Consulted with Dr. Mackoul in 2012 to remove 1 ovary due to a large cyst. He stated he would take a tissue sample during surgery to pathology to check if malignant or benign so he could decide if the other ovary should be removed or do more biopsies. Nurse called prior to surgery to confirm the oopherectomy on the right. When I arrived at the Holy Cross Hospital I was shocked when I was asked to give permission for a hysterectomy & declined. Dr. Mackoul was 2 hours late, then proceeded to lie & state we discussed hysterectomy, then left the room to ‘pretend’ call his RN & said she agreed she called me about a hysterectomy. I had family that had arrived from out of town to watch my kids, done all the pre-surgery tasks, was vulnerable due to my husband’s recent death & was in total shock & unnerved by what was happening and sadly went through with the hysterectomy. For him, it was an easier surgery to do the whole thing rather than a part & more $. Later I found out he had lost privileges at Washington Hospital Ctr due to his incompetence and substandard care. He now has his own surgery center (where regulations are lax) & a simple search shows he's had 14 lawsuits since 1991. Do your research!

Dr. Paul McKoul is a blessing. God has truly given him a gift of knowledge for the female anatomy. So many years I have suffered due to complications from fibroids. Because of his exceptional abilities in his medical practice, I am living a new and improved lifestyle.

During my menstrual cycle, I suffered from constant pain in my lower back, urinating on myself from coughing and laughing too hard. I would vomit sometimes during my cycle, I would soil my clothes during my cycle, had extreme pelvic menstrual cramps, I would have major bloating in my stomach region, I wouldn’t be able to fit many of my blouses.

I thank God because of Dr. McKoul’s expertise and method of resolving the issue of fibroids, I am healed and ALL the complications from it.

There is an out of pocket expense for the medical procedure but it was so worth being able to LIVE! 🙏🏾😁🙌🏾
