Our physicians are dedicated to the evaluation and treatment of women with endometriosis. We are well-informed on the latest medical and surgical treatments for endometriosis, and we are prepared to work with each patient to develop an individual treatment plan.

Our vast experience with robotic surgery also allows us to successfully treat advanced stages of endometriosis, as well as treat women who have been told by other physicians they weren’t good candidates for this type of surgery. The clinic team consists of surgical specialists skilled in minimally invasive surgeries, including robotic surgery. Our team also includes dedicated fellows, nurses and nurse practitioners. Based on each patient's case, we may refer to specialists in reproductive endocrinology and infertility (REI), physical therapy (PT), pain anesthesia, pain psychologists, urology, gastroenterology and colorectal surgery.

Treatment for endometriosis falls into three major categories:

• Hormonal – any type of hormonal therapy to suppress the pain associated with endometriosis, including birth control pills, hormone IUD and aromatase inhibitors (a type of hormonal therapy that decreases estrogen levels in the body).
• Surgical – procedures include minimally invasive surgery to remove endometriosis tissue, cysts on the ovaries related to endometriosis, adhesions (scar tissue), and partial and total hysterectomies.
• Pain control – medical and behavioral therapies to manage pain symptoms.  These may include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications (e.g. ibuprofen), muscle relaxants, and neuropathic medications (e.g. gabapentin, amitriptyline).
