Endometriosis Support Group

I came across this doctor through a Google search. Go figure! I can't tell you how much hope I felt reading their website. They really treat women with the respect we deserve, and look at the whole person, not just "painful periods." They treat endo as a multi-system disease, which I really resonated with as I have a multitude of symptoms in addition to the pain.

Since the doctor was booked a month out, they suggested I make an appt. with the nurse to help me manage my pain until I could see the doctor. Every single person I came into contact with was so genuinely nice and incredibly caring and compassionate. They're also super professional and run a very tight ship. The nurse, Linda, knew more about endo and was more helpful that any doctor I had been to previously -- and I've been to a lot! She also had a lot of good ideas related to my other symptoms, she didn't just focus on the pain, though pain was a main focus. It was a very fulfilling appointment. I haven't had my appt. with the doctor yet but from my experience thus far I feel confident in giving them a very high recommendation.

Definitely check out their website. There's a ton of great info. Here's a short blurb about the doctor:
