Optimal restoration of anatomy with miminal tissue trauma and excision of all visible disease, followed by multi-disciplinary follow-up as needed for recalcitrant symptoms, including but not limited to metabolic/gut, naturopathic and holistic remedies, including use of cannabinoids and novel new therapies.

I don't prescribe or recommend these medications as primary treatment, but will consider if patient has ongoing pain after optimal excision.
Laparoscopic Hysterectomy certainly has its place, especially in patients who are not preserving fertility with uterine issues (tender cervix, abnormal bleeding, adenomyosis). But it's not a cure for endometriosis as I am certain all folks on this site know :)

We have a Davinci robot at our west side location and many surgeons prefer (and some are dependant on the technology) - that said, robotics will not make a bad surgeon, but can make a great surgeon better.
I prefer the use of straight stick laparoscopy as many of our international colleagues utilize, as the haptics and high quality optics are more important for me than wristed instruments.
Until we implement Ai and automation, the robotic platforms will continue to evolve, but the anatomical knowledge, clinical judgement, surgical wisdom, and meticulous technique define success.

if known bowel invasion or thoracic endo, I refer to our hospital based colleagues-

As much as we all hate to see it, some patients do have recurrence and we must address each patient based on individual goals and needs.

I've been living in the Pacific Northwest since 2000.
My wife Rose and I love to travel in our van, I adore the outdoors from camping to hiking to skiing. I am a bit of a foodie, and I love music. I also play guitar and sing in a "jam band" in my free time.
I love what I do, and 2 of the most amazing parts of my work are helping couples achieve pregnancy esp in the face of endometriosis, and curing patients of debilitating pain.
