Dr. Sinervo is an excellent doctor. He is very knowledgeable about endometriosis. This was my 4th surgery, my last surgery was removing my ovaries. That surgeon did not fully remove my ovaries. Dr. Sinervo removed both ovarian remnants, freed my intestine and colon from my pelvic wall. Plus he removed my appendix as it was covered in endo and not healthy. He listened and answered all of my questions the day before and he came to see me the following day in the hospital. If you need a surgeon to remove Endometriosis I would highly recommend Dr. Sinervo!

He treated me calmly, and knowing my mother had disowned my son and I the night prior he held my hand until I want to sleep. It meant the world to me. He also visited me the next day, and went over what he had done. He listened and helped me. After 16 years of being called crazy, being told it was in my head, that cramps just hurt, to the next year having 4 surgeries, the 4th one with him, it felt like I was finally heard.

It's been seven months since my surgery with Dr Sinervo and team. That day in May 2017 changed my life from one of constant pain, strong narcotics and poor quality of life, to a full, pain free life. Dr Sinervo is hands down the most emphatic, kind and caring medical professional I've ever met. It helps that he is a top expert in endometriosis care, but his bedside manner goes above and beyond anything I could ever hope for. From my first contact with him and the staff at CEC I was completely confident that I was in the best hands. All of my questions were answered thoroughly, I was never rushed, and we could talk openly and honestly about the pros and cons of things that were not a straightforward decision.

From the very first visit with Dr Sinervo he was pleasant, informative, reassuring, and hospitable. He eased mine and my husbands minds every time we spoke with him. Prior to being put in contact with Dr. Sinervo, I had 3 previous surgeries related to Endo. However, I had never found relief from pain and I was always made to feel like it wasn't that bad so I shouldn't be hurting, or that I was making everything up. I had surgery last week by Dr Sinervo, and immediately waking from surgery I noticed something different, I wasn't in that bad of pain to had just been operated on. Even during my stay at the hospital, my nurses were pretty shocked at how I was managing pain.. I really wasn't feeling much. After getting home, I started to feel a little more pain, however I have continued to heal better and faster than any surgery before! I can already tell that as soon as I am healed up I will be in great shape... no more endo pain!!! This is such a relief and I am so thankful for Dr Sinervo and his staff! I am so excited to get back to normal life and not have endo effecting every move I make! My husband and I want to try for a family in the near future, and I have such high hopes now. Thank you Dr Sinervo for being the Dr that you are and truly caring about your patients! You have been a blessing to me and my husband!

Dr. Sinervo has been helping me with all my endometriosis needs, as well as other medical issues such as fibroids, and polyps for a few years now. Last month we had my last surgery and I am getting better every day and regaining my health and my life. Without him I was very weak and tired from anemia. I owe my life to him and thank God for such a great physician. He is the best for endometriosis..

Dr. Sinervo performed my surgery in 2015. We are so lucky to have the CEC in Georgia. I love how the CEC helps advocate for those who suffer with endometriosis. I was given great care and I have had a number of improvements since surgery. Dr. Sinervo was a very kind and humble doctor. I could see the compassion in his eyes and I truly believe that he cares so much about his patients. I am very thankful.

I am blessed beyond words to have received care from Dr. Sinervo and his team at CEC. I had my surgery on 8/23/2017 and couldn’t possibly thank Dr. Sinervo and his entire team enough for going above and beyond in providing excellent care throughout the process. Dr. Sinervo is highly skilled surgeon with deep and thorough understanding of the disease. He answered all my queries, doubts and questions very patiently and put my mind at ease the very first time I met him. I had stage IV endometriosis with large ovarian cysts and was very anxious and nervous going in for surgery. Dr. Sinervo put my mind at ease once again by explaining the procedure in detail, customizing my treatment plan and answering all my concerns in pre-op meeting. He also prayed for me prior to the surgery. His knowledge, surgical expertise, compassion and his genuine concern for his patients’ well-being is unparalleled. He is by far the most skilled, considerate and compassionate doctor I have ever come across. I truly wish him and his team tons of success in the future and hope and pray that CEC continues to help and mend lives of women who are suffering from this debilitating disease.

May God continue to bless you and your team, Dr. Sinervo!
