I would NOT suggest Dr.Docasar to anyone. I was a patient for yrs & saw again this yr for the LAST time. I've been expressing my pain for the last 3 yrs or so..she made me feel it's normal--of someone my "age"...which is just now 34. I tried to tell her it was not...was affecting my life, work, keeping appts, my mental state, etc.. FINALLY, I agreed to HER only answer. Birth control & a bottle of Prozac. I went to a fertility clinic 2 months ago to have eggs frozen--figuring birth control was indefinite. The fertility doc(Eva Littman)said NO to birth control--let's FIND THE PROBLEM & fix it. I'm happy to report I have a laproscopy scheduled to fix my problem. Dr.Littman did the ultrasound herself(Docasar never did--always a nurse)--found a damaged left tube with lots of fluid built up--def needed surgery. Dr. Docasar makes you feel like you're over-reacting--birth control/Prozac is the answer for everything. I knew better. I'm someone who would barely take medication after surgeries...and this pain has turned me into someone who now gets any kind of Loritab, Percocet, etc..from friends--I slowly began to take more & more...I started smoking pot at times. I've never smoked pot--can't stand drugs...esp pot...do not like the way it makes me feel--so sluggish& unmotivated & sleep as soon as I smoke it(probably because I take several puffs & over-do it to escape the pain).. Don't misunderstand me--the times I actually take any pills or smoke is only about HALF of the time I hurt. I FEEL like a junkie, as I rarely even took Advil for a headache...but I def am not. I make it thru many, many cramps with nothing to help every month. It's just that after a few days & non-stop pain---my insides will be sore, my head feeling like I am a mental patient, etc...like I don't care to live--it is such a low feeling that I'm willing to take or smoke about anything.

I hope that people will read this and will refuse to stick with just one doctor for very long if they aren't taking a real concern for your health. I WOULD NOT recommend Dr. Docasar at all after my experience. I would, however, recommend Dr. Eva Littman!! She is a FERTILITY doctor that cared enough to help fix my problem. I was there to have EGGS FROZEN & my side comment of having pain & going on birth control was only a comment made as to why I was there to pay her to freeze my eggs. She could have said ok...and moved fwd with the procedure I was there to pay her to do. She did not. She CARED. She said..let's FIND THE PROBLEM. I feel so good about that. What a GREAT lady!! I hope someone reads this for a good referral to Dr.Littman and one NOT suggesting Dr. Docasar. Bottom line: LISTEN TO YOUR BODY and GET 2nd OPINIONS!!!
