“The New York Endometriosis Center is one of the leading endometriosis treatment and gynecologic surgery practices in the world. With our office in New York City and an advanced laparoscopic center at Greenwich Hospital in Greenwich, CT we are one of the top performers of laparoscopic procedures in the United States. Trained in medical and surgical gynecology at the world-famous Mayo Clinic, Dr. Kanayama is a leading specialist in endometriosis treatment, infertility evaluation and advanced laparoscopy. With over 3,500 successfully treated cases, he has earned an excellent reputation among his patients and gynecologic surgeons.
Dr. Kanayama offers clinically proven laparoscopic excisions of deep nodular endometriosis – which is a procedure performed only by a few dozen gynecologists in the US.
As the Director of the New York Endometriosis Center, Dr. Kanayama provides the highest quality patient-centered gynecology care. The individualized patient care offered at the New York Endometriosis Center is based on the philosophy of the Mayo Clinic – ‘our patients’ needs come first’. “
Philosophy: “We believe in a holistic approach. We start with a detailed History and Physical and a high suspicion for Endometriosis. If patient’s reported symptoms are suspicious for endometriosis, we then obtain a MRI for endometriosis. At NYU, we have developed a MRI protocol specifically for diagnosing endometriosis and our data has shown 75% diagnostic accuracy for endometriosis lesions. We then discuss with the patient whether or not we should proceed with surgery. We only perform surgical excision. In addition, we have a team of physicians including acupuncturist, fertility specialists, nutritionist, pain management, pelvic floor physical therapists and a team of colorectal, thoracic as well as urologic surgeons that help us treat deep infiltrating endometriosis. Our goal is to optimize the patient’s pain relief as well as fertility prospect and give them back the life they deserve without pain and suffering caused by endometriosis. We have a team of surgeon, including thoracic, colorectal and urologist that work with us closely to provide optimal care to the patients. Our Acupuncturist – Lara Rosenthal, works closely with our patients. She has a great interest in both fertility and endometriosis and has been incredibly helpful with our patients seeking treatment. We truly believe in a holistic approach.” Claims to accept all insurance- contact the provider’s office for more details.

Dr. Sherman J. Silber is one of the only surgeons worldwide to offer the Osada Procedure, an alternative to hysterectomy in women with adenomyosis who wish to preserve their uterus. Bowl/urinary tract surgery: Does own urinary tract work.
“Dr. Mosbrucker feels strongly that both pelvic pain and the urogynecologic issues need to be addressed with a multidisciplinary approach that embraces the “bio-psycho-social model”. She has developed an informal consortium of various specialists, all with interest in caring for patients with pelvic pain or incontinence. This allows for multiple providers to support the patient’s needs with an approach based on each one’s background and experiences. Physical therapists, pain management specialists, counselors, GI specialists, and surgeons all bring something different to the table, and it is her belief that the patients get better and more complete care when treated by a team rather than one single provider.” -http://pacificendometriosis.com/about-us/
