Melissa Elaine Groves, MD

26F, unmarried/no children. Bilateral salpingectomy done October 2023. Dr. Melissa Groves is fantastic and anyone would be lucky to have her as their surgeon! I first asked at my well-woman check with her in August. She had to do the legally required “you know this is permanent?” but never bingoed me. I had my tubes out 2 months later! She made me feel comfortable and empowered every step of the way. She understands how liberating this decision can be for some people! Best decision ever! Thank you Dr. Groves! Surgery itself was technically covered 100% by insurance as preventative care performed by the primary surgeon and hospital, but had to pay a portion of assistant physician’s fee, as well as pre-surgery bloodwork and office visit copays. Overall my insurance was billed a total of approximately $20,500, and I only had to pay about $860 for everything (counting 3 pre- and post-op office visits, bloodwork, surgery itself, pain medication, and pathology, etc.) Very happy! 10/10!
