“Dr. Miklos and his staff made traveling to the states easy to have this procedure done.”
I did a lot of research on the internet on which procedures were available for my condition. I chose this procedure because it made sense. This procedure seemed minimally invasive and had the quickest recovery time. Dr. Miklos and his staff made traveling to the states easy to have this procedure done.

“My Experience Couldn’t of Been Better”
My experience was amazing! I had neovaginal surgery shortly after I was diagnosed with MRKH. Dr. Miklos and his staff were so kind and patient with all my questions and concerns. The environment was very comfortable, but also extremely professional. I have absolutely no complaints about my experience with Dr. Miklos!

“Thank you for ALL you have done for my daughter and our family”
Dear Dr. Moore, and Staff,
Thank you for ALL you have done for my daughter and our family. Our long, and what seemed like, a hopeless road, has become a hopeful and happy one!! Thank you for always answering our questions, texts and emails!! Your patience and loyalty to your patients is unlike any other medical practice we have dealt with! I can’t thank you enough. Our Atlanta experience was difficult, but because of all of you, it was positive and wonderful.
Dr. Moore, you are a saint. Your expertise, sensitivity in dealing with emotional times and talent make you a gift in your patients’ lives. Thank you so very much. We sent our best wishes to you all for a wonderful 2014.

“I want to thank you all so much for everything you all have done for me”
I want to thank you all so much for everything you all have done for me. You have literally changed my life, and I can not express how thankful I really am. I feel loads better today, and I’m sure it will only get better.
Again thank you all so much for this past week and all those months before. Your calls kept me calmed and informed about what was going on, and you all are by far the best doctors office ever in communication! This whole experience has definitely helped me grow as a woman and a person. Your office is what made this experience positive instead of traumatic. I have already ranted about how great my experience has been on my group MRKH sites, and I look forward to keeping in contact with you all. Have a great rest of the summer and God bless!

“MRKH- Couldn’t have had a better experience!”
I was diagnosed with MRKH in the spring of 2012 and my mother found Dr. Miklos online. Within weeks we had a set surgery date for August in Beverly Hills for a neovagina creation. Still confused and scared, Miklos and Moore made the entire process seamless and comfortable. The procedure and recovery went exactly as planned, and I’ve never had any issues as far as dilation or being sexually active are concerned. Their office provided plenty of support post-op and now, seven years later, they are assisting me in finding specialized reproductive endocrinologists in my local area. I can’t say enough about the doctors and their entire staff- both in Atlanta and LA. Everyone we’ve spoken to along the way has been overly helpful and extremely nice. They truly know how to make a tough situation comfortable. Thanks again for your work, doctors!

“Thanks to Dr. Miklos and Dr. Moore my life both physically and mentally has changed”
I was told that dilating was my only option, but that was not the case. Thanks to Dr. Miklos and Dr. Moore my life both physically and mentally has changed. Dr. Moore seemed very at ease about the procedure and clamed all my nerves and worries about the procedure. Unfortunately, after the packing was removed scar tissue formed and I had to undergo another small procedure, wherein post-op more packing was put in. Dilating soon ensued after that bout of packing was removed, but unfortunately once again I hit another snag and more scar tissue formed where I had to undergo more surgery to remove it.
After all of this, though, I am incredibly grateful to Dr. Moore and his team. I was only about 2 cm pre-op and post-op I was 11cm. Due to dilating and pelvic physical therapy I was able to stretch the tip of the vaginal canal to 13cm. I consider myself a real woman now that can lead an average sexual life. Once again due to Dr. Moore’s and Dr. Miklos’ team and the advances in medical science I would not be where I am today, and that is a true woman.

“They are miracle workers!”
I did not feel like a woman at all. My diagnosis freaked me out. I tried dilation for many years and I still couldn’t have normal sex. I felt abnormal since I didn’t have a vagina and my labia were huge! I had surgery with Dr Moore and Miklos and it went great. They are miracle workers! Now I feel like a woman.

“GREATEST EXPERIENCE!”
When I was diagnosed with MRKH(age 15) I initially went all over NJ to search for a doctor I felt could properly help me. When I found Dr.Miklos and had my first phone consultation I knew I found what I was looking for. He was very knowledgable of MRKH and he made me feel very comfortable! He is the best surgeon in neovagina creation! The Atlanta office was also very helpful throughout all of this and kept me in touch for five years before I finally had the Davydov procedure. After my surgery Dr.Miklos and his nurses visited me and were only a phone call away whenever I needed something.

“It’s been 3 years, it doesn’t seem possible!”
My daughter graduated from high school last spring and is now a freshman in College! She remained very active throughout high school. She spent a month in Alaska the summer following her surgery hiking throughout the Denali Range. She continued to sail competitively and won the state championship the spring following her surgery as well.
At some point along the way she had the opportunity to use her new anatomy and hearing nothing to the contrary I assume all was well! She and I had an agreement that she needn’t share details unless necessary and as the mom I was happy to be on a need to know basis!!
I think about Dr. Moore often and in fact just saw him in a magazine being honored as a doctor of distinction! Though we don’t often talk about the diagnosis, the procedure, the complications and the recovery both my daughter and I realize that without Dr. Moore her life would be quite different today and for that we are forever grateful.

“I would highly recommend seeking out the care and services of Dr. Moore and his team”
In my 27 as an RN working in areas which have included cardiac critical care, oncology, home health and hospice care, I have observed what the very best in the delivery of health care can be and unfortunately at times what it should not be. Atlanta Center for Laparoscopic Urogynecology not only met our high expectations, they exceeded them in every way possible. From the initial phone contact, to the call received from Dr. Moore a few days later for the purpose of discussing my daughter’s possible treatment plan, to the office consultation, surgery, and follow-up care – every team member we encountered demonstrated the utmost in professionalism, respect, knowledge, competency and empathy. The kind caring and sincere interest in my daughter achieving a successful outcome continued upon our return to our home state as staff continued to call, write and e-mail. Dr. Moore and his staff went out of their way to ensure optimal coordination of care upon our return home by consulting with our local provider via phone discussions in a very timely and highly receptive manner.
To say that my daughter and I would highly recommend seeking out the care and services of Dr. Moore and his team would be an understatement. They think of everything, including arranging for rooming accommodations for those who require surgical intervention and post-operative follow-up. Traveling to Atlanta from the West Coast seemed daunting and over-whelming but Dr. Moore and staff were so welcoming and helpful, that any inconveniences were easily overlooked.
Congratulations to the physicians and staff of Atlanta Center for Laparoscopic Urogynecology as they have achieved superior delivery of care and services and could serve as model for other health care providers.

Mayer-Rotkitansky-Kuster-Hauser Syndrome
Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser Syndrome, also known as MRKH, is a congenital disorder (meaning – born with) which affects 1/5000 women and can be associated with kidney, skeletal and hearing disorders. MRKH is not hereditary or genetic, it is a birth defect that occurs during fetal development and only occurs in females. There is no known cause and there is nothing a mother did or can do to prevent this from happening to their unborn daughter.
The disease is also known as vaginal agenesis or mullerian agenesis. Most commonly, for unknown reasons, it affects the development of the reproductive tract, specifically, the cervix, uterus and vaginal canal but women with MRKH usually have functional ovaries which are often not seen by radiologist on MRI, CT scans or ultrasound. MRKH causes the vagina and the uterus to be underdeveloped or absent, conditions also known as uterine agenesis and vaginal agenesis. If these conditions are present the young woman will not be able to have menstrual periods and this is what often prompts her to see a physician, thus, most women are diagnosed with MRKH between the ages of 14-18 years.
An MRKH patient is a genetic female with normal female chromosomes (46XX) and normal ovaries and, therefore, develops normal external female characteristics, including breasts and normal appearing external vulva and vagina. She has the physical appearance of a woman because she is a woman!! Examination and studies typically reveal the lack of a vaginal canal or a very short one that would not tolerate intercourse. The diagnosis is one that is very difficult for many young women emotionally to handle, however, the good news is that there are treatment options to allow MRKH patients to achieve full vaginal length and a normal sexual life. Women with MRKH are usually unable to carry a pregnancy, they may be able to have children through other reproductive technologies. There is much hope for the future for patients with MRKH desiring pregnancy as medical, scientific and surgical technology advancements are produced at a lightening pace in the 21st century. Most women who are recently diagnosed with MRKH at a young age address their primary concern, sexual function, first. Drs. Miklos & Moore offer the least invasive and the most effective surgical procedure known for the creation of a vagina, aka, Neovagina. Both doctors have been performing the laparoscopic Davydov Neovagina since 1999 and have had greater than 97% success rate.
