I was seen by Doctor Allon as well and I also have PCOS and was not looking to conceive.
Seeing that you have pelvic pain, he may want to do a transvaginal ultrasound and maybe even an abdominal ultrasound. (Pap smear and maybe a pelvic exam. I dont know.)
When I first saw him, last year in August, my first visit was a consultation; where I actually got to sit down with him at a table and talk one on one about my issues and concerns.
I had three sheets of paper with me, full of questions, and during our conversation; I found that he was able to answer MOST of them.
Those that we didnt touch base on, I happened to ask and it was great!
I think I had him for a full 35 minutes and he was very informative.
He's also a PCOS Specialist. So, if you see him, you're in good hands.
That very same day, I had bloodwork done, a pap smear and pelvic exam.
Than, he had me go in at a
different day for a transvaginal ultrasound.
One month later, I had surgery to remove polyps and I'm now on Metformin 1500mg a day.
He requires that after you are put on Metformin for a month , you get bloodwork done.
Than, every six months, as well as transvaginal and/or abdominal ultrasounds.
But, every case is different, so it may be different from patient to patient.
In any case, the staff is really great and they put you at ease. Very professional and yet personable at the same time.
Anyway, any time I had a concern, all I had to do was email him and he would email me back within 3-4 days. (One time, it was a little over a week, but he got back to me AND CALLED ME INSTEAD. He apologized for the wait and went over all the questions I had emailed to him, one by one. So, I was thankful.)
In any case, you can always call a nurse, also. They are also glad to help you with any concerns or questions.
(And if it's after hours, and you would like to speak to the Doctor, the nurse will page him if it highly concerns you and he will call you back and talk to you the very same day.)
And he does surgery; along with biopsy's, laproscopy's, etc.
Anyway, here's his website.
