Dr. Steven McCarus
Dr. McCarus is well-known for his adhesiolysis surgery. It is unclear whether he possesses a similar expertise in endometriosis excision.
Stars: AEEP ranks providers in five key areas and assigns stars accordingly. An endo doctor receives one star per each of these that are made evident:
- excises endo with wide margins
- majority of patients have endo *
- keeps post-surgical outcome statistics
- published/ presented work, peer-reviewed * (GnRH, Pain Management)
- usually avoids GnRH agonists
These criteria are based on our own experiences and research. Our goal is to maximize the chances of restored functionality. Talk to your doctor to see what treatment is right for you.

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.

Is able to operate on Deep Infiltrating Endometriosis with an assistant surgeon.

Philosophy: “We treat every patient individually and separately, based on different factors, type of endometriosis, her goals, etc.”

Dr. Orbuch is one of the leaders in excision surgery in the country. Runs a New York office as well.
New York contact information:
“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/

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
