You can always call the endo assocation to see who they would recommend in your area for a second opinion.

Also have you checked out the Mayo Clinic they have doctors there that know quite a bit about endo.

Good luck,

Oops I meant to say that Dr. Miller is one of the best surgeons for endo. But dr. Tu is still great to help treat pelvic pain.

I recommend that you get a second opinion.
If you have blue cross blue shield I recommend Dr. Miller:

A great pelvic pain specialist to help you get your pain under control is
Dr. Tu:

He is one of the best!

Also there a surgeon in Pennsylvania-- Dr Toaff you could contact him.
