If your situation is not super critical (such as a life-or-death situation), I would warn you to be…read morecautious when considering Dr. Chen. I had quite a fearful experience with him for my ovarian cysts. At the consultation, I noticed he was impatient with my questions, and I had no choice but to sign a consent to potentially remove both my ovaries, fallopian tubes, and uterus at the doctor's discretion during the operation. He even asked me if I already had children, and said then these organs are no use anymore, but a risk for cancer. I felt uncomfortable being treated in such an uncompassionate way and pushed to sign these papers, which I will regret so much. I should have listened to my gut feelings. I told myself he cannot understand women, but as long as he's an experienced surgeon, that's all I need. So I came into the operating room with my two ovaries and came out completely infertile (one ovary and both fallopian tubes removed), which I did not know the long-term implications at the time, but will later realize the changes and the consequences in my body. Higher risk of osteoporosis (bone loss) due to lower estrogen levels; Increased risk of heart disease, high cholesterol, and cardiovascular issues; Potential for memory problems and cognitive decline, and chronic kidney disease, etc... The postoperative pathology ultimately showed no cancer. But of course, they can write some random reasons in the report, for example, to prevent cancer. But what can I do for myself anyway? I was under anesthesia. As a result, I am so afraid of seeing a surgeon now. First of all, I see surgeons just wanting to do more surgeries in one shot for economic reasons, and second, I don't think they care about the long-term consequences on the patient, because their job is done after the surgery. In fact, Dr. Chen was again so impatient at the post surgery video call, to answer my questions, I asked if I'll still have periods, he told me to see an OB-GYN, of course, it's not his problem anymore.

I have been seeing Dr. Eric Weiss for several years now, and I have always been impressed with his dedication to his patients. He takes the time to listen to my concerns and to explain my treatment options in a way that I can understand. He is also very responsive to my questions and concerns, and he is always available to answer my calls or emails. In addition to his excellent medical skills, he is also a very caring and compassionate person. He genuinely cares about his patients and their well-being. He is always willing to go the extra mile to make sure that his patients are comfortable and satisfied. For example, when I was going through a particularly difficult time and diagnosed with aggressive skin cancer, Dr. Eric Weiss acted with extreme urgency about my concerns. He offered me support and encouragement, and he helped me to develop a plan to manage my condition. He also made sure that I had access to all of the resources that I needed as quick as possible. In my case time was of the essence and without his prompt response, I am sure my outcome would have been different. My children are also cared for by Dr. Phillips who is amazing with the kids. She has that extra high touch of care to help like a family member with the emotional support and guidance they need at these formative years And it goes without saying all the nurses and staff at the Village Doctor are top notch! Thank you for all that you do. I can't imagine life without the Village Doctor team.

After 2+ years struggling with infertility due to PCOS and endometriosis, over 30 doctor's…read moreappointments, a year of medicated cycles... WE ARE PREGNANT. And it's all thanks to an endometriosis excision surgery by Dr. Camran Nezhat. After being told by my IVF doctor that we had a 5% chance of conceiving naturally, we conceived naturally in our own home just THREE months after my surgery. I myself am a physician assistant & wanted to provide a medical professional's perspective. This review will be long but comprehensive & I hope you will take the time to read it. If you've struggled with infertility, you are familiar with the grueling process. I spent over a year being pushed off by REI doctors in my hometown & at UCSF. When I was failing to get pregnant with medicated cycles, I was told the best option was to progress to IUI/IVF. When I asked about endometriosis and described my symptoms of painful periods and dyspareunia (pain with sex), I was told I most likely did not have it. Even the experts at UCSF said that if I did have endo, the "evidence-based" treatment of choice for infertility due to endometriosis is IVF, and that there would be little benefit from surgery. This is when I began researching endometriosis surgeons and the implications of endometriosis and infertility. I spent hours, days, weeks scouring the internet. I considered traveling out of state &out of the country to find the best. In the end, it was Dr. Nezhat who I found to be the most experienced&impressive. I won't lie to you, the claims on Dr. Nezhat's website & the reviews on the internet seemed almost too good to be true, and I was hesitant and nervous for my appointment. I have never been more thankful to be wrong for my anxieties. His office is bright, open, and filled with pop music, most notably Taylor Swift. Cards & photos of miracle babies he has helped women to conceive litter the walls, no exaggeration numbering in the 100s-1000s. There are stacks of medical literature, including textbooks published by Dr. Nezhat himself - all of which supporting the evidence-based work he does for patients with endometriosis. By the time I stepped into Nezhat's office, I had already been to several different specialists and honestly felt like a number at those offices. By contrast, from the moment we stepped in, my husband and I felt as though we were treated like family. We were greeted by the kindest, most encouraging young women from all different backgrounds. None kinder and more empathetic than Dr. Nezhat's PA, Lindsey Chuang. She has fielded many an email & made many an extra phone call for me, & I've been so grateful. I believe Dr. Nezhat's entire staff understand they are working in a vulnerable area of medicine and are sensitive to that. My impression of surgeons is similar to IVF doctors, they will offer the solution they are trained to provide - surgery. To my surprise and comfort, Dr. Nezhat did not immediately say he could help us & made it clear that it was a real possibility that he would not operate unless he truly believed I had endometriosis. Only after a thorough assessment, including imaging and a physical exam did he clinically diagnose me with endometriosis & recommend surgery. We discussed the innovative techniques he uses for surgery, including the tools he uses for excision and ovarian drilling which is used to restore normal ovulation in PCOS. He was so kind and empathetic. He made it clear we could keep him in the room as long as we wanted until all of our questions were answered. I was most struck by his degree of humility given all he has accomplished. In my experience as a PA, even ordinary surgeons are not so empathetic and humble. I felt very safe in his hands on the day of my surgery, even safer that my friend Lindsey Chuang the PA was there. They are truly a very caring team and as far as patient experience, I was very impressed. Again, as a PA myself, and as a patient at multiple fertility clinics - I am sadly not accustomed to this level of genuine care. Dr. Nezhat called me the day after surgery, saw me two days later and then again 8 weeks later for post op. He takes so much time for his patients. He left me with the encouragement that our "prognosis is excellent," and that we could achieve pregnancy on our own, despite what everyone else said. I tried to believe him at that final appointment, but as many who struggle with infertility know - it can be hard to keep the faith. Well. To my shock. I had no idea that at that very final post op appointment while Nezhat was encouraging us, our baby was actually actively implanting in my uterus. What I believed to be impossible, happened naturally. When I emailed to share our news, I immediately received a phone call & tons of advice from Lindsey & Dr. Nezhat. I could write pages, how do you thank someone for giving you the opportunity to start a family? There aren't words. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you forever to the entire Nezhat team.

I honestly don't have enough words to express how grateful I am. I only wish I had come to him sooner. Thank you, Dr. Nezhat, for changing my life.
