What His Patients Are Saying:
"Dr. Eugenio-Colon was outstanding and walked my wife and I through the long process of how to deal with and treat her extensive endometriosis. Dr. Eugenio was awesome in being very frank and candid and explained everything clearly and concisely. We had no second guessing and quickly made the decision to travel four hours to have the procedure done."
"My endometriosis diagnosis truly stopped my life in its tracks. From the initial in person appointment, Dr. Eugenio-Colon made sure my family and I understood my diagnosis and the potential possibilities given how complex my case was. After an 8 hour surgery and a 5 day stay in the hospital I finally felt this huge weight being lifted off my shoulders. Dr. Eugenio- Colon is extremely knowledgeable and thorough in his assessments. I appreciate how personable and compassionate he is during his course of care. Although my significant other and I had to make tough decisions in terms of future family planning, Dr. Eugenio-Colon was very respectful of our choices and did his absolute best for a successful future. I am grateful to him and the entire CEC staff for all of their hard work and dedication to their patients."
"From my first appointment to my pre-op tests and exams, and from my 11-hour surgery to my post-op appointment, Dr. Eugenio-Colon’s care has been second to none. He’s an impressive educator, effectively sharing complex information in an understandable and accessible way. He’s an incredibly patient and skilled surgeon. But most importantly, he’s compassionate, personable and encouraging. During my post-op appointment, he said he always thinks ahead to the future during surgery. He asks himself, “What do I need to do today to set us up for the best outcomes if I need to come in and do another surgery? How can I leave things better than I found them?” And that’s what makes Dr. Eugenio-Colon great. That’s exactly what he’s doing every day for his patients — leaving each of us better than he found us. I’m eternally grateful for Dr. Eugenio-Colon and consider myself extremely blessed to be under his care. I know this surgery likely isn’t the end of my endo journey, but I’m much more confident in the future thanks to Dr. Eugenio-Colon."
"Dr. Eugenio-Colon is the most amazing doctor I could have asked for. When I was growing up I was told time and time again by my doctors that my symptoms were "normal" and refused additional testing. I hit my final straw when I was told that my pain wasn't worth surgical examination and that they'd just give me Lupron. I reached out to Dr. Eugenio-Colon's office without a referral and was treated amazingly right from the first call. Everyone is kind, supportive, and understanding. My first appointment was a shock to my system after years of subpar treatment. He sat with me in his office and talked me through all of my symptoms, why they might be happening, the potential causes, the treatment methods, everything. He showed me diagrams and comparisons of healthy vs damaged tissues. After my physical exam he even ordered me pain medication for me to take before my ultrasound to reduce the pain those caused me. He has a way of making you feel immediately comfortable and safe. He preformed my first surgery in 2019 and my second surgery in 2020. By the end of 2020 I was finally successfully pregnant and in 2021 I was able to deliver my incredible son naturally. I believe wholeheartedly that without this doctor I wouldn't have been able to conceive. Now we are planning to move forward with my hysterectomy since my family is complete and I couldn't be more thankful to have such a kind person to handle my care again. Thank you so much for everything you do!"
"Dr. Eugenio-Colon is an expert in chronic pelvic pain because he actually listens to his patients to put all the pieces of the puzzle together to formulate the best treatment plan & then executes the plan with an open mind, caring heart, & skilled hands. He puts quality of his patients lives first & foremost which is why I would recommend him to any woman or girl experiencing unexplained pelvic pain. Thank You, Dr. Colon, for choosing this specialty. Thank You for raising the bar of standards in women's health care. And thank you for treating me & my pain."
"Dr. Endometriosis (Eugenio Colon) is a life saver. After a botched hysterectomy and endo removal at my local hospital I found Dr. Endo online. A five hour drive and 10 hour surgery left me feeling alive again! He makes sure you and your family understand everything. Don't waste time, call his office now! Finally pain free!"
