Is Dr. Vasilev a cancer doctor or an endometriosis surgeon?

Dr. Vasilev is in full-time practice helping patients with endometriosis. He also happens to be a fellowship-trained gynecologic oncologist who is an expert in MIGS surgery. So that training background doesn’t mean his current practice is focused on cancer care. It reflects very advanced surgical training in complex pelvic anatomy and challenging operative situations, including scar tissue and recurrent disease. In addition, beyond the training that average gynecologic oncologists go through he has additional training and experience derived from mentors in urologic oncology and general surgery, as well as a ten-year extensive experience in collaborative multi-disciplinary surgeries as Director at the City of Hope.

That expertise translates directly to endometriosis and adenomyosis surgery, where it’s often critical to operate safely around the ureters, bowel, bladder, nerves, and major blood vessels, and to make sound decisions in densely scarred tissue. Today, our team’s work is dedicated entirely to endometriosis and adenomyosis care, and we welcome you to reach out if you’d like to discuss your symptoms and surgical options.
