Thanks for sharing. I have heard nothing but positive things about her and her skill :) Glad you are doing better
I had endo excision surgery with Dr. Cindy Mosbrucker ~ she spent 6.5 hours in my pelvis dealing with endo, adhesions, bowel resection and pelvic organ prolapse...I flew several states away to see her as she seemed the most qualified for my extensive situation and I must say she is an amazing surgeon who gave me back my life...I will never be perfect because I have dealt with this endo beast for over 20 years...but I a better then I have been in a LONG time!:)
Seeing an endo excision specialist is key or at least it was for me!;) Just thought I would share this since I have direct experience with one of the mentioned surgeon's!:)

Thanks so much for your quick reply! However, I should have specified that I'm looking for specialists in the Washington DC area, and the ones you listed are for Washington state. Luckily I'm not yet so desperate for help that I need to get on a plane for treatment. ;) Are there any specialists on your list for MD/DC/VA? I prefer MD since that's where I live, but DC and VA aren't too bad of a drive for me either. Or if there's a forum or database you know of where I could search for this info myself could you provide a link? I had a hard time finding a comprehensive list of endo specialists online anywhere - seems like it's all word of mouth.
There is a top specialist located here. I have lots of good things about her.

Please note: Dr. Bird has been included on the map based on feedback/surgical photos from a patient who had mild endometriosis. We therefore cannot confirm whether her expertise extends to the management of complex cases. It may be, for example, that she can manage cases of mild/minimal endometriosis via excision but patients with complex cases may need to seek out a surgeon with more experience.
I hope that helps
