“Dr. Radtke was the first provider who ever told me, 'It's your body, and I respect whatever choices you make.' That comment sealed the deal, and I knew I had the right physician to provide care to me.” — Katherine, Norton Women’s Care patient. Last December, Katherine was experiencing pain and went to the emergency room with what she thought was a kidney stone. Later, she found out that she actually had a 12.5 cm diploid cyst on her right ovary. She was referred to Steven J. Radtke, M.D., FACOG, FMIGS, who recommended a total hysterectomy. Katherine explained that choosing to have the procedure was daunting, but Dr. Radtke and his team gave her the confidence and reassurance she needed to move forward. Looking back, Katherine felt the surgery was the best decision she could have made. The minimal discomfort post-surgery surprised her, and she quickly returned to her normal life. Katherine expressed her gratitude for Dr. Radtke, Kerry W. Curtiss, APRN, and the entire Norton Women’s Care team.
