'Dr. Moore saved my life.'

Procedure: Mesh Removal

Dr. Moore saved my life.

I had my original surgery a few years ago for prolapse and incontinence. After my surgery, I started having symptoms and complications that seem to only get worse with time. I had chronic back pain that for days would put me down. I suffered from recurrent bladder infections and kidney infections that would cause a fever of 104. I went to so many doctors that could not diagnose my pain. Had MRI's done to look at my back and nothing was found. Even my gynecologist that inserted my original mesh said it was not the mesh causing my problems. But after 2 years, I said enough was enough. I started to Google recurring bladder infections and Dr. Miklos and Moore's website was the first to come up. I clicked on their mesh complication website and started to read the different case studies and patient testimonials. I realized then that I was not alone, that my symptoms were similar to the ladies that shared their stories. I immediately called Atlanta Urogynecology Associates and scheduled an appointment with Dr. Moore. On my initial exam Dr. Moore felt the mesh and upon that first touch, the pain started to shoot down my back and into my legs, it was unbearable. It was that moment that I knew it was the mesh and that it needed to come out. Dr. Moore then spent over an hour with me discussing my pain; my many doctor visits and what he felt could be done to help me. I few months later I went to surgery and woke up a new woman. I was shocked; I had no more back pain! Now three months later I can say that I feel like I am 20 years old again. I have my quality of life back, thanks to Dr. Moore.

Dr. Moore and his staff were amazing. As a mother of 5 kids, I can tell you that no mother/woman should live like that. If you are suffering from pain from

Just wanted to say that I have spent a great deal of time looking for a doctor that I felt I could trust after having mesh erosions. I found that doctor in Dr. Moore. He was very kind and considerate and understanding and I have no doubt that when I have my surgery to repair/remove he will be the one I want! Thank you Dr. Moore for being so kind to me.

'I went to 9 different doctors (2 at Johns Hopkins)... Dr. Miklos is a miracle worker.'

Procedures: Posterior vaginal mesh removal, Posterior Repair

Dr. Miklos is a miracle worker. I am now 7 weeks post-op and feeling great!! I had been living in pain for 2 years with no relief in-sight. I went to 9 different doctors (2 at Johns Hopkins), had 10 different exams, 4 surgeries and nothing was done. None of the previous doctors could diagnosis what I had and I was left with no hope. After my kids did a desperate search on the internet, they came across Dr. Miklos and Dr. Moore and convinced me I needed to come to Atlanta. Dr. Miklos is a fantastic doctor. He made me feel very comfortable from the moment I walked in his office. After my exam, he knew exactly what needed to be done to fix my pain. I believed in him. I had no pain after my surgery and I am excited to start my life again. Thank you Dr. Miklos from the bottom of my heart.

'I am very grateful to have found someone experienced in surgical removal of TVT.'

Procedures: Laparoscopic Mesh Removal, Paravaginal Repair, Enterolysis, Laparoscopic TVT Sling Revision

'After struggling with mesh complications from my TVT sling placed on 8/23/07, I gave up on finding any relief from the medical community in Utah. I spent a small fortune on chiropracters, shaman, rolfers and other alternative therapies which helped me cope with the pain better.

Eventually the pain and urinary obstruction became more than something I could learn to live with and I needed help. After spending a fortune on specialists, MRI's, ultrasounds, cat scans and urodynamic testing I realized I needed to look elswhere for someone that understands mesh complications and has extensive experience in addressing these issues.

Dr. Miklos performed a laparoscopic removal of my TVT on 11/30/2010 and I am very happy to report that my issues have resolved and I have returned to dancing and my other physical activities that I enjoyed before my original surgery. I can also sit for prolonged periods again. I am very grateful to have found someone experienced in surgical removal of TVT. I am very happy to report that my quality of life is back to where it should be!'

'Dr. Moore was extraordinary.'

Procedure: Mesh Removal

'Dr. Moore was extraordinary. He really cares about his patients. When I met Dr. Moore during my consultation, he handed me a research paper that he had written regarding my complication and procedure. I knew then that I wanted to have my surgery done by a Doctor that teaches and educates others and not by a Doctor that is learning from someone like Dr. Moore. Prior to my surgery, I could not even tolerate an exam. Since my surgery, I feel so much better and I am very pleased with my progress. Dr. Moore and everyone at the practice was wonderful, I felt comfortable the moment I stepped into the office.'

'Thank you, Dr. Miklos, for giving me my happiness, faith in doctors, and peace of mind back.'

Procedures: Vaginal Mesh Extrusion Revision, Paravaginal Repair, Laparoscopic Enterolysis

Thank you Dr. Miklos, for giving me my happiness, faith in doctors and peace of mind back. Dr. Miklos was the only doctor who would dare touch me after an inexperienced doctor botched my bladder repair. Something simple turned into ANOTHER surgery. Dr. Miklos was fearless and jumped right in because he knew the root of the problem was not address by the first doctor. He never spoke ill of the doctor, but sat me down and explained to me and my husband why I was getting worse instead of better. I am almost one year out from my paravaginal repair and I am great. My marriage is back and so is my happiness. Dr. Mitchell, thank you for always nurturing me during my follow-ups. Thank you to the whole staff at Atlanta Urogynecology. Your practice is A+!

'Thank you again (Dr. Miklos) for your attention to detail, innovative ideas, work ethic, and competency.'

Procedures: Laparoscopic and Vaginal Mesh Removal, Paravaginal Repair, Enterolysis, Vaginal Vault Suspension

'I want to thank you again for doing a supurb job on my vaginal re-suspension last year. There aren't words sufficient to describe my gratitude.... I was in terrible pain when my OBGyn said "this is beyond my scope - you need to see a specialist" and gave me your name and number. I called, and your staff immediately made every effort to adjust your schedule so you could see me the next day. They even sent you a text message between your surgeries to communicate my issue. When we met, you spent an hour with us explaining the surgery in detail, the options, the predicted outcome and alternate outcomes and their resolutions. I was clearly in good hands. I scheduled the surgery for 2 weeks later, had excellent pre-op instructions and communication from the staff for insurance options and with pre-approval immediately. After the surgery, I opened my eyes to Dr. Moore, who was incrediblely kind and concerned even about a little piece of glue at the site of my laproscopy.... My post op visits were leisurely - never rushed with Dr. Mitchell and I grew to adore her!

Thank you again for your attention to detail, innovative ideas, work ethic, and competency. I am completely healed, play golf and enjoy other activites with complete confidence once again.'
