Can anyone recommend a good doctor, specializing in endometriosis?
I live in the Columbus, Ohio area and am especially interested in someone who could perform excision surgery. I was diagnosed with endo 7 years ago, and have found all the hormonal treatment options not especially helpful and with awful side effects... I've already had 2 surgeries and have seen 4 or 5 different doctors, and I feel like I'm hitting a brick wall in my options. I'm really frustrated and depressed over the lack of relief from this condition...

It is unlikely you will find anyone in the OH area who truly excises the disease. The specialty centers that do perform excision are few and far between, but it is often a worthwhile investment in your health and future well being to invest in travel to a specialist, rather than to keep going to subpar gyns who continue to medically suppress and repeatedly perform vaporization and other superficial surgical removals. The closest to you are the center in Maine and the other in Atlanta:
There is also a group at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/EndoDocs that can be helpful in assisting you with finding someone. There is a so-called specialist with the initials of TJ in your area, but he is in fact NOT an excisionist and he uses Lupron etc. like all the other non-specialists.
Good luck to you!
