Katy,
Here is his information. My cousin is in her forties, childless (by
choice). She had extensive endo for years on her bladder, etc. and did
end up having a hysterectomy with this doc a couple of years ago. So
far no more problems. She adores him and has lots of friends in the
women's health field that think highly of him as well. I have never
seen him, so I can't attest to his skills, etc. personally. You may
want to call and see if you can speak with him or set up a phone
consultation to check out whether or not you think he's a good doc for
you.
