I am from NYC and as such, I have had the best doctors in the world. It's pretty common for people to fly to NYC because it's known to have the best doctors. That being the case, I am very picky and do a lot of research before I trust a doctor outside of NYC. I was suffering terribly from a condition that no doctor could solve without doing major invasive surgery, which I did not want to have. No doctor in NYC, L.A., Miami, and New Orleans. Until I met Dr. Von Almen. I went to him as soon as got off of the plane from seeing my doctor in NYC, who once again couldn't help me. I just walked into his office and begged the nurse to ask if I could see him same day, that's how dire my condition was. He, being the loving, kind, amazing human that he is, said yes. And he took one look at my bloodwork (that I came in with) and within 2 seconds, (no exaggeration) he told me that he knew why I was still having the problems I was having and told me he could fix it without major invasive surgery, just a minor surgical procedure. That's right. And that's what he did. Dr. Von Almen is simply the best gynecologist out there, anywhere. He takes the time to really think and not just give a standard, simple answer. He takes the patient into consideration and what their wants and needs are. He is so intelligent, kind, caring. I love him. And when I move from NOLA, it's highly likely that I will fly in just to see him. That's how good he is.
