Dr. Kathleen Essel, MD

Dr Essel was so very kind about doing a procedure that was a bit painful She was very thorough in explaining everything I needed to know about my condition. I will always return to this office when I need treatment for any Gyn issues. She is absolutely the best!

I was very impressed with Dr. Essel. She was very easy to talk to and she explained everything very thoroughly and in terms I could understand.

I just had a GREAT experience as a patient of Dr Essel, it was my 1st time meeting her. She has such a profound way of understanding her field of medicine & how to connect with a patient's needs/sensitivities, she is a major asset to Promedica!! She took the time to carefully examine my charts/imaging/labs, then asked the right questions to find the source of the problems vs surface symptoms. She was in no hurry to do surgery after examining evidence 1st. Though I do appreciate the expediency of the 1st Gyno in addressing potential cancer risk & how quickly I was referred and seen by a specialist such as Dr Essel. I felt comforted & more confident in my future knowing Im in her care.

A C125 test was ordered after having extreme pain back in Nov. 2018. The numbers came back high, and I was sent to OU on the assumption of having possible ovarian cancer. After the Laparoscopy in December 2018, I was diagnosed with stage 4 Endometriosis in January 2019. Dr. Essel and I went through a lot of different options to either slow down the growing of both the cysts, or tried shrinking. When nothing worked, we finally decided that it was time for a full hysterectomy. She was trying to dodge this because I'm 29. She was concerned I would regret it. She was very caring on every appointment I ever made with her (and there was not on my end). Once I had the hysterectomy that she preformed, she was able to tell me that she got all of the the endo out of my body. She's an amazing doctor. If time was reversed, and I knew about the present, I'd choose her in a heartbeat. (If you are reading this, I don't regret it).
