kaiser in So Cal does not have an Endo specialist. I have been going
around and around with them for 2 years. They are not even educated
with endo at all. One OBGyn will not even see me anymore. He has told
me that my sciatic pain, my leg pain and my constant side ache is no
longer an OBGyn problem, and he can no longer help me. This is the same
doctor that did my surgery and found the endo and told me all my
symptoms are due to the endo. Good luck with Kaiser and please let me
know if you find any other solutions!!
