Not to make light of your frustration, but I think sometimes that finding a good doctor is just as hard as finding the right selection of hairstyling products for my curly hair.

I found the doctor I've been seeing by doing a web search. I am fortunate that we live in Ann Arbor, because UMich has an enormous teaching hospital, and this seems to make the doctors more aware of the latest and greatest information. This doctor is so nice, I almost feel guilty complaining to him, but he has taken me very, very seriously -- it's easy to understand why it can take up to 6 weeks to get an appointment with him. However, when I called to complain recently of pelvic pain, I was squeezed in to see him immediately.

Try searching for location and specialty (eg, endometriosis and maryland/virgnia/dc).

If a web search does not work for you, I'd also try asking every woman you know or meet. I belong to Mothers and More, and we are constantly pinging each other for doctor recommendations. Word of mouth is very powerful. And, too, you might be surprised how many women you know who have had similar experiences, and it helps.
