Hi! I went that same route to just go with my gynecologist for
treatment. But it became more and more apparent that she wasn't good at
treating endo. I am scheduled for surgery with Dr. Albee at the Center
for Endometriosis Care in Atlanta, GA in October of this year.

What state do you live in? Maybe I can help you search for a specialist.
