Years ago Dr Robbins was my OB/GYN for several years. He took over my care when Dr Kauffman…read moreretired. In 2007, while undergoing fertility treatments, he found a cyst and a large benign tumor on my uterus, which he said were too large to remove from my uterus and therefore my uterus had to be removed. At that time I still had HIGH FSH & AMH levels & several good eggs left on both of my ovaries (which only had small cysts on them). I was devastated because I wanted to have more children & Dr Robbins knew this. When Dr Robbins recommended the hysterectomy, HE NEVER ONCE SUGGESTED EXTRACTING MY EGGS FROM MY OVARIES BEFORE THE HYSTERECTOMY as I could have found a Surrogate to carry my embryos,
With this said, - I do believe that Dr Robbins learned a lesson from my case and he now will recommend egg extraction especially if you want children, thus making him a better doctor.
Regardless & Instead of staying with Dr Robbins, and in an effort to save my uterus, I ended up going to a different ob/gyn who was also an oncologist named Allen Munoz. Alan Munoz lied to me every step of the way, including convincing me that he was going to save my reproductive system.
In the end, I got a CYA letter from Dr Robbins, who bowed out, and I was Severely injured by Alan Munoz MD, during my surgery, who while rushing through my hysterectomy so that he could get to the airport to get on an early plane to NY, severed my right ureter and closed me up without performing the dye test to see if he had nicked or cut either one of my ureters.
OVer the next week while Munoz was off in NY, MY BODY CAVITY FILLED UP WITH TOXIC URINE! When my organs started shutting down & I got a pneumonia the head of Medical City Hospital intervened, Munoz was kicked off my case, & they found the injury. I then underwent several surgeries & procedures to save my life & my right Kidney.
Alan Munoz MD caused me several years of pain and suffering from the injury which resulted from his negligence, and now ive had many years of residual reoccurring illnesses.
In the end, I should've listened to Dr. Robbins and had the hysterectomy done by him. I could say more but I wont.
- HOWEVER, what I will say this: BEWARE!
And in my opinion, don't have any surgical procedures done unless you trust your instincts, consult with a lawyer first and, before the surgery, WRITE DOWN EVERY ONE OF YOUR DESIRES & AGREEMENTS THAT YOU HAD WITH YOUR DOCTOR ALL OVER THE CONSENT FORMS!!
AND, If your doctor refuses to perform your surgery when you have placed your comments and agreements on the consent form, you may want to rethink things, think long and hard about having the procedure done & about your doctor.
