supply meant for my uterus would be literally feeding the fibroid instead. Its size equaled a melon (almost a full-term pregnancy), and it was of an aggressive growth, and it could've grown into my other internal organs if not operated on time. It was already protruding into my uterine cavity and smashing my right fallopian tube. Most doctors refused to treat me, and I'm talking about doctors at top hospitals like Yale. My previous gynecologist, awarded a zillion times in his area of expertise, wasn't even sure about what it was exactly that I had because my fibroid wouldn't fit on any ultrasound screen.

I kept emailing and faxing doctors all over the place with my medical records attached, asking if they could do both - treat me and preserve my fertility. Most doctors didn't reply, but those who did reply said that my condition looked very complicated and they could only try. TRY? Trying wasn't enough for me.

When I emailed to Dr. Pozzi, he got back to me within 48 hours saying he can help me. So, I made an appointment to see him the following week. After my very first appointment with Dr. Pozzi, I actually had the date and time of my upcoming treatment. I couldn't believe it! I was very nervous about it being postponed or cancelled, though. But it didn't happen. The night before my surgery, Dr. Pozzi called me to see how I was feeling and to reassure me that he was going to take good care of me. And he did.

Indeed, Dr. Pozzi took great care of me. It was a very bloody surgery, and I had to have 4 units of blood transfusion. After the surgery, I had to stay three nights at the hospital, and Dr. Pozzi kept an eye on me very closely. He even came to see me on Easter Day. Dr. Pozzi himself admitted that my case was the most challenging during his years of service in the field of Ob-Gyn. However, no matter how complicated my case was, Dr. Pozzi managed to save both my life and my uterus. I’m indebted to Dr. Pozzi for giving my husband and me hope to have children.

Dr. Pozzi is the most compassionate and caring doctor I have ever had. His professionalism is superb and he truly listens to his patients. He won't hesitate to refer you to a specialist if he feels you and your would be better served by a more specialized doctor. It is a very rare quality and a true mark of an excellent doctor to know your limits and acknowledge them.

His entire office (other doctors and nurses) is very caring. He won't talk down to even his younger patients- even young mothers.. The whole office will respect your choices. Dr. Pozzi will throughly discuss your options and inform you of the risks.

When I got pregnant and informed them I wanted to have my baby, the whole office were excited and offered sincere and jubilant congratulations. The doctors were almost giddy with delight.

Dr. Pozzi will help you as much as possible and safely if you have others health problems while pregnant. I had many problems with chronic almost daily migraines and chronic fibromyalgia pain. His care and willingness to try certain migraine treatments which would be absorbed quickly into my body but wouldn't harm the baby made the world of difference. I don't know what I would have done without him.

I have had him as my OB/GYN since I was 16 and even though I didn't live close by, his care is well worth the 45 minute drive. I have no desire and will not stop using him when I get pregnant again. I had the 45-60 minute drive to the hospital with my first pregnancy.

I came across this site while searching for a specialist in another field of medicine. I have been a patient of Dr. Pozzi for many years. He is an exceptional OB/Gyn. Although many other physicians are listed in the Castle Connolly, "How to Find the Best Doctors" physician directory, I have yet to find any others who can also be called a "GREAT HUMANITARIAN". Dr. Pozzi is not only one of the best doctors, he is one of the "Best of the Best" doctors.

If only we could clone him to provide the same caliber in other fields of medicine!

Dr. Patrick Pozzi is very professional and personable. I totally recommend him for women who are in need of medical treatment of fibroids, endometriosis, hysterectomy, etc.
He performed my surgery with the utmost care and professionalism. I am grateful for his expertise and care. He even called me on a Sunday night make sure that I was recovering well after my release from the hospital. I thank God for Gifting doctors such as Dr. Pozzi with patience and sincerity in their hearts. He anwered all my questions and showed real concern for my situation. I was nervous and worried at first, but thank God he was able to assist. It was very important to me as the decision was very major in my life.

It is with highest regards that I recommend Dr. Patrick Pozzi to women facing pain related to uterine conditions. I am a 35 year old woman who has spent the past 15 years suffering excruciating pain, and no specialist provided a fraction of the compassion, knowledge or expertise I received from Dr. Pozzi at Alexian Brothers Medical Center in Elk Grove Village, Illinois. He is sensitive, highly competent and intuitive, and I am grateful to have been referred to his expertise by Dr. Arthur Davida, my family physician, who I also highly recommend. Dr. Pozzi performed an laparascopic total hysterectomy on me, and the moment I awoke from surgery, I knew my painful condition had been alleviated. My recovery has been pain free and I am fully active at 3 weeks post-op. Dr. Pozzi is a gifted, brilliant surgeon.
