Dr. Morris Wortman, MD - Reviews

Dr. Wortman and his entire team are wonderful. Very welcoming. Very knowledgeable and genuinely care about your well being. As a woman who has only ever seen woman doctors, Dr. Wortman made me feel more than comfortable and is very respectful whilst having a great sense of humor!! They welcomed my whole family and made them feel at home. Thankyou for everything ❤️

The medical care that I received has absolutely revolutionized my life. I was treated with dignity and respect. My voice was heard, and my results have been excellent. I am healthy and happy.

Dr. Wortman helped my spouse so much. She has had this issue for 6 years - every month, stabbing pain to the point of shock. Emergency rooms only saw her as drug-seeking as their tests never found any proof of pain. Our options were always limited with other gynecologists. Most wanted to just remove the uterus and in their minds, removes the problem! A hysterectomy should not be a one size fits all suggestion! Dr. Wortman has an alternative procedure that we wanted to try. (see his website: The Center for Menstrual Disorders and Reproductive Choice) So far so good! She tells me she feels different which is better than it ever has been. We truly believe he found the problem. We will continue to follow up, but I have never felt so cared for as we have by him. If I was having issues, I would trust this man over any past OB-GYNs I have ever seen. He has the knowledge and experience with as many procedures he does. I could immediately see his office runs like a well oiled machine. We will be forever grateful and appreciative for what him and his team bring to these women.

After dealing with my issue for over 6 years and being told that the only "fix" was to get a hysterectomy, I finally found Dr. Wortman who gave me other options. You won't find another doctor anywhere that knows more than Dr. Wortman about female wellness. I only wish that I lived closer and found him earlier but I will always return back to NY for my gyno needs. I've been telling everyone I know how amazing I feel after having my procedure done by Dr. Wortman. He and his staff are like an orchestra. They know exactly what they are doing as well as how and when to do their part. They work together as a perfect team to make the most amazing things happen for so many women.

I became disillusioned with hormonal birth control after suffering through the horrible side effects for years. I settled on the Paragard IUD as a replacement, and my normal gynecologist inserted it with only some OTC pain medicine. It was the worst pain I've ever experienced. I hovered between blacking out, rushes of adrenaline from the pain, and being physically ill. Aside from all this, I loved everything about the IUD...until it partially expelled and I had to have it removed. It was really crushing because my only real options were to go back on one of the hormonal forms of birth control that made me so miserable or to go through the intensely painful process of the IUD insertion again. I BEGGED to be put to sleep for the procedure, but I was told that it simply wasn’t how things were done and the risks outweighed the benefits and a million other little things. I tried to have the insertion again, but even with a Xanax prescribed, I still ended up having a full-blown panic attack during the procedure that prevented the IUD from being inserted because I knew how bad it was about to hurt. It is the only panic attack I’ve had since coming off of hormonal birth control. With Paragard seemingly off the table and my husband and I not wanting to commit to sterilization, my only option for truly effective birth control was to go back on the hormonal methods that were driving me crazy. I was so angry and upset. I was furious that so many women speak of the pain of this procedure and are just written off as whining or being dramatic. My God, even for minimally invasive dental procedures you get laughing gas, and for this you get basically nothing. I was not willing to just take this lying down, so I started searching the Internet. That's when I found that The Center for Menstrual Disorders & Reproductive Choice and Dr. Wortman offered IV Conscious Sedation during insertion. From the first call I made to their office, they were so apologetic for my previous experiences and so understanding of what I was going through. This was so important to my husband and I that we drove all the way from our small town in North Georgia to Rochester because it was the closest (and one of the only) places we could find that even offered this. They were extremely accommodating to us, and we coordinated everything over the phone, mail, and email so that they would have all of my information on the day of the procedure. The day of the procedure was a completely different experience from my previous ones. Dr. Wortman and his entire staff could tell I was still a little nervous, and they did everything they could to make me more comfortable and ease my concerns. He inserted the IUD while I was under sedation, and I woke up not remembering the insertion at all. My experience with these insertions went from pain bad enough to make me physically ill to waking up with some mild stomach cramping. We were able to drive back towards home the same day. The drive was long but totally worth it, and I would certainly do it again. I realize that this review is basically a small novel, but it is so important to me that women know that there is a better way. I am so thankful to Dr. Wortman and his staff for making this a regular practice for their office, and I hope that other offices will follow suit so that women who are not as fortunate as I am can have access to this service closer to home. In the mean time, you can always see Dr. Wortman!

I have been a patient of Dr. Wortman office for all my OBGYN needs since I was 20. The staff is welcoming from the moment you walk in. They take pride in getting to know you as an individual. There is slim to non wait time in or out the waiting area. the knowledge from the staff is amazing! I began to have menstrual complications after my second child was born. During this time Dr. Wortman and his team studied and listened to all my needs/concerns. He was able to give me vital information of countless options (to which only he offers) so that as a team we could choose one together. Dr. Wortman is a sincere man who takes the time to make you feel comfortable and confident in your health choices. You'll never feel forced to choose a procedure you don't feel is fit to your health issues. Not only is the pre care exceptional, the after care from any procedure it without a doubt amazing.

I meant to write this the day after my surgery as I knew I had so much relief already, but when you're suddenly given your life back and it's been on hold for about 18 months you keep pretty busy doing a little catch-up or just going on overdue outings with the kids; It had gotten difficult on most days in the final months before my surgery to even lift my 2 year-old without horrible pain, especially if he accidentally kicked my enormously swollen & tender belly. Thinking of all the things I missed, like going on long hikes with my youngest like I did with his older brother when he was young, makes me only regret I didn't have the surgery sooner. Being the only case of hematometra caused by endometrial ablation, the only solution offered to me in Canada was a hysterectomy. With 2 very active boys (2 & 5 years old at the time) & a husband who was already picking up the pieces & taking time from work for all my appts (as I was trying chiropractic, acupuncture, homeopathy, & anything I could find to try to relieve my pain enough to get through a day without painkillers. I was also battling terrible sciatic pain (alternating with numbness at times) which started from the moment I woke after the ablation procedure to just the last few weeks. Everybody from my doctor to my chiropractor said there was likely no connection between the state of my uterus & the sciatic pain that that troubled me almost as much as my uterus at times has strangely been fixed for good I'm hoping. I will forever be grateful to Dr. Wortman & his incredible team for the amazing care I received from them! The level of expertise, knowledge & experience that Dr. Wortman has is simply unparallelled, and the level of compassion and kindness I received from his team made me feel like I was being cared for by my own family. Ironically they did everything they could to help my sister who had travelled with me to care for me but had broken her ankle the day before we flew out to Rochester. Within minutes of our original consultation her poor swollen foot was finally elevated with an ice pack and we were receiving some good advice from Dr. Wortman on that as well. I often find myself trying to think of ways to thank these wonderful people that gave me my life back but haven't yet come up with anything that could hold a candle to what they did for me & how well they treated my sister & I. Thank you so much to my extended family in Rochester!!
