I'm so grateful for Dr. Varon and the team she leads at UCSD. I had fibroids and wanted to get them…read moreremoved ASAP. I was originally at Scripps for my initial diagnosis but I wanted the best surgeon for my case so I turned to Dr. Varon. During my consultation, she had looked through my MRI and identified fibroids that the radiologist and obgyn had missed at Scripps. I highly trust Dr. Varon's expertise and thoroughness with her work. Dr. Varon listened to my concerns and gave me the best path forward. She is a very skilled minimally invasive surgeon and successfully removed multiple large fibroids for me. I feel more like my old self again! Thank you Dr. Varon for the care you provided me.

I was referred to UCSD as a complex case and Dr Varon was the 4th fibroid specialist I had been to…read morein 12 months. It took 6 months to get the appointment and another 3 to have the surgery but I'm beyond happy with Dr Varon. She is a very pleasant person and a very competent doctor, in and out of surgery. I highly recommend her. She is very prompt with her communication and follow-up, and was always in a good mood with a nice reassuring smile every time I saw her. Most importantly for me, she listened to what was important to me and shaped the treatment plan accordingly. It's odd for me to provide a medical review but I do so in the hope Dr Varon can help you. She's truly fantastic. Post surgery follow up was also stellar and resulted in good referrals for me too. Thank you Dr Varon.

I got super lucky finding Dr. Washkowiak as my OBGYN. I've been seeing her for nearly 10 years and…read moreup until this last year, all things have been relatively easy and painless with my scheduled annual visits. Fast forward to me getting preggers, and it seemed I became a regular fixture here. Her nurse Nicole is by far the best around. She is so sweet, patient and totally on top of everything! Dr. Washkowiak was everything I needed during and after my pregnancy. It was not an easy one but despite all my worries, fears and challenges, she was able to get through my terrible all-day sickness and other obstacles my pregnancy brought, which were many. A huge shout out to the girls upfront too. I had such a tough pregnancy, I was in nearly weekly from the very beginning. It didn't take long for them to know me by name and I just really appreciated their support and kindness during a time I was feeling pretty lousy. I have nothing but respect for Dr. Washkowiak and her team.

Sharp, practical, honest, no-holds-barred and compassionate. Those are the words I would use to…read moredescribe Dr. Washkowiak. She's been doing OBGYN forever and it shows in that she's seen it all and remains unfazed. I really, really like this office, including Dr. Waskowiak's nurse Nicole and all the other practicioners. They're professional, discreet, friendly and tolerant of your existing children, which is pretty rad!

After I found out that I had several large fibroids, I consulted with two different surgeons prior…read moreto Dr. Parker and also several other doctors to figure out my options and if it was possible to shrink them naturally. They were too big so anything natural wouldn't make a very big difference so I really wanted to have them surgically removed. The first 2 surgeons both told me that during surgery there would be a 15% chance that they would need to do an emergency hysterectomy and I really didn't want that. I finally found Dr. Parker through a recommendation from my new functional medicine doctors, who said that he had helped another patient of hers with a similar problem. Since I don't live near Dr. Parker's office, I was able to do my initial consultation online. He thoroughly explained my MRI images and all of my options and the pros and cons of each. I felt very comfortable making the decision to have the fibroids laparoscopically removed, and was actually excited to have it done, not scared at all. Dr. Parker clearly has a lot of experience and knowledge. The day before the laparoscopic procedure I was examined by Dr. Parker and he explained what would happen the next day and what to do in recovery. I was able to ask all the questions that I had and he even showed me a video of the procedure so I could see exactly how it works. On the day of the surgery, Dr. Parker and all of the other doctors and assistants took very good care of me, even though it took longer than expected as I had so many fibroids! I went home the same day and recovered quickly. I took 2 weeks off from work, but was able to walk around and do things pretty normally. Two months from the surgery I had another online check-up with Dr. Parker and was happy to report that I was not only completely recovered but feeling better than ever. Now it's been five months and I can hardly see the scars and I'm still feeling great! I'm so happy and forever grateful that after not being satisfied with the first two surgeons' solution, I sought out a third opinion and found Dr. Parker. He truly is a one-of-a-kind doctor, professional, knowledgeable, kind, and talented.

Dr. William Parker is the Best. I flew from Georgia to California for my myomectomy and would…read moreflown from around the world to be operated and cared for by him as so many others have done. There are no words to say what this kindhearted dedicated doctor did for me. Only wish I had found him earlier in my childbearing life, maybe I would not have had to undergone two ectopic pregnancies. I only hope and pray that as he mentioned there are doctors trained by him see it fit to learn from the best and not always quick to recommend hysterectomy. In fact, every doctor I saw before him would only recommend a hysterectomy, which I did not want so it took about 7 years to finally get a myomectomy when I found him. Thank you Dr. Parker!
