Dr. Von Bargen always makes me feel so comfortable and she's friendly, always so glad to see me and professional. It really is. You'd think that you would be nervous going to a urogynecologist, but she makes you so relaxed that you don't even notice where you are.

I was not satisfied with this surgical consult and left without being confident that I can make a well-informed treatment decision. Doctor seemed to have given only limited reading of my case record prior to seeing me. She took a good history, appeared to do a good exam, and seems to be a very competent surgeon. However, there was a real asymmetry of information. I have a problem she has seen lots of times before and it's just another day at the office for her. But it was new and significant for me. She talked very quickly. I had to ask her go back and explain her diagnostic observations and walk through possible treatment options. Despite having a notepad and pen with me, I couldn't take notes while I was half naked and trying to understand what she was telling me. I asked as many questions as I could think of. Even so, I worry that I didn't ask about everything that was relevant. I don't feel that there was adequate support of my decision making as a patient during this visit. It's not enough to just to tell me that it's my choice whether to have a surgery or not.
