Patient Reviews
Feb 14, 2023
After having symptoms of endometriosis for 19 years and other doctors, Dr. Childs saw me quickly even though I was a new patient and expedited my care. He scheduled surgery ASAP and saved my life! I had suffered terribly for a couple of years with post menopausal bleeding, swelling, weight gain etc.
