Dr. C.Y. Liu
Does some of own urinary tract and bowel 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/
Dr. John Dulemba does some bowel work (but brings in a colorectal surgeon for resections), does his own urinary work, does diaphragm work, and works with a thoracic surgeon for lungs. He is always challenging the status quo. Dr. Dulemba does a “second look” surgery on his patients shortly after the first surgery.
Dr. Dulemba is a former helicopter and fixed wing pilot who enjoys skiing and his car (a Tesla). He absolutely LOVES the Steelers. Other than that, he says, he has no other hobbies. “Endometriosis/ adhesions are my life”.
“Too many patients/women do not know about this disease. I also think early intervention is so much better for women.”
Dr. Diakos works with a multi disciplinary team ( colorectal surgeon , urogynecology).
She says that people with endometriosis need “education , recognition and referral to a specialized endometriosis center. Knowledge is power. Women for too long have been told pain is normal and have been dismissed”.
Dr. Diakos enjoys skiing in the winter and sailing in the summer and speaks some Greek.

Extensive research background. Is able to operate on Deep Infiltrating Endometriosis. Philosophy: “My medical practice is characterized by my underlying philosophy of treating patients with respect and dignity. I use a comprehensive, open-‐minded approach to providing leading-‐edge health care. My reputation as an endometriosis specialist was earned through my surgical skills and results following successful treatment of some the most difficult cases of endometriosis via laparoscopic excision surgery. Complete surgical removal of endometriosis is an essential step in achieving successful treatment outcomes. I believe that surgery is only part of the answer to restoring the health of patients with endometriosis and pelvic pain. I employ a multidisciplinary approach, utilizing leading edge, traditional Western medicine and alternative integrative medicine, combined with an open mind and trust in the patient. Treating this complex disease has not only resulted in my becoming a better physician, it has made me an expert in treating an array of less complex conditions as well.”

Formerly practicing in Utah, Dr. Arrington joined the CEC in 2018. Dr. Arrington performs his own urinary tract work and performs some bowel work (shaving of the bowel and discoid resections). Segmental resections are conducted by an assisting surgeon.
Studied under Dr. C.Y. Liu
“Dr. Arrington is recognized as a regional and national expert in advanced excision of endometriosis. Since his fellowship training, he has continued to challenge his knowledge and surgical skills to help patients with “hopeless” cases of endometriosis. By caring for patients with this disease, he and his staff understand what you have been through. They understand the frustration, hopelessness and fear that so many endometriosis patients have experienced and are prepared to help.” – endowest.net
