Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Amazing Surgeon, Believes in Bodily Autonomy
My entire experience with Dr. Fogelson and his staff was fantastic. Not only does he believe in a woman's right to decide for herself if she wishes to get sterilized, (regardless of marital status, kids/no kids, or age), he helped me get my life back when I was suffering from the crippling symptoms of endometriosis. I've had a couple surgeries in my lifetime but let me tell you how surprised I was with how tiny and barely noticeable my incisions were when I had a hysterectomy under his care! In a couple more months it'll match my previous incisions which look like cat scratches. So if the idea of visible scars deters you, just know I've taken 5 minutes trying to find one on my stomach.If you suffer from endometriosis or any unexplained pelvic pain I recommend Dr. Fogelson. If you are passing out on the floor of your bathroom, bringing a pillow and blanket because you don't know when the shaking and nausea will stop give him a call, he may change your life like he changed mine :)

A very happy patient – Sep 08, 2023

Dr. F has absolutely changed my life. I went from not knowing what was wrong with me after an extensive history (and many many years) of Drs not knowing what was wrong. He found stage 4 bowel endometriosis and removed it after two surgeries. He did an impeccable job and is extremely knowledgeable and talented. I did not do a ton of research before my surgery but absolutely would not have anyone else operating on me. Milissa (patient coordinator) is kind, welcoming, and always helpful. I would honestly send anyone here knowing they would get the best care possible.

S.B. – Apr 09, 2021

Dr Fogelson and Milissa advocated for me from the first phone call I made to the office. I suspected I had endometriosis. My OB-GYN and family didn't believe me, despite my history of massively painful periods and two years of "unexplained" infertility. My initial consultation was 1.5 hours. Dr Fogelson did an ultrasound, a neurological assessment, and a pelvic exam. He confirmed that I very likely had endo, and also showed signs of pudendal neuralgia and Adenomyosis. He performed surgery in June 2019 and confirmed (and removed) all my endo. We couldn't confirm adenomyosis with a biopsy but I knew a biopsy was unlikely to show much. By 1.5 weeks out I knew all my nerve pain was gone. The healing process was slow but a year out I feel like a different person. I'm also expecting my first child naturally, due this August (2020). I really can't thank Dr Fogelson enough, and will return to him when I'm done with childbearing to discuss options to treat my adeno if it's still a problem.

Dr. Fogelson was very professional. He made sure I knew the risks of surgery and was clear about what I should expect afterwards. He also made sure I was safe by splitting one surgery in to two to make sure the right experts would be present. Having stage 4 endometriosis is rough, but I'm feeling better even after 3 weeks!

I have a severe case of endometriosis, and I am beyond thrilled to call Dr. Fogelson my specialist. He did an extensive surgery a year ago that resulted in significant pain relief with each cycle. I consider myself blessed as many of my friends who suffer from the same disease have not been so fortunate, as they had extensive surgeries which some resulted in further complications.

Dr Fogelson performed my Myomectomy in 2012 in Atlanta! He was skilled and did a excellent job! Dr Fogelson's bedside manner is a A+. I am willing and hoping to make the trip out of state if possible to have Dr Fogelson do my Hysterectomy...... I have not been able to find a doctor like Dr Fogelson....

I was really disappointed in my first visit with Dr. Fogelson. He was only concerned about my weight & not my issue that I came in for. He didn't seem to have gone over any of my chart notes that my PCP had sent to him. He told me I needed to seriously think about barbaric surgery & if I lost weight I wouldn't have any issues. I tried telling him when I was thinner that I still had issues. It was very humiliating to be treated the way I was for my weight & not have the issue taken seriously.

Dr. Fogelson is a kind,compassionate and skilled endometriosis specialist/surgeon. He is very passionate about the disease and helping women who suffer with it. He understands the disease, he is very active in the academia world of gynecology which as a medical professional was important to me. We traveled from out of town and appreciated all the time he took with us discussing my history,giving his input on the situation and just listening. I am feeling much better after surgery, thank you!

Dr. Fogelson performed excision surgery for endometriosis and a hysterectomy for adeno. I have suffered from endo for over 20 years and have never met a physician so knowledgeable and passionate about understanding the disease.His bed side manner is just as amazing! I am six months post-op and feeling better than I ever had. I just wish I would of found him earlier.

Dr Fogelson is a wonderful doctor who takes his years of experience and knowledge to apply to his patience health. He performed a laparoscopic hysterectomy on me followed by a uterine sling. His work is top notch and his bed side manner is equal. I highly recommend him to any woman who is looking for a professional, highly trained surgeon. You will go through the process with confidence your health and well-being is a priority to Dr Fogelson and his team.

I had a great experience with Dr Fogelson. He is experienced and knowledgeable, and he answered all my questions to my satisfaction (both in person and via email). I felt I was in good hands. He performed my laparoscopic myomectomy this month, and everything went very well. Right now, two weeks after surgery, I feel great. Thank you for the outstanding care!
