The problem with UPenn and the Drs. they are more into fertiltiy issues then treating endo. I have been told this in their office. If you want something more personal, you may not get this at UPenn. They are a busy teaching hospital with many severe fertility and endo cases. Many times they are too busy to address just endo issues. >
