Christine A Conway, MD

This doctor poo pooed my question about Hormone Replacement Therapy and basically refused to order blood work showing hormone levels when I requested it stating they "change often". Wasn't at all interested in consulting with me about my checking my hormone levels.

I was referred to Dr. Conway by my primary physician. I had uterine fibroids, a common condition for women in perimenopause. My complaint was that I had become anemic from heavy bleeding. After two visits and a sonogram, Dr. Conway said, "I could prescribe lupren, which would shock you into menopause, or you can have a hysterectomy." I did NOT want to enter into menopause, so I agreed to the hysterectomy. During my pre-op exam, she gave me a consent form that included option to remove my ovaries. Instead of shrinking the fibroids, she gave me a scar as big as a C section and I had adhesions so painful I never had sex after the surgery. I was supposed to see her for a post-op exam but could not get an appointment (eventually saw her). No advice on HRT. Severe hot flashes still even a decade after the surgery. She "lost my consent form which I annotated with instructions NOT to take my ovaries (I did not have cancer). I trusted her and she betrayed me.

Actually, Dr. Conway was my obstetrician in 1995, she was fantastic and having her was a wonderful experience. I highly recommend her to any woman in need of the nest care possible. Had I stayed in NY instead of moving to FL, I might have considered going for No 7 baby...wishing her the best!
