We Know
Your pain is real.
If you’re here, you’ve likely been dismissed, misdiagnosed, or told your pain is "normal". You may have had surgery that didn’t work, or even made things worse.
You may be wondering if anyone actually understands what you’re going through. We do. And we built this practice around patients exactly like you.
How we are different
High Tech meets Warm Touch
Careful listening, advanced technology, clear guidance - from first consult through recovery and beyond. Our approach combines robotic surgical precision with integrative, whole-patient care, treating not just the disease, but also helping you navigate your journey.
Dr. Steven Vasilev MD
Director, Lotus Endometriosis Institute
A career spent proving that precision and compassion belong together.
With over 30 years of surgical experience focusing on complex, multi-organ and re-operative procedures, Dr. Vasilev is quadruple board-certified and internationally recognized for advanced endometriosis excision. But what his patients remember most is that he listens.

Patient voices
From those we've helped
I live in Iowa, and they worked with me long distance via Zoom to discuss my condition and surgery. Dr. Vasilev has an insurance team who worked with my insurance to reduce my financial burden, and they succeeded! This surgery is life changing.
The results have been life-changing. My quality of life has drastically improved since the surgery, and I am now able to enjoy daily activities without the pain and limitations that endometriosis once caused. Dr. Vasilev’s skill and dedication have made all the difference, and I am incredibly thankful for his care.
They were there every step of the way, consistently checking in and making sure I had all the detailed information I needed to make an informed decision on how I wanted to proceed. My fears and questions were never minimized and I could ALWAYS reach someone before and after surgery.
