After Years of Pain and Uncertainty, I Finally Found Answers with My Endometriosis Diagnosis

Hello. My name is Samantha and I’m 27 years old. I just got diagnosed with endometriosis by Dr. Singhal and Dr. McLean through laparoscopic robotic surgery, and it is a huge relief. I’m so happy because I’ve been suffering with these symptoms for many years since I was in high school, when I first got my period.

I wasn’t sure that all these symptoms were connected with digestive issues. I went to gastroenterologists and saw my regular doctor for all the pain and bloating that I was experiencing.

Finally, I was able to be put on this path to find these Doctors. Many doctors believed in me but thought it was just digestive issues and IBS. Finally, I was watching a TV show where a girl was speaking about her endometriosis symptoms, and I thought, “Wow. That sounds a lot like me.” So we researched, and I came across the website of Dr. Singhal and Dr. McLean. I made an appointment, and the moment I stepped into their office, Dr. Singhal said, “I believe you. I think you have endometriosis.” We started right on the journey to getting the laparoscopy done. Now, two weeks post-surgery, I feel so much better. I feel a huge relief off my shoulders to know that my pain was real and this was all real and for a reason. I’m super excited to move on with my life knowing that I now have a diagnosis and a treatment plan, and they were both amazing.

Everybody in the hospital during my surgery was amazing. They kept me calm, they kept me happy, and they were very thorough and wonderful. I’m very excited to have them as my doctors now to continue staying healthy, and I thank them so much. I highly recommend them.
