Hi Everyone, 
Last Tuesday, July 19th marked 3 years since my first surgery with Dr. K. So much has happened since then and I couldn't be happier! 
I was the first international patient to go see the wonderful Dr. K. I felt so good after my first 2 surgeries I knew what I had found, and that I had to get the word out! It took a little while to get other patients to listen and take the chance I did. But eventually things picked up and he has been on a roll ever since! 
I didn't have anyone I could talk to about their experience with him, and I was scared out of my mind! I remember having a huge panic attack at the airport before we left, thinking what in the world was I doing?? All on words written on the internet (we all know that you can say anything you want on the internet, make up stories or fictional people, and of course lie to your hearts content), but I did go and it was the very best thing I could have done!! He is everything we who suffer from ARD ever dreamed of but never knew existed. In so many ways his treatment is NOTHING like treatment here in the U.S. Thank God!!! It simply can't be beat anywhere in the world! 
I came home adhesion free and ready to ' shout it from the rooftops'! I have had continuing problems and Dr. K. has been there with me through it all. Always willing to give me advise I can trust or help in any way he can. 
I just recently returned home (last week) from having him finally remove my remaining ovary. I tried to keep it as long as I could, I was almost done with it, but it continued to give me nothing but problems. This time I had multiple large cysts (one as big as 6 cm!) so it was time to take it out…and there is no one I trust more to perform my surgery, so off I went… 
Dr. K. informed me that I am absolutely adhesion free!! Not one single adhesion! It was the best news he could have given me! Finally, without my ovary causing trouble, I can rest assured that my days of dealing with ARD are behind me! What a huge relief! We all know that after dealing with those nasty things it is always in the back of your mind every time you feel pain…Are they back?…Well no more for me…Thank God and Dr.K.!! 
Now, 3 years after my surgery, Dr. k. has the best success rate in the world and so many loyal, happy patients (200 and counting!) willing to speak with new patients to let them know they have finally come to the right place…EndoGyn!! Quite a difference from when I first went, and I'm thrilled to have been a part of getting him there! I hate to think of where we would all be if I had given in to that panic attack and didn't go…. 
If I had one wish today, it would be that he could find another surgeon qualified enough to help him with all of these patients that have been flocking to him for help. He is so unbelievably busy he has no time to sit back, breathe and enjoy his success! Maybe one day soon…let's all keep our fingers crossed and say a prayer… 
Kudos to Dr. K. and keep up the excellent work! 
Lisa

Daniel, 
It has been a year ago to the date that you helped my wife Lisa with her adhesion problems. I just wanted to say THANK YOU again for helping her. I understand the time she has spent helping other patients with their problems. The two of you work well together. I understand the time has been well spent when we get to know the patients like Dan & Mic and when Carolyn and Jerry opened up there home to us.

Please keep doing what your doing and god help you when you deal with AMERICAN women !!!

Thank you again.

Sincerely, Duane
