These were out of pocket procedures but told they would prepare my surgery. Dr Shapiro with another Dr performed what I was told was a successful surgery ( 5 hours w partial hysterectomy). After two months I noticed by body still had the prolapse but in addition I was using the bathroom more at night, sex was painful, and I'd lost a fair amount of strength as not able to lift any weights after my surgery. Bottom line is I was better off not doing anything. Was hopeful and the Drs were friendly but the bottom line was I was worse off than before I went. Dr Shapiro suggested I return to using a pessary which I was before- thx to a nurse at tru-care who suggested I find a gehalte Dr at Scripps. Sadly on Medicare I went to tri-city which is where these drs work from. What could improve? Vote to improve hospital, better communication with drs. as I was never told there was a high percentage or any percentage of not working. Just told not using mesh.

I had to tell him to calm down and to not speak to my father like that because it will make him even more nervous I'm sorry do you know ANYTHING about Alzheimer's? You know that they can't control their actions My father who already has a hard time talking clearly did tell me he never wants to go back there. I don't recommend this place.

I declined and explained that I want to explore other options. She said, "sure, they won't work though". Cool, let's try though before we cut me open and I have early menopause because of potential complications. I also explained that the outrageous price and copay for an MRI at UCSD was cost prohibitive since I'd have to pay $3,000 out of pocket. She said she trusts the radiologists at ucsd, and other radiologists may miss things that she felt ucsd wouldn't...ok, well I still don't have $3k to put towards this atm. So she says, if you're not having surgery, don't bother with an mri...like, what? I still want to know what's wrong with me, why is an mri off the table unless it's at your outrageously expensive facility? She acted as if San Diego's only qualified radiologists work at ucsd, pleeeeeassse. Get over yourself. This city is chocked full of qualified radiologists, to suggest any other imaging center is incompetent was absurd. She then said "I don't think this is working out", yeah, no crap, you just want to empty my wallet and cut me open. She offered no alternatives, I have to ask her for everything and then she says, "sure, but it won't work". Awesome bedside manner, I'd recommend going anywhere else if you don't appreciate being spoken to in a condescending tone while being denied care because your doctor is too sensitive to take any pushback on their terrible ideas. Chat gpt had better ideas than she did. If she's your doctor, run, don't walk to any other provider.

Dr Dicks, with the assistance of Scripps Medical, performed Green Light Laser Therapy on my enlarged prostate and within days, allowed me to urinate like a 15 year old! I was moved to tears. I owe much to Dr Dick, he is a gentle down-to-earth surgeon. He gave me confidence, with his own confidence, to take this journey for surgery and it has changed my life entirely.
