Anne,
I don't know where you are in GA, but there are two Drs. in Atlanta
that are specialists in Endometriosis that are skilled Laparoscopists.
They are with The Center for Endometriosis Care. Their website is
http://www.centerforendo.com. The Drs. names are Robert Albee and Tom
Lyons. Dr. Albee is my Dr. and I think the world of him!
If you go to their website, there are directions on getting in with the
Drs. If this isn't for Endometriosis, and you are not seeking treatment
for Endometriosis, you can call Dr. Albee's office for an appt.
Hope this helps.
