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.”

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. 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/
