My experience with Seckin Endometriosis has been life-changing. Dr. Seckin and Dr. Goldstein from my first visit to many post surgery visit always took the time to explain and educate me about what they did and ways to continue to be healthy. After a month after my surgery not to have pain each month was something new to me and was amazing I have Dr. Seckin to thank for that. Dr. Seckin did wonders during my surgery - my endometriosis was a mess. I had complete faith that he would make be feel better and have no more pain after years and one horrible surgery before. Thank you for everyone at the endometriosis center!
Thank you,
Lindsey

Dr. Seckin is the most incredible doctor I have worked with in my entire life. At first I couldn't believe it -- a male doctor, and a surgeon at that, who is also an EMPATH? Unbelievable. He is the first doctor who took my pelvic pain seriously. His consultation was one of the most rigorous intakes I've ever had in my life. He even had me undergo a separate psychiatric evaluation, AND he identified an ultra rare spinal disease in the base of my spine as the cause of much of my pelvic pain! He isn't even a neurosurgeon! In fact, he's better with pelvic neurology than top neurosurgeons in NYC. He took care of my endo expertly, and has helped me begin my journey towards healing my spinal condition. His level of care and commitment to treating women with endometriosis and pelvic pain is incomparable. I only wish doctors could be even half as dedicated and thorough as Dr. Seckin. If you have Endometriosis, you must consult him. Even though he is out of network and may be unaffordable for many, endometriosis and chronic pelvic pain is one of those diseases you have to attack with expertise. It will be one of the best investments you make in yourself in your life. I cannot recommend him more highly.

Today is exactly 6 months post op from my Total Hysterectomy, Oophorectomy and extensive removal of Endometriosis (8 hours worth!). To say Drs. Seckin and Goldstein gave me my life back is a complete understatement. I feel years younger. My fatigue, pain, digestive issues, brain fog and so many other symptoms are gone. I found these wonderful doctors a few years ago when Dr. Seckin operated on my sister after a failed surgery performed by another, unaffiliated doctor. I went back and forth in pain and with terrible periods for a few years thinking…Am I being a baby? Is this all in my head? It’s a period! Everyone gets one. I can tell you without hesitation…if you are on the fence, don’t wait any longer. And look no further than Dr. Seckin and Dr. Goldstein. You will literally be in the hands of the most skilled and informed surgeons in the world when it comes to Endometriosis. I was so confident in their abilities that I slept like a baby the night before surgery and was not a bit nervous that morning. I knew my life would only get better on the other side…and it has - far beyond what I could have ever hoped for. Thank you again Dr. Seckin and Dr Goldstein.

From day one, it was clear that Dr Seckin, Dr. Goldstein and the team at Seckin Endometriosis Center cares deeply about their patients. Unfortunately, that has not always been the case when dealing with years of endometriosis pain. I had a laparoscopy in 2015 where it was determined I had stage four endometriosis. I was able to conceive and have my baby boy- grateful! After I stopped nursing him, I started to get intense pain and bleeding in between periods. I had a hard time going to work as a Massage Therapist, playing with my son, being romantic with my husband and I could barely commit to having social plans because I never knew if my pelvic area would cooperate. It has been a long journey and I was ready to end the cycle of birth control, different doctors and opinions. I just couldn't imagine doing this for years to come.
In 2012 I learned about Dr. Seckin while doing some research. At the time, I was 28 and just began dating my now husband. I mentioned to him how gr

First and foremost Dr Seckin, Dr Goldstein and the entire team saved me. Gave me my quality of life back. I have been suffering for years with Endometriosis, living with the the pain and misdiagnosis along with the mental health struggles that go along with trauma. Over and over I had endoscopies and doctors telling me it's a GI problem, it's in my head, and quite frankly no one believed me. With the opioid epidemic the ER visits that I had to make which some times were 3 times a week for pain management started to appear as though I was "drug seeking". It was disgusting, before they treated my pain they did a drug screen to make sure I wasn't already "high" or had high amounts of opioids in my system. I started to get anxious about going to get help in the one place that could help me. I started suffering silently and I would be in bed for days vomiting and ended up withering down to 95 lbs. I let the pain get so bad because I was scared to go to that place called the hospital fearing judgment. My mom is a nurse and she was fed up with the care i was receiving and then she went on a mission. A mission to find a specialist that could help me, save me. I am grateful I live in NY state and have very close access to NYC. This is where I found my saving grace. Seckin Endometriosis Center. I met with Dr Seckin and Dr Goldstein and immediately i felt validated. Dr Seckin looked at the images I brought from my two laparascopies in 2017 and 2019 and he pointed out all the Endo he saw. It was an aha moment! I felt relieved and validated. I was NOT CRAZY! I scheduled my surgery for excision which unfortunately got canceled due to Covid BUT I was finally able to get my surgery done May 13 2021. I IMMEDIATELY I felt relief. I was able to go to the bathroom like a human!!! They say excision is the gold standard but I say it is the platinum standard. The entire team including all the doctors and nurses at Lenox Hill Hospital were amazing. I felt safe and was cared for like never before. To all the women who are suffering, don't let a doctor take your insides out to fix you, this does not and will not fix you. Dr Seckin and Dr Goldstein i owe you the biggest THANK YOU. These two people gave me the opportunity to still have children if I want and they gave me my quality of life back. These two people need to be recognized and appreciated more than I could ever do. For all you women suffering please I beg you go see these two, you will never regret excision surgery with them they truly are the dream team. It also helps that Dr Goldstein is a Warrior herself, it makes the experience personal and the fact that you can talk to another women who understands is priceless.

I couldn’t be more pleased with my decision of choosing him to perform my surgery!

I first met with Drs. Seckin and Goldstein in the summer of 2019 and they literally changed my life. I had previously been told by my old gynecologist that I most likely had endometriosis which would cause me to have trouble in conceiving child. My husband and I tried for two years unsuccessfully. No real answers or solutions were given prior to meeting with the team at Seckin Endometriosis. Upon meeting with them, they ran through a list of symptoms to which I had all and then a game plan of how to remove the endometriosis through deep excision surgery. They made me feel comfortable like my symptoms weren’t just in my head or “not that bad” and it was an actual disease that needed treatment. They were extremely knowledgeable and competent in dealing with endo. After my first appointment, I read his book and researched his method of treating the endometriosis and I realized I was in the best of hands. The surgery went very well and they removed 13 lesions from my uterus in July 2019. My husband and I conceived our beautiful boy in October of 2019, who was born July 2020, and my endometriosis symptoms have pretty much disappeared. My husband and I are eternally grateful to Drs. Seckin, Goldstein and their entire team.

Dr. Seckin has changed my life for the better. No other doctor took time to listen to my symptoms and make me feel like there was hope for my condition. Along with Dr. Goldstein, he performed a multi-organ surgery with precision and grace. Not only were Dr. Seckin and Dr. Goldstein supportive throughout the entire process -- his team has been there every step of the way to take any questions I have had (pre and post-op). I cannot recommend Dr. Seckin and team enough!

From the very first call to Dr. Seckin's office, I was greeted warmly, with a caring and knowledgeable voice on the other side of the phone who explained every step of the process. Even in filling out the initial intake paperwork, I've never (finally) felt more understood, as the intake paperwork brought together all of the various areas of suffering I've endured, as part of the comprehensive picture of endometriosis.
Dr. Seckin and Dr. Goldstein themselves are some of the most professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate doctors, and skilled surgeons, I've ever had the experience of being around (and I train medical doctors for a living, so I've seen my fair share!). They have helped to change my life immensely, by fully understanding my case, my symptoms, and performing an intensive and complex surgery that has since taken away any pain I've experienced, including multiple other symptoms. They check-in, and truly care about their patients. I am so grateful.
