Dr. Polan is a wonderful doctor. She made a very scary situation ( a rare occurrence for a fibroid to show up after a hysterectomy 14 years later) easy to understand and she told me everything up front. She was very knowledgeable and very supportive of my concerns about having a total hysterectomy. I definitely would recommend her to anyone facing similar situation because she listens and is thorough.

There wasn't a wait. I was seen a couple of minutes before my appointment time. Everyone was very nice. Dr. Polan checked my gynecologist's report, examined me and made sure I understood the procedure she was recommending. I experienced first hand why she has received rave reviews.

Hi, yes. For the most part, I enjoyed my visit with Dr. Polan. It was my first time visiting with her and having an appointment with her. I don't know her that well, but my visit with her was good. I'm looking forward to my next visit with her and hopefully can give a higher rating based upon that experience. She did give me some additional information and tidbits that I wasn't aware of prior, so I'm very pleased with that particular aspect of my visit.

The provider should take just a little more time to talk with the patient because the provider is new to the practice and is replacing a former physican. At the end of the appointment the provider should walk the patient out to help them feel more comfortable.

This is a new doctor for me, so basically I have had no experience with her except this last visit. Again, I waited too long. Every doctor seems to keep you waiting. I think it's a little bit long to wait a half an hour for a doctor past the time or actually 45 minutes past the time I'm supposed to be there. I just don't like spending my time waiting in an office half naked. So I think you need to put your visits closer together or something and get through them a little bit faster. Thank you.

The people in this office are always really good about giving me appointments when I need them and I don't have to worry about waiting for a long time. Also, Dr. Polan is the best doctor I've ever seen in any practice. She really listens. She cares. She tries hard for her patients, and I just, I really like her a lot. Thank you.

4 Common Questions About Gynecologic Cancer—Answered
The gynecologic oncologists at Wellstar care for women at all stages of life, treating a variety of conditions with compassion and offering advanced care options. Our team are experts in treating cancers such as uterine, ovarian, cervical, vaginal and vulvar cancers. Here, we answer common questions about gynecologic cancer care with the help of Dr. Rosa Miller Polan, a gynecologic oncologist at Wellstar Cobb Medical Center.
What is a gynecologic oncologist?
Gynecologic oncologists are specialists trained in the multidisciplinary management of patients with cancers of the female reproductive tract. Trained originally in obstetrics and gynecology, gynecologic oncologists treat patients with complex benign gynecologic issues, as well as gynecologic cancer patients who may need surgery, chemotherapy, immunotherapy or a combination of different treatments.
When should you seek care?
Gynecologic cancers have different warning signs. When a person experiences concerning symptoms, a physical exam, including a pelvic exam, should be performed. Cervical and vaginal cancer symptoms include abnormal vaginal discharge, vaginal bleeding and pain. The most common warning sign for uterine cancer is abnormal vaginal bleeding. In postmenopausal women, any bleeding or spotting is abnormal and should prompt an evaluation.
Ovarian or fallopian tube cancer symptoms include bloating, constipation, pelvic or abdominal pain and difficulty eating or feeling full quickly. Vulvar cancer symptoms include itching, burning, discoloration, and new bumps or lumps on the skin outside of the vagina.
Who is at risk for developing gynecologic cancer?
Women who smoke cigarettes are at elevated risk for cervical, vaginal and vulvar cancer development. People who are immunosuppressed and those who have tested positive for the human papillomavirus (HPV) are also at increased risk. Genetics can contribute to the development of uterine, ovarian or fallopian tube cancers and these types of cancers can run in families. Obesity and use of hormone replacement therapy can put women at risk for the development of uterine, ovarian and fallopian tube cancers. A history of infertility, endometriosis and pelvic radiation are also risk factors for developing gynecologic cancer.
What services are available at Wellstar?
At Wellstar, gynecologic oncologists provide comprehensive care for patients with gynecologic cancers, including administering chemotherapy and performing surgeries when needed. As high-volume pelvic surgeons, gynecologic oncologists also care for patients who need elective and emergent complex benign gynecologic surgery.
For many patients, robotic-assisted surgery offers a minimally invasive approach with less associated blood loss, shorter hospital stays and fewer post-operative complications. Gynecologic oncologists are some of the top users of the innovative DaVinci 5 robotic surgery platform. Performing complex gynecologic cancer surgeries, minimally invasive or otherwise, requires the type of highly specialized and multidisciplinary teams that work at Wellstar—and an infrastructure of resources to ensure patients have access to best-in-class care in their own backyard.
