1000 East Primrose Street, Suite 210 Springfield, Missouri (417). Body-positive, no judgement for overweight or obese patients. 28, not married, I hadn’t been to a gynecologist since I was 17 due to lack of insurance. Today (2/22/22) was my first appointment with Dr. Rooney. When I scheduled my appointment, I made it clear I wanted to discuss sterilization options. She performs bilateral salpingectomies and informed me of what the procedure consists of and said it’s a permanent form of birth control and said that her nurse will call me on Thursday to schedule the surgery. I told her I was fully expecting to fight for the procedure, and she simply stated that if a patient of hers wants to be sterilized, it’s her job to inform them about the procedure and complete it- not to dictate whether or not they want kids. Overall was an extremely good experience, and I definitely recommend Dr. Rooney for anyone in the Springfield area!
