This guy is a business man. He takes money from girls who have endometriosis. My surgery was a failure with him. He left me with so much pain. He left lots of endometriosis behind. He only cares about money. Dont go with him. Even Nancy peterson who recommends him also takes money from him to advertise his skills

Dr. Sinervo and his entire staff went above and beyond in my quest to claim my life back from endometriosis. I have never met a more knowledgeable and compassionate doctor.

I suffered from severe daily debilitating pain due to Stage 4 Endometriosis. Just 6 months earlier, I had surgery done with another doctor. This proved to be unsuccessful, as my endometriosis recurred quickly, and I found myself in the emergency room again with severe pain. I needed a specialist who knew how to get the job done. I researched and found Dr. Sinervo with the Center for Endometriosis Care. It proved to be a God send. My entire experience with Dr. Sinervo and his staff was excellent. They were everything you'd hope a health provider to be: caring, compassionate, knowledgable, and responsive. I am pain free now and have faith that this time, my surgery was done by a well qualified professional who was able to give me my best chance for renewed health and hope. Thank you Dr. Sinervo! Keep up the great work!

I am blessed to have been able to travel to Atlanta, GA to meet with one of the BEST of the best, a worldwide renowned Endometriosis Excision Specialist.... Dr. Ken Sinervo. Dr. S was my hope after 6 unsuccessful laparoscopic endo excision surgeries including hysterectomy, an endometrioma in my sigmoid-colon area and a bowel resection. Unfortunately, the surgeon who performed those surgeries was not a skill excision surgeon.

Dr. S is just the man I need to get my life back. I have true Faith in him that he will change my life as he took good care of me.

Dr. Sinvero is an incredible gift to women who suffer from this wretched condition. I have been a long time suffer of endometriosis since I was 15 I'm now 35 and feel like I might actually have a chance of living a life without pain. I'm 2.5 weeks post op and can already tell a difference! My sciatic nerve pain was immediately gone upon waking up. I didn't even realize the back pain I was suffering from so this was an added bonus! I know I have months of healing ahead but given what I've been through this is a walk in the park :) I love the research they did into adhesions and the precautions they take. His direction, patience, and lighthearted attitude of "hey we got this" was such a breath of fresh air. I was particularly impressed by the warm hearted and knowledgeable staff who gave me direction on any questions or concerns I had. Their research on adhesion prevention, and adenomyosis was particularly impressive and very helpful. I travelled from Kansas City so the excellent follow up care came very handy! This was the first time in my life I actually got the attention and care I needed from my condition. The Center for Endo was a place of safety and hope after enduring years of extreme pain and fear that every month I might have to go to the ER or pass out. Thank you Dr. Sinervo for your amazing staff, hard work, and research. Thank you for choosing this as your profession and for being there for my husband and I. Thank you for giving me hope that I can live a life without fear of pain!

After my daughter had two years of bouncing around from doctor to doctor- telling her that her symptoms were all in her head or they were normal for periods or that they were a gi issue- we found Dr. Sinervo. All along suspecting endometriosis for her, we were lucky to find such a doctor. My daughter was only 13 years old when she had surgery. Dr. Sinervo gave her every bit of respect and compassion she deserved- as well as his staff. She is only 3 months out from surgery - where he found endometriosis- and is doing wonderfully. Every symptom she had before is now gone. We cried at just having a diagnosis for her- which we finally received because we saw Dr. Sinervo. He and his staff continue to be a resource for us when we have questions.

Dr. Sinervo is my angel if I could put it that way. Finding him and having done my surgery with him gave me back a quality of life that for a long time I didn't know it still existed. I was supposed to have the surgery done in New York with another doctor, but somehow after some research and finding him on the internet I decided to fly to Atlanta for my first appointment with him. Immediately after the appointment and changed everything and had the surgery done with him. I'm so thankful to him and all his office personnel because they're very friendly, helpful, compassionate and knowledgeable about endometriosis, fibroids and adenomyomas. I have personally recommended Dr.Sinervo to two other friends and one of them ended up really needing a surgery, which she had with him and she's extremely happy because he helped her a lot. I do recommend Dr.Sinervo a thousand times if you have issues related to endometriosis, fibroids or adenomyomas. May God continue to bless this man and everyone that works with him.

There are way too many great things to say about Dr. Sinervo and his staff.
My husband and I traveled from Michigan to meet him and have him take care of my surgery. It was the best decision for my healthcare that I have ever made. The staff was very helpful when it came to traveling information and their website had extensive information on traveling questions. Anytime I called to re verify or ask another question there was never attitude, they were always glad to answer a question. With endometriosis, you ask a lot of questions because of memory fog. I know I repeated myself a few times but they didn't mind.
Before you become a patient, the office requires you to fill out extensive information about your health including a summary. I really liked the fact he wanted to know all about me and if he could help me. In the summary it was my time to tell him all the issues I was having. I don't know any doctors that ask for a throughout background before considering you as a patient. After I sent my packet in I got a phone consulatation from Dr. Sinervo himself, not a member of his staff. We had a nice conversation and gave me info to talk over with my husband because this was a big decision for us to make to travel all that way and take a chance. All the way from first conversation with Dr. S till my recovery time, he or a member of his staff was there. Even after all the paperwork, Dr. Sinervo did a complete checkup and asked many questions At the pre-op. His staff was very hospitable and answered any questions we had. His nurse DeDe introduced herself to me and went through the next steps for the prep visit. when you are feeling afraid and scared, she is the person you want to see. Never met her before but I really needed a hug. She gives really good hugs and slowly my nervousness went away. I knew I was in good hands. My husband and I left the post op completely comfortable with the surgery. My husband seemed pretty nervous about everything until he met the dr and his staff. It was great to both joke after the appointment and have a weight lifted off our shoulders, we knew we were in good hands.
I forgot to mention the office cleanliness. When you walk in the lobby is decorated very professionally. The doctors awards were proudly displayed on the walls for his patients to see. Yeah he's that good!
The day of the surgery, Dr S was right there smiling and happy to answer any questions we had. After the surgery Dr S personally called me to see how I was feeling and to see if I had any problems or questions. The follow up appointment was also throughtal. My only regret is I didn't do this sooner. Dr. Sinervo and his staff is an example of how all medical offices should be operated. Everyone was kind and made me feel they personally cared about me as a patient. They like to joke so it was nice to have a few laughs to lighten up the mood.
After surgery we were given a throughtal packet and surgery photos. A week or so after surgery I received the operative report. Since I am home from traveling to Atlanta, his office called a few times to see how the flight went and see if I was doing well.
I wish his office was closer, if I lived anywhere remotely close to the state of Georgia, I would have Dr. Sinervo as my doctor. I am just lucky enough to have found him. 5 stars aren't enough for this doctor and his staff. Kudos for doing it right! If you have endometriosis the next call you should be making is to Dr. Sinervo's office to see what you need to do for a consultation.
Thank you Dr. Sinervo and staff! You are all amazing!

I don't even know where to begin with Dr. Sinervo and his office staff. I traveled from Tallahassee to Atlanta to have surgery with dr. Sinervo after my doctor told me I needed a hysterectomy and felt that my case was too severe for him. I have never dealt with such a professional, compassionate, and organized staff. People have to realize the staff also makes a huge difference. Everyone from Trish, Jean, Ms DEDE (I love you) and everyone else made me feel so comfortable and always helpful and I truly appreciate it. After my surgery I experienced some other issues that extended my hospital stay but Dr. Sinervo came by 3 days out of the 4 days I was there to check on me which included weekends! I was blown away. He showed me that he really cared. I even missed my follow up appointment but he came by after surgery to have the follow up with me while I was still in the hospital. I cried tears of joy after he left and told my boyfriend not only did his office staff call and checked on me but he took time out of his busy schedule to come and check on us. Surgical wise I am healing well. I feel good... He was able to do everything my doctor was not able to do. This has been the best decision I have made and I thank you guys from the depth of my heart for everything!!!! I will recommend anyone and everyone to the CEC

Dr. Sinervo is such an amazing and compassionate doctor! I was greatly touched when He prayed with me pre-op and held my hand up until I went under anesthesia. Right there, I have confirmed that God led me to him and he is HIS instrument to help all the women out there including me, who has suffered from this dreadful disease (Endometriosis). He was very patient with me and answered all my questions and took time to listen. You won't feel that he is in a hurry and has this calming effect on you. You can feel that you will be taken care of and you are in good hands. I wish I could have Dr. Sinervo as my GYN but I live 3 hours away! The staff was and still is very accommodating, compassionate and great too! Kudos! - C & A Tobes
