T White New York City 09/22/2005 I had my first visit with Dr. Stanley West on Monday, Sept. 19. What a breath of Fresh air he is!! He is very nice and very confident in his work. And that made me feel confident. He explained to me the "History of Fibroids" and he also explained the whole procedure of the Myomectomy. He guaranteed me that it would not revert to a hysterectomy. Dr. West will be doing my myomectomy this coming November. I was diagnosed with Fibroids earlier this year during an emergency room visit. When I went to my GYN, she wanted to put me on hormones just to control the bleeding. When I mentioned Myomectomy, she looked at me like I had ten heads and just dismissed the idea. When I left her office I felt discouraged and hopeless. I got on the internet and searched Fibroids and Myomectomy. Dr. West's name came up quite a few times. The more I read about him, the more I liked. So I made my appointment with him. Best thing I ever did! After meeting with him, I left his office feeling hopeful and good about the upcoming surgery. I also read his book, "The Hysterectomy Hoax". I couldn't put it down. It should be required reading for ALL WOMEN and not just those of us with Fibroids. God bless you, Dr. West!! |
Oneka Temple Albany, New York 08/19/2005 My name is Oneka Temple. I am a 34 year old African American woman. Dr. West performed my Myomectomy the 26th of April, 2005. Like many women I have suffered with fibroids for too long! We all know about the pain shooting up and down the leg, the zillions of Advil and Always products consumed, non existent sex life, etc. The good news is that there is a wonderful person, Dr. Stanley West, at the end of the rainbow holding the new you with a totally healed body and the beginning of more energy and excitement than you've had in years! Alongside Dr. West are two of the most competent and compassionate office managers, lifesavers you will ever meet, Lisa and Sandra! The best, best, part about the myomectomy, for me, has been the extremely light periods. I have gone from wearing overnight pads daily all day to 5 days tops for a very light cycle. The funny thing is there are no indicators! No headaches, nausea, or extreme back pain, just, a light flow:) If you are currently struggling with fibroids, you owe it to yourself to learn more about the procedure. The Hysterectomy Hoax will answer many questions and possibly calm some fears:) Meeting Dr. West will surely answer any and all questions you have ever had about fibroids!!!! Best of luck! |
Carolyn PA 07/11/2005 First and foremost, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Dr. Stanley West for greatly improving the quality of my life. I would also like to thank the women who shared their testimonials on this web site. Knowledge is power. They have helped me enormously in my quest for answers and invaluable information. My myomectomy was performed on June 29, 2005, and it has relieved a myriad of debilitating symptoms. I feel fantastic! Any woman seeking advice on whether to undergo a myomectomy who is undecided--please call Dr. West. After the initial phone call with him, I intuitively knew he was definitely the right doctor for me. Patience, compassion, incredible kindness are just a few words to describe this exceptional man. Best of luck to all on their journey towards renewed health. We absolutely need more medical professionals like Dr. Stanley West in this world. I am forever grateful. |
Catherine Kentuha 06/09/2005 Dear Dr. West. I do not know how I can thank you for saving my life. I have not felt this good in years. Every month I feel like a brand new woman. Thanks once again for taking me under your wings and making me feel great. In my culture, we give cows as gifts but I know that it's impossible here. So, I will be sending you something from Uganda as a smalll token of my appreciation. Actually, everyone in my family thanks you a zillion times. Thanks once again. You're my hero.

Lara Cook Ashburn, VA 06/07/2005 Dear Dr. West, How do you begin to thank someone who has given you a new lease on life? Someone who has opened the door to parenthood when you thought it was forever closed? Someone who has made you feel so healthy and energized after years of pain and a pregnancy sized abdomen? After just three weeks post-surgery, I feel incredible! Not only is the outcome just as you promised, but the surgery process was something I've never experienced with medical treatment. Your care and compassion were apparent every time you talked with either Dave or me. You were so patient in taking the time to answer all of our questions. The care at the hospital was also excellent, and the obvious respect of the hospital staff for you was a real testament to your work. I am so grateful for finding your website and discovering your book. It has changed my life. Thank you for the wonderful work you are doing in expanding options and improving health care for women. For that, I will be eternally grateful. Most Sincerely, Lara Cook |
