What is the wait time for an endometriosis surgery consult?

Topic:Surgery
Affected areas:pelvicabdominal

Wait times for endometriosis surgery consultations can vary based on case complexity, how quickly records are available, and current scheduling demand. In our process, a consult isn’t scheduled first and records requested later—we begin with a preliminary review of your symptoms and the medical records you can provide so we can tell you directly whether a consultation is likely to be meaningful.


The fastest way to move forward is to submit what you have (prior operative reports, pathology, imaging reports/images if available, and a brief treatment history). After that initial review, we’ll let you know what—if anything—is still needed and, if we believe we may be able to help, we’ll proceed with scheduling a telehealth informational consult and outline what next steps could look like, including whether in-person evaluation or surgery in California may be appropriate.
