I also heard about Dr. Tureck online. He was my Dr. for over three years. He performed the last 3 out of 7 endo surgeries. Dr. Tureck removes endo by laser ablation. He is nice, but very busy at a infertility teaching hospital. My pain and irregular bleeding still persisted. Dr. Tureck did not know why I suffered irregular bleeding. I went to an endo excision surgeon who performed surgery number 8. He stated, all my deep implants remained. I was diagnosed with adenomyosis and provided treatment to help the irregular bleeding. If your pain still persists, I would suggest a second opinion with an endo excision surgeon.
