"Dr. Pavelka was one of the worst doctors I have ever encountered. I was referred to him after finding large lump in my abdomen and having a CT scan. Even though it was years ago, I can clearly remember him coming into the room for the first time, asking if he could do a vaginal exam. Then while doing this, telling me that he looked at my scans, which showed ovarian cysts from endometriosis and that I should have a full hysterectomy. I was only 30, and as I was trying to hold back tears, he then asked if I've ever had unprotected sex and said since I've never gotten pregnant that I'd never be able to get pregnant. All of this while I'm lying vulnerably on the exam table. He then had me get dressed and meet in his office where he asked if I want to have children- after he had just told me that I'd never get pregnant & should remove my uterus! I'm so glad I found another surgeon who was able to remove the cysts, keep one of my ovaries. And have been pregnant twice now!"
