We discovered I had an abnormally large fibroid in my uterus which was causing discomfort and prolapse symptoms. When my gynecologist referred me to Duke to Anthony Visco, M.D. for a second opinion, I knew he was the surgeon for me.

Dr. Visco was booked out a few months but when my doctor expressed urgency due to the size of my fibroid, Dr. Visco's office arranged for me to come in the next day. His bedside manner and confidence in his craft was very impressive. My husband and I had many questions and options to discuss and he was very detailed and patient. He never rushed us due to his busy schedule. He actually stayed late to finish our consult.

My surgical experience couldn't have gone better. Dr. Visco was very conservative in his approach to treating my prolapse. I appreciated that so much!

I can't say enough about how professional and kind Dr. Visco is to his patients and their families. He is wonderful!
