I was provided with Dr Aspe under the pretext that I had ovarian cancer due to a mass attached to my left ovary.. He immediately decided I would have a 20 inch incision to remove the tumor and my uterus, Fallopian tubes and ovaries. He ensured a pathologist would be on-site to determine if my tumour/cyst was cancerous. When I asked if the hysterectomy was necessary his response was that I didn’t need it (as I didn’t want children). My dad was dying from cancer at the same time so the timing of my illness was devastating. I chose not to get a second opinion. I asked to keep my right ovary and not to have an epidermal for my surgery. I heard him, pre-op, ask his staff if they would turn down an epidermal for this surgery. Post-op he critiqued my use of morphine and when it was determined it wasn’t ovarian cancer but stage 4 endometriosis (and an accompanying endometrioma which he removed) he told me to google endometriosis. He also shamed me for keeping my right ovary, did not remove any endometriosis, and also informed me he also removed my appendix. Fortunately the incision was smaller- only 8 inches. But I am appalled with how I was treated both pre- and post-op and in the end I now realize the ovary and endometrioma could have been removed laparoscopically. I’m left w a big scar and no uterus for no reason.

Today, it is 4 years since Dr. Aspe Lucero saved my life. He did my optimal debulking surgery after diagnosing me with Stage III Ovarian Cancer. Over the last 4 years, Carlos is not just my doctor, he is my friend. He allows me to actively take a part in my care. He is caring and compassionate! Punctuality is rated lower, because you will rarely be seen on time...I am ok with that, because he does not rush in and rush out, he will visit and talk to you. I believe you have found a true gem in Carlos Julio Aspe- Lucero.

I love Dr Aspe Lucero! You will never find a more personable Dr. anywhere. He explains things thoroughly and gets you to explain them back so that he knows you understand. He also cares about you and your daily life.
While entering the OR for my hysterectomy he introduced me to each nurse individually which helped with the nerves! He has been my Dr for the last 3 years and I truly believe I would not be here if it wasn't for him!

He saved my life & I know he has my best interest - he appreciates my positivity yet is realistic.
He doesn't piss around & he is amazing. He's also human so of if things don't work out 100% - I know he did his best.
Thank you for your expertise, heart, patience & knowledge.
If we could rate nurses, Paula is a blessing. She's kind, smart & attentive. Perfect team including all the nurses on board.
Cancer is sinister, sneaky & vicious - I believe in timing & Dr Aspelucero is on it.

Dr Aspe-Lucero is an amazing doctor. He helped my daughter and I through a difficult time, when she was very sick. He has discharged her finally after a year or so of her illness. However, she still calls him her doctor. :-)
