Testimonials
Je me permets de vous adresser ce message pour "l'anniversaire" de mon opération effectuée par vos soins en novembre 2024.
Je souhaitais vous remercier pour votre suivi et pour cette opération qui a changé ma vie depuis.
Plus de douleur, plus de contrainte de traitement, et le goût de la vie qui revient.
Un grand merci en ce jour particulier pour moi!
To the whole team, a message to say thank you and share some good news...
Firstly, I am no longer in any pain, which is fantastic and feels amazing!
Secondly, I am pregnant!!!
You might say we didn't waste any time... And yes, it worked naturally on the first try, it's incredible, we still can't quite believe it...
In any case, you perform miracles and thank you for existing!
Thank you again for the operation. I feel alive again, and it's all thanks to you and your amazing team.
Thank you again.
Thank you, you are incredible.
All my pain has disappeared, especially the intense pain I felt in the lower right side of my abdomen. Thank you so much. I have regained a great quality of life and a lot of energy thanks to you.

Thank you again,
Thank you again for all your valuable advice, your attentiveness, your professionalism, and your good humor (as well as that of your entire team) during this tumultuous journey, which has ultimately made us even stronger!
I won't say "see you soon," but I hope to have good news for you in the near future.
During a surgical procedure performed by Dr. Donnez, I was pleasantly surprised by the simplicity and efficiency of the procedures, which were carried out with a great deal of humanity.
During the procedure, the kindness and skill of the teams were reassuring and allowed me to get through it with complete peace of mind. The post-op period was the same. Thank you for everything.
Professor Donnez, I wanted to tell you that I don't know how to thank you for everything you've done for me. Thanks to you, I feel alive again. I really don't know if you realize how much you've given me a second chance at life... I owe you so much... I am truly grateful to have been treated by a professional team like yours...
In my misfortune, I was extremely lucky to have found you and to have received such prompt and effective care!
I had my period last week, and everything was perfect, no pain and much lighter than the last two cycles! In fact, I still can't believe that I can live normally while I have my period... You were right again! I hope all my future periods will be like this! Or that soon they won't come at all and I'll contact you with good news...
Thank you so much, I can't thank you enough... It's so incredible, unimaginable...
I came here to have surgery for endometriosis lesions.
I wanted to share some very good news with you: I am almost four months pregnant. We had no problems at all, it happened extremely quickly!
I wanted to thank you once again for your professionalism, your support, and your reassurance regarding the preservation of my fertility.
I wish you all the best for the future.
Prof. Donnez, I wanted to thank you for the time you took during our last consultation. Your clear and detailed explanations helped us better understand the options available to us regarding our desire to have a child.
Your attentiveness and your clear and kind manner of presenting things greatly reassured us and helped us to better understand these steps.
We were very touched by your professionalism and kindness.
Thank you again for your words.
I'm writing to share some feedback regarding the results of my surgery.
Well, it turns out the surgery was quite effective! I am currently 23 weeks pregnant with a little boy. You were right when you said that the first 4 months would be the best time to get pregnant; it ended up happening after only 2 months!
I can't tell you enough how grateful my husband Gabriel and I are. I haven't felt this good in a long time, and am still in disbelief that I was finally able to get pregnant after such a long road of infertility and pain - and so shortly after the surgery!
Coming to Avignon for surgery was the best decision we could have made, and I'm so grateful to you for taking me on as a patient when you are already so busy. It's unfortunate that I couldn't get the care you provided me in Canada, but now the south of France will always hold a special place in our hearts!
I'm sure you're told this all the time, but you have a gift - and I (along with so many other patients, I'm sure) am so grateful to you for choosing to dedicate your career to this disease.
You've changed my life.
I have 12 years of experience and a health journey. The current secretary is incredible. She listens, is clear and human! The gynecological exam is the most respectful I've had in my life (I'm 40). Yes, you'll have to wait for the appointment, but I prefer a competent, human specialist who welcomes you in good conditions to a botched appointment. You get the feeling that he's someone who's been trained and has taken an interest in women's issues, in all that this includes as far as the specialty is concerned. He also has the advantage of being in touch with a network that can meet the other needs of the situation.
You operated on me, and it took a while to get back to normal between the period when I had to catheterize myself and the two months in the hyperbaric chamber for healing.
But that's all in the past now. I spent 2024 pain-free and was amazed at how insignificant periods could be.
Living a normal life even during your period is something you can't really appreciate until you've experienced it!
Anyway, the main purpose of this message is to announce that I'm going to be a mom
Thank you once again for everything you've done for me, for listening and for your kindness.
Professor Donnez saved my life. He was kind, a good listener, explained the disease very well and in detail, the procedure, the advantages and what to expect afterwards... he used a reassuring and reassuring vocabulary!
It's now been 3 months since my hysterectomy, and at 47 I've become a young woman full of life: no more pain or bleeding, I go to work without feeling sick to my stomach, I've resumed my sporting activities... In short, I'm living again!!!!
My infinite thanks to Professor Donnez, an excellent surgeon, both professionally and humanely!
I wanted to write to express once again my gratitude to you and your entire team for the care you have given me. I'm grateful for your expertise, attention to detail and availability, and I'm glad it was you who operated on me. I was nervous, but not particularly afraid, because I knew I was in good hands.
I'd also like to thank the nurses at the clinic who were so lovely to me and incredibly kind.
I just wanted to say thank you for everything you've done. Your empathy makes a real difference in the lives of people like me, and it's priceless. I am deeply grateful.
Please take care of yourself.
I had adenomyosis, and I organized my life according to my cycles and the associated pain. I spoke to your colleagues about my pain, but they didn't listen.
I turned 40 on February 6 and had to meet you to finally be taken seriously. You can't imagine the impact of your words, the relief when you agreed to bring forward the operation
For several months now, I've been enjoying this pain-free life every day, where pleasure has regained its rightful place.
I'd like to thank you for changing my life (I'm sincere, I'm not exaggerating). In fact, I've regained my strength, I've taken up sport, I've got back my social life and I've rediscovered my joie de vivre, much to the delight of my loved ones. My only regret is that I didn't contact you sooner.
Thank you and your team for your attentiveness, your kindness and everything you do for women who, like me, have lost hope.
Thank you so much for giving us this chance to be heard and recognized in our pain.
Since the operation, I've been living again, and I can tell you that my mid-life crisis has been marked by renewal and joie de vivre!
Dank u wel meneer
Hello Professor,
I'd like to thank you and the whole team who took care of me, and even those I passed in the corridor who were smiling and ready to help. A motivated, enthusiastic team, always doing their best to achieve patient satisfaction and relief. I was pleasantly surprised by all the benevolence emanating from the caregivers and even from the administration via the stretcher-bearer. Such emotional and physical support. I know I'm a strange bird, with a reaction to stress and the unknown that's a bit odd and can be frightening or surprising. Thank you to the whole team and to yourself for presenting me with a long-term solution and for your patience. It's really admirable.
Sincerely
I can tell you that I'm much better, the pain in my buttocks has practically disappeared. My bowel movements are back to normal. This operation has changed my life. I no longer have vomiting attacks or pain in that area.
Thank you for everything you've done. You've been THE doctor who listened after 10 years of medical wandering, with a caring secretary
. I wish you all the best.
An incredible doctor, he's really serious, meticulous and listens to his patients. He chooses his team (just as great) with care, he gave me back confidence in the medical profession and saved my daily life by giving me a quality of life I didn't even believe in anymore.
You can go there with complete confidence.

Hoy hace un año (24/08/2022), tuve el privilegio de ser operada por la eminencia del doctor Olivier Donnez en la clínica @urbainv_elsan una clínica privada pequeñita pero la tercera en toda Francia para tratar la endometriosis.
El Dr Donnez es uno de los mejores especialistas a nivel mundial en endometriosis y su especialidad es preservar el sistema reproductor de la mujer.
Mi esposo y yo deseamos reconocer y agradecer una vez más el trabajo efectivo, profesional y los resultados tan avasalladores de la primera operación y del tratamiento recomendado por esta eminencia. Gracias a la clínica @urbainv_elsan y a todo el equipo de trabajo que estuvo en el bloque operatorio. Gracias a Gaël quien estuvo asistiendo al Dr en mis dos intervenciones. Gracias al asistente de anestesiólogo quien trataba de distraerme para que dejara de llorar antes de entrar a la primera operación. Gracias al equipo de enfermeras y enfermeros, en especial a las que amenme bañaron (primera vez en mi vida) y al enfermero que se apiado de mi dolor y me dio morfina para poder descansar . Gracias al equipo del turno de la noche que acudían cada vez que les timbraba (MUY SEGUIDO).
También deseamos agradecer a los tres enfermeros que tuvimos a disposición en casa. A la señora que a pesar de que no había espacio me sacó cita para hacer mi resonancia magnética y a la Dra Zivile quien fue la que remitió al Dr Donnez.
Cuando escogí a este Dr no sabía quién era, ni tampoco me puse a pensarlo mucho. Tuvimos dos opciones y de la mano de Dios, mi intuición tomé la decisión rápida. Y as usual una decisión implacablemente exitosa. Ah tampoco fui a consultar con mi esposo, él confía en mis decisiones y sabe que sé tomar decisiones y rápido. (Hay gente que se piensa la vida y la vida les pasa)
Gracias Dr Donnez, el tratamiento fue un éxito estoy 1000% libre de endometriosis. Si conoces a alguien que tenga está enfermedad dolorosa que no se lo piense mucho que vaya a Francia y se opere con el mejor equipo, con una atención especialidad.
Dear future patients from France and elsewhere,
I hope you will find in my words those who need encouragement and support to find the best solution and treatment - an excellent medical practice, a wonderful and warm experience from start to finish as a foreign patient.
I received exceptional care from start to finish.
Many thanks to Dr. Olivier Donnez and his team! I will definitely recommend you to the community of which I am a part.
I also appreciate the quality of care and the relationship with the entire Elsan staff. Their kindness to help and their smile could be seen behind the mask. The gentleness with which they treat the patients and their concern for the health of the patient, is a spirit within the medical team ELSAN V-Avignon!
Congratulations ELSAN V-Avignon for having such a professional on your team!
With gratitude for the experience
