at MUSC in Charles, SC. I am 36, married, and had my bilateral salpingectomy yesterday. I cannot speak highly enough of Dr. Powell. From the first time I met with her about long term birth control, sterilization surgery, and my reasons, options – she has been knowledgeable and respectful. She did her job, meaning that she asked me at all my visits if this is still something I wanted to pursue, as she is legally asked to do to avoid a regretful patient situation in the future. But she never belittled or discredited my feelings or bingoed me or put any sort of pressure one way or another. She was very professional during the entire situation and was on board with me doing whatever I wanted to do with my body.
