What happens before my consultation is scheduled?
The short answer
Before scheduling your consultation, our team completes a brief review, typically of your symptoms and any medical records you’ve shared. If your history and goals appear to be a good fit for our care, we’ll proceed with scheduling. We’ll let you know if we need more information.
Before we schedule your consultation, our team completes a brief preliminary review to understand what you’re experiencing and what information is already available. This typically includes reviewing your symptoms and any medical records you’ve shared, so we can guide you to the right next steps.
If your history and goals appear to be a good fit for the care we provide, we’ll schedule your consultation and outline what to expect from the process. If we need anything else to make that decision, such as additional records or clarification, our team will let you know so we can keep things moving efficiently.

Questions people ask next
All general questionsWhat is the wait time for an endometriosis surgery consult?
Wait times for an endometriosis surgery consult can vary with case complexity, record availability, and scheduling demand. We first review your symptoms and available records, then schedule a telehealth informational consult if we believe we may be able to help.
Do I need a referral to see an excision specialist?
In most cases, you do not need a referral to start the process with our excision surgery team. We review your medical records before scheduling a telehealth consultation. If your insurance requires a referral for out-of-network benefits, that is a separate administrative issue.
What can I do today while waiting for an appointment?
If you’re not in an emergency situation, start tracking pain, bleeding, bowel or bladder changes, and what makes symptoms better or worse. For short-term comfort while you wait, many patients do best with heat, gentle movement, and pacing activity.
When should I seek urgent evaluation instead of waiting?
Seek urgent evaluation for severe or rapidly worsening abdominal pain, fever, fainting, heavy bleeding, chest pain, or shortness of breath, which can signal an emergency. If testing suggests very bulky, widespread disease, it may be wise not to wait and see.
