(The Following is an excerpt from https://www.gynecosurgery.com/about-us )
“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’. “
Center of Excellence. Trained at the CEC. Able to do colorectal and lung and DIE. Accepts almost all insurance and so does hospital. Philosophy: “ Complete or optimal excision. We are a referral center, and work with colorectal surgeons, and urologists for advanced disease or DIE (deep endometriosis).We do have a clinic that deals with optimizing the non-surgical factors for achieving pregnancy eg. optimizing hormones and we have produced a unique, ‘food first’, evidence-based diet for endometriosis and believe diet is very important. We have at SLU a multidisciplinary Pelvic Pain Center, that we are a part of, that includes pelvic floor physical therapy.”
“We have Endometriosis patients from all 50 states, every Province of Canada, and 60+ countries.
Specialize in partial and full-thickness Laparoscopic excision of Endometriosis involving Intestines and Diaphragm.
When needed, there is Colorectal surgeon and General surgeon that I have worked with for a long time.
Full thickness excision/repair of diaphragm with No chest tubes or drains, using small incisions, outpatient.
Out-of-Network. No longer participate with Tricare.”
Patients with complex cases may need to seek out a surgeon with more experience.
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

Philosophy: “I was one of the original gynecologists recommending and performing excision – along with Harry Reich and others. We all “learned together” and I have done clinical research for 30 years, often involving medical and surgical treatment of endometriosis and postoperative pelvic adhesions. We have two boarded urogynecologists in my group, along with Physical Therapists experienced in pelvic floor therapy. We treat patients on a very individualized basis, every situation is different and requires a different approach.” Able to operate on DIE, bowel and lung endo. Takes all insurance.
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.”
Does some of own urinary tract and bowel work
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.”
