I was seen with him through the share care program at Mayo in Mankato. He seems to be knowledgeable, but he told us his awkward life story about how he left his last job because of losing benefits within the first 10 minutes of meeting us. Also, I am a plus size woman who is heavier. He told me it was medically risky to gain any weight at all and that I shouldn’t gain any weight because I would most likely end up with one of the scarier medical conditions. Instead of telling me good news or being excited about my baby, he looked past me at my husband and says I’m so glad you are here so you hear this too and can help make sure she doesn’t gain any weight. It was right after my anatomy scan which was supposed to be a happy, exciting time. I felt embarrassed and it was demeaning as a woman to have that happen. I don’t recommend going to him if you are plus size.

Dr. Fatchikov doesn't care about women's needs. His idea is to treat endometriosis is with Lupron. Run for you lives he is horrible. Worst desision I made getting a laproscopy from him. His ego is bigger than his ability to treat women. He compared my stage 4 endo to him getting a hernia surgery. NOT THE SAME. Women feel more pain especially from a different surgery. Dr. Fatchikov made me loose all hope for doctors. His nurse is just as worse and manipulative
