The reviews listed below were collected independently of Advanced Women's Care through rater8. Each review represents an authentic and verified patient experience.

Dr. KSL welcomed me with a nice handshake, he spoke and explained clearly with a drawing, he provided me a couple of options to choose from, and spoke in a manner that reduced my anxiety about my condition and increased my confidence in his ability to treat my condition. . I forgot to ask him about the technical term of the procedure that I chose, though.

I have to say I was nervous going into this appointment! Dr Lybarger was a pleasant surprise and made me feel at ease instantly! He answered all of my questions and was very open and honest while bringing laughter into a stressful time! If I could give more than 5 stars I would!
