We need to be educated!

Its been 12 days since Dr. Arrington performed Robotic Surgery to remove my large fibroids that were taking over my uterus.  I feel like I've just been given my life back.  For over a year I've known that I had a large fibroid. Not wanting to have a hysterectomy and having anxiety about surgery, recovery and the "unknown" ...  I pondered and waited and saw several doctors.  All offering a hysterectomy... Ugggh - I didn't want to succumb to losing all my female organs or any for that matter.  However, after meeting with Dr. Arrington I knew that I wanted him to perform the surgery, my uterus was swollen to the size of a 5 mos pregnancy.  Thank Goodness for modern technology and for Dr. Arrington.  I feel so much better my swollen uterus is now gone - and I feel amazing.  I'm ready to get back to the gym and back to my routine.  I hope that more women will find out about Dr. Arrington and know that this is an option; 4 small holes and out of the hospital within 24 hours!  If I hadn't done just one more "Google search" I may not have been so lucky... we need to inform every woman we know this is the way!  Thank you to all the staff and to Dr. Arrington.  

Sincerely,
"Realtor, Utah"

Severe endometriosis Oregon patient experience

Dr. Arrington has been the best doctor I have ever met. I can't find words enough for the positive impression he left on me as a doctor and a person. I went to him to remove my stage three endometriosis and I was not let down. My husband and I flew all the way from Oregon to see him and if given the chance I would do it all over again.  He is highly knowledgeable, professional and the most caring doctor I have ever met. I trust him with every fiber in me, he did nothing but put me at ease, calm me and put to death my every fear. His passion for what he does shows and he has great talent and skill. He is the most conservative surgeon I have ever met. I will be referring everyone I know to him and will be spreading his desire for less invasive surgery to every woman I know. I recommend every woman see him, you will never be disappointed but only thankful eternally for the decision to entrust yourself to him

Patient Experience with Stage 4 Endometriosis

I have been suffering from stage IV endometriosis for over 10 years. I have had many unsuccessful laperoscopic surgeries to try and alleviate my pain... the Doctors would cut me open to only close me back up and say there was nothing they could to do help me except take everything out (complete hyserectomy and opherectomy), the last Doctor even told me she would take some of my bowel and this would all have to be done via major surgery. This was not an option for me because menopause in my 30’s did not sound very appealing or helpful plus major surgery when I have 3 little ones to care for.

I finally found Doctor Arrington in my last moment of dispair! I was about to do what the other doctors were telling me was my only option when I read Dr Arrington’s website that he has been successful in helping people with endometriosis as severe as mine. He was a 6-7 hour drive but I called his office, right away I felt relief as I emailed him all my op reports and findings and he emailed me back with an optimistic outlook on my situation.

I made the decision to have him be my surgeon and it was the right one. He did the ‘impossible’... he was able, with laparoscopic surgery,to clean all my endometriosis out and still leave my right ovary and uterus in tact and my bowel! It was a miracle.

I have been treated previously in the states of Hawaii, Utah, California and Arizona and Dr. Arrington is the best and most skillful surgeon I have ever met, and definitely worth the travel! He is respectful, kind and mindful of his patients as well, which is rare, especially in a Doctor that is so skilled. I recommend Dr. Arrington to anyone! Thank you for restoring my health and hope!

Thank you for care

Dr. Arrington,

Thank you for the outstanding care you and your staff provided to me. I am so grateful for your wealth of knowledge and sincere care and concern for your patients. I made it through it and it has been the best decision I have made for a long time! I feel great. I don't have any bleeding whatsoever (YEA!) and my complexion is 100% improved! I am happy with the choice we made together to have a hysterectomy. I have an improved quality of life in family, work and play where I don't have to be tied to a bathroom hour upon hour. I hope all is well with you and thank you again for everything. I will recommend you and your office to anyone at anytime.

Patient Experience with Hysterectomy

Dr. Arrington: It has been one year since my hysterectomy and I just wanted to let you know I am doing very well after having the surgery and removing the endometriosis that was so bad. I struggled with pain for many years and never knew I could feel this good? January-2011

Patient Experience with Endometriosis

Dr. Arrington is a WONDERFUL doctor. He is very kind and is willing to listen to you. He did endometriosis surgery on my 3 or 4 years ago. He has helped me so much. It was worth the 1 1/2 hour drive to see him. I love his staff too. I also tell women about my good experience with Dr. Arrington. You're the best Dr. Arrington! Keep up the good work. - June-2010

Patient Experience with Fibroids

Dr. Arrington was my third "second opinion" doctor on surgery with a very large fibroid. Other doctors in the SLC area told me my uterus was too big to be managed laparoscopically.

Dr. Arrington was the one who was confident to do the laparoscopic approach. He is very knowledgeable, experienced and caring. I was pleasantly surprised with how much time he took to explain things in detail, once he is in the room with you, you have his full attention and he will stay with you until your questions are answered. His office staff was wonderful as well.

I had robotic surgery with a very small bikini type incision at the end of January and my recovery was very fast with a minimum of medication; two weeks after the surgery I was able to run my first slow 5k without any discomfort or pain. Now two and a half months after the surgery (and 1/2 marathon) I do feel great.

I would highly recommend him to everyone who is looking for an excellent surgeon in advanced laparoscopic and robotic surgery.

Thanks to him I was able to avoid a costly surgery out of state. Thank you Dr. Arrington! - April-2010
