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
