I'm currently 10 days post-op with Dr. Lizardo, and I genuinely feel incredible. From the moment I met him, I knew I was in the best possible hands. I expected the recovery process to be a tough road, but to my surprise, it's been smooth and manageable every step of the way. My incisions are small, clean, and healing beautifully, and I'm honestly blown away by the precision and care that went into every detail of my surgery. Dr. Lizardo's expertise, kindness, and professionalism made what could've been a stressful experience feel empowering and positive. I cannot say enough good things about him -- truly. I feel blessed, grateful, and honored to have been one of his patients. If you're considering surgery and looking for someone who genuinely cares and delivers exceptional results, look no further than Dr. Lizardo. He is a true gem in his field! read more

The staff greets you with a smile when you check in and when you leave and the office is always clean. Dr. Lizardo is a caring and concerned doctor. He will ask you about your health, sit and listen. Then he will tell you what he thinks, what should be done and if he can or can not do. He keeps things real with you and straight to the point. He asked me to to do him a favor and that was to lose some weight because he felt like that would help me with my surgery and recovery. I did just that and not just for him but for me also. I had fibroids and he did laparoscopic hysterectomy surgery on me on 8/1/25 and he was great. I'm home recovery slowly but surely following doctor orders. Yes, I do believe that losing the weight helped with my surgery and my healing process and I will be continuing my weight loss journey once I'm able to get back to my little workout. Dr. Lizardo and his assistant was so detailing telling me about the surgery and what to expect after the surgery while home recovering and told me don't hesitate to call if I have any questions or concerns about anything. He even took the time to talk to my family that came with me and told them how everything went in the OR. I just want to thank Dr. Lizardo and his team again for everything. read more

My OBGYN recommended Dr. Lizardo after discovering several fibroids, the largest being 8 cm. I was super nervous until I had my consultation. During the consultation, Dr. Lizardo was very informative and easy to talk to, I left knowing I was in good hands. On the day of surgery, Dr. Lizardo successfully removed 6 fibroids. He opted for minimal incisions which I feel has made my recovery pretty smooth. It's been just over a week and I feel great! Dr. Lizardo is a skilled surgeon and it's evident that he truly cares about his craft and patients. I highly recommend Dr. Lizardo! read more

Dr. Lizardo saved my life! After suffering a traumatic miscarriage at 12wks and complications from fibroids and a D&C, my mother's coworker recommended that I see Dr. Lizardo to take care of the fibroids. She is a patient and praises his skillset, bedside manner and overall personality. When I first met him at my appointment I was in a really dark and distraught place due to the loss of our first baby and he was so kind to me. He listened to my case, gave me medical advice and I decided to move forward with the myomectomy that he recommended. 2 weeks later, I found myself in the ER due to bleeding complications and found out that there were components of my baby still in me which put my body into miscarriage mode all over again! I was already depressed but at this point I just did not want to die and no longer wanted to trust the ER or my original OB. I called Maura, his scheduler, and told her what was happening; I did not trust my original OB to do another D&C again. I wanted Dr. Lizardo to do it. They fit me in right away so I left the ER and headed to the MD Surgery Center. Upon arrival, they were so gentle and kind to me, prepped me for surgery and all went well! I felt so much better after this D&C vs the original one that my original OB did. At that point I was sold that Dr. Lizardo was my miracle worker and I agreed to do the myomectomy as soon as possible. He was even able to send out the fetal sample for analysis and gave my husband and me the information that we needed to confirm that our baby was normal! The original sample sent from the first D&C was inconclusive due to there not being enough for analysis. Leading up to the myomectomy my telehealth and in person appointments went very well and he educated my husband and me on the procedure, recovery and when it would be safe to try again. My myomectomy went VERY well. He took out 18 fibroids!!!!! 4 of the 18 ranged from 6cm - 10cm!How my original OB missed this, we will never know. I am currently 1 month and 2 days post op, had 2 follow ups with Dr. Lizardo and I am healing well. My belly button incision has no scar (completely healed) and my pelvic incision (2-3cm) is not even noticeable now that it is almost completely healed. Three cheers for no big scar!!!! Thank God for Dr. Lizardo; he saved my life and gave me my smile back. Thank you for all you did doc. My family appreciates you!!!! read more

After years of suffering, Dr. Lizardo gave me back my life. My primary OB/GYN recommended Dr. Lizardo to me for minimally-invasive surgery after discovering a massive fibroid (approximately the size of a baby's head) on my uterus. The symptoms from the fibroid were debilitating and were impeding my life. I was experiencing more than two week long periods, heavy blood loss that lead to severe anemia, excruciatingly painful menstrual cramps, vomiting, fatigue, and dizziness. There were days when I couldn't leave my house because of the cramps and/or the heavy bleeding. My first consultation with Dr. Lizardo exceeded my expectations. Dr. Lizardo took the time to explain all my options for dealing with the fibroid and even drew diagrams to show how the various types of surgeries would be performed. He went over the benefits, risks, potential complications, and recovery times for each option. I received all the information I needed to make an educated decision about my reproductive health. I decided to undergo the Laparoscopic Myomectomy surgery. Dr. Lizardo went over my medical records and explained why I needed to get my iron levels back up before it would be safe for me to have surgery. He advised me on how to do this. Two weeks after following his exact advise, my iron levels were healthy again. When I went in for the surgery, I felt at ease. The surgery center was clean and the entire staff was highly competent, caring, and dedicated to their patients. Dr. Lizardo came to check on me before I was given anesthesia to answer any remaining questions. The surgery took 2 hours and was 100% successful. There were zero complications and, despite the size of my fibroid, my uterus and both of my ovaries remained fully intact. I was able to go back home that same day to begin my recovery. The post-op symptoms were not much different from my pre-op menstrual symptoms except it required more rest and pain medication management. Five days later I was well enough to work from home. Twelve days later and I was back at work full time. Two weeks post-op, I no longer required any pain medication. Dr. Lizardo called to check in during my recovery and I saw him twice for my post-op consultations. He is reliable, punctual, honest, professional, dedicated, highly experienced, and non-judgmental. Dr. Lizardo did an excellent job with the incisions, which healed beautifully. He performed the incisions so intricately and strategically that I have zero visible scars when wearing a bathing suit. It has been over 2 months since my surgery. My periods are now less than 1 week long, light, and pain-free! I am no longer confined to my home as a result of my period. It is no exaggeration to say that Dr. Lizardo has given me my life back. I recommend Dr. Lizardo because he is specialized in the most advanced, minimally invasive form of fibroid removal surgery and because he is truly passionate about helping women. read more

I had the best possible outcome after having my fibroid removal surgery with Dr. Lizardo and I decided to share my experience here for future patients who are looking for a compassionate and expert gynecologist. My story: I had a visit with my OBGYN and she detected a fibroid that was 10 CM. she recommended that I remove it ASAP. Based on the size of my fibroid, she predicted that the surgeon might decide to go with an incision and aggressive approach as a course of action vs laparoscopic surgery. She then recommended Dr. Lizardo as my best option that might be able to remove it laparoscopically. Since it was my first time doing serious surgery, I tried to do my research and see what were other patients experience. I found out, the ones who had to go with incisions had very terrifying experiences. Some of them could not get back to their normal activities for 4 weeks or more. I am very active and work 60 hours a week. So I was hoping that Dr. Lizardo is able to do the magic. I might add that those patients, had smaller size fibroid than me. But, to my surprise, Dr. Lizardo, promised to remove it laparoscopically which he successfully delivered on his promises. I highly recommend Dr. Lizardo, because firstly, during our first visit, he tried to explain the course of action as simple and detailed as possible (as an international person, I extremely appreciated that). He added that he strongly recommends that I walk right away after I wake up from the surgery which was amazing to hear. He was very upfront about the Risk and very confident that how the chances are small. I really felt I am in a good hand. Secondly, the day of the surgery, he came early and we had a chat again about the whole process and the do/don't after the surgery. My surgery took about 2 hours and when I woke up, I didn't feel great (to be expected) but I could walk to the car. The next day, I could start walking every couple of hours for approximately 15-20 min. And finally, I was able to go for a short (2 hours ) hike a week after my surgery. I talked to my friends who had similar surgery and they were extremely surprised by how fast I recovered. Now three weeks after the surgery and considering that I no longer use pain medication, I feel a pain relief that I carried for more than three years. Lastly, I might add that the staff, nurses, and the anthologist in the Maryland Surgery Center were simply wonderful and I felt very relaxed and comfortable the day of the surgery. read more

I highly recommend Dr. Lizardo for any woman seeking options for fibroid removal. He performed a very successful laparoscopic myomectomy on me to remove 8 fibroids (3 of which were larger than 5cm). I was referred to Dr. Lizardo by my OBGYN once I was diagnosed with uterine fibroids, who referred to him as an "expert in minimally invasive gynecological surgery". During the consultation, he was very transparent, provided a thorough overview of my options, risks, etc. He addressed all of my questions and questions from my family members as well. He also conducted all the necessary tests to ensure an optimal surgical approach. The actual procedure took only 1.5hrs although he planned for 2.5hrs. He successfully removed all 8 fibroids. I went home the same day. I am 2 weeks-post surgery and I feel good, recovering well and couldn't have asked for a better outcome. Overall, if you are looking for options for fibroid removal, I highly recommend you reach out to Dr. Lizardo. He is a very skilled surgeon with a vibrant attitude that will put you at ease during the entire process. read more

I had a consultation with Dr Lizardo in April to see if he could remove a large fibroid that was causing me severe chronic back pain. I had previously had an open myomectomy (6 years ago) by a different doctor and I was so scared that I would have to go through that again. At the consultation I expressed my concerns and he was very reassuring and answered all my questions. I was so impressed by him that I set a surgery date before I left his office. I had a great gut feeling about him and I wasn't wrong! He removed a cluster of 6 fibroids laparoscopically. He called me several times during my recovery to see if I was ok and how I was doing and if I had any questions. The surgery was much smoother than I thought it would be and my recovery was significantly easier than the last time. My back pain is completely gone and I feel like I have gotten my life back. I wish I had found him when I needed my first surgery. If you are looking for a great gynecological surgeon look no further! You won't be disappointed. I've been recommending him to everyone I know. read more

Dr. Lizardo is a true Rock Star. Rock Star, by paraphrased definition, is a famous and successful singer or performer, a person treated as a celebrity. I call him a Rock with the mindset that his solid knowledge, performance, and method for handling my procedure kept me grounded, feeling empowered throughout this anxiety and fear-provoking situation. A star shines and guides, with his excellence in explaining every aspect of my condition he enabled me to make the right decisions to remove the 10-pound boulder that was growing on my uterus. He shined a light on my process, giving me the options and steps to take before and after each lab, assessment, and procedure. This clarity provided an awareness that allowed for ease and preparedness through the situation resulting in minimal pain every step of the way. He clasped the stone I threw on the operating table right before surgery, "no blood transfusion of ANY type." He proceeded to adjust his concrete resilient team in orchestrating the success of my operation. If you are looking for a medical professional to work with you in a balanced state of Professionalism, Knowledge, and Understanding of your mindset as a patient, then this strong, solid Rock, shining Star performer, is the right choice.
