First call him and give him a 2nd chance. If that does not work I would
def go back to the hospital where you had you Surgery. They should be
more than sympathetic to your problem. I would also def go to this
website and leave a review on him.

It maye seem vindictive but this website helped me weed out the good
from the bad Dr.s and Im sure women would aprreciated knowing what your
Gynos like before they opt or surgery with him and their pain managment
is completley ignored. I do hope you are getting some sleep adn I hope
your Dr. decided to take you seriously and helps you. Good Luck : )
