Kelley E. Haven, MD

laparoscopic bilateral salpingectomy on 28 year old female. Dr. Haven was AMAZING. I went in prepared with printed research and a written acknowledgement of my understanding of the procedure, and she was impressed. She expressed frustration over the lack of access to this procedure for women who want it and stated she believed in women’s autonomy of their bodies in all forms. She said the only thing that’s important to her is that I’m fully informed of the procedure medically and I’m making this decision of my own free will. She asked why I wanted it and I said I have never wanted kids, had been firm in my decision for over 10 years, and she said that’s great. She knows I’m under 30, unmarried with no kids and stated that those factors had no relevance for her. No counseling requirement or waiting period. She fit me in for the procedure within a week so I could have it done while I was on leave from work. Super child-free friendly and amazing bedside manner.
