I went to Dr. Antonio for help with pelvic floor dysfunction, and surgery was recommended very quickly. I wasnโt fully sure, so I got a second opinion, which advised against surgery. Even so, I decided to go ahead with it. Unfortunately, the surgery did not improve my conditionโit made it worse. What used to be painful at times became constant, day and night. My symptoms didnโt go away, and my quality of life declined. I also felt there was little acknowledgment of the side effects after surgery and very limited support to help improve things afterward. Iโm sharing this so others can be more informed. If your visit ends with surgery suggested for pelvic floor dysfunction - I encourage you to take your time, get more than one opinion, and look into doctors who offer conservative treatments like pelvic floor physiotherapy. I hope this helps others make careful decisions. Wishing you good health. Note: This review is shared in multiple places so it can reach those who may need it. It reflects my personal experience with the doctor, not the hospital.
Great center and a point of reference for the proctologist diseases. Dr Antonio Privitera is an outstanding doctor and I will never stop to say thanks for his help. Doctor able to think out of the box
I was admitted to hospital with lower left abdomen pain, and they helped diagnose the problem. God bless you all.
Very professional medical staff! Dr. Antonio is very qualified. Great experience! extremely recommended.
