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”.

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.
