The problem with burning is that it doesn't get all the endo, and then
it can bother you more :(
There are a couple of docs that as I last understood it, do take
insurance...the travel might be worth it...
Dr Robbins
endoexcision.com
Dr orbuch does not have her own website, but her info is on ratemds.com
i think
(first name iris, in new york on spring st, if you want to google her)
Dr Seckin in NYC did take insurance at one time, i wonder if he still
does?
endofound.org
the CEC does not take insurance, but does work with you on being
reimbursed - they're worth the $
