At a follow-up appointment at Valley Hospital in Paramus, NJ, my previous endometriosis surgeon, Dr. Howard Jones failed me completely as a doctor. While waiting in the exam room, I heard the woman who did my intake tell Dr. Jones that I was there to discuss pain management options with him.

I heard it all and from my understanding, he then proceeded to say something along the lines of "What, does she think that she's going to just come in here and walk out with a bunch of pain scripts?"- implying that I was nothing more than a "drug seeker", rather than a chronically ill individual struggling to survive my endometriosis. I immediately got dressed and walked out of the office sobbing hysterically.

I've been dismissed by doctors for my pain many times and have so much medical trauma that I expect most doctors to fail me. However, I did NOT expect this from a doctor who claims to "focus on treatment of pelvic pain and endometriosis" on their online Valley Hospital physician page.

A Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery Director is supposed to be someone who is capable of providing endometriosis patients the care they deserve, not someone so uneducated on the endo experience that they believe we are nothing more than "drug seekers".

If you are in the area, please avoid Dr. Howard Jones, the Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery Director at Valley Hospital in New Jersey for your endometriosis care AT ALL COSTS. No one should experience this.
