I wasn't given to much details on the risks of taking birth control - just the pros to it. With that said, I've had to do a bit of my own research

Dr. Ted Anderson is the most caring, compassionate, and knowledgeable physician that I have ever encountered. If he does know the answer, he will research and reach out to other providers until he finds the answer. He is a Subject Matter Expert in more than just the field he practices.

He pretty much dismissed my concerns about how I was doing after my surgery. I explained that the pain I was experiencing before surgery is still there but now I have worsening symptoms since the surgery. Prescribed me medications that will not actually fix the problems I am experiencing but rather just cover them up. When I refused to have another pelvic exam, he pretty much ended the appointment and then scheduled me for having numbing shots in a few months. I felt ignored and unheard. I do not trust this physician any longer after my surgical experience and now this appointment. It took two months to get my surgery scheduled and another 5 months of waiting, just for this physician to put me in more pain than I was before the surgery.

Unfortunate experience. This provider has a tendency to downplay any pain or symptoms that you are experiencing. I ended up going to an er two times and ultimately admitted to a hospital for pain and nausea control. The provider told me it was impossible that the cysts I was diagnosed with in the ER would've caused me the pain that I was in.
