Specialist consultant

[Vicki_mc]

Hi! I’m after some advice please. Can anyone give me a name of a endometriosis specialist and how I go about getting referred to see them? I have no clue at all. But I’m reading a book called ‘ the doctor will see you now’ and I want to find someone who can perform laparoscopic deep- excision. This is meant to be the best way to help treat endo and I would do anything to find someone who can perform this!

Thank you 💛💛

Hi Vicki_mc,

In the first instance, you could ask your GP if they know which local gynaecologists are interested in endometriosis or pelvic pain.

We are unable to recommend specific specialists, surgeons or treatment centres for legal reasons. Additionally, we are also aware that one person's experience and needs of a consultant can hugely differ from another. We recommend that women to seek out institutions that have been peer-reviewed by other medical professionals and deemed centres of excellence. We feel that a good place to start looking for this information is through the British Society for Gynaecological Endoscopy (BSGE) website.

The BSGE accredited specialist endometriosis centres have consultants who are specialists in the field of endometriosis. The centres are reviewed annually:
