What is the wait time for an endometriosis surgery consult?
The short answer
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.
Wait times for endometriosis surgery consultations can vary based on case complexity, how quickly records are available, and current scheduling demand. We don’t schedule a consult first and request records 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. If we believe we may be able to help, we’ll proceed with scheduling a telehealth informational consult and outline possible next steps, including whether in-person evaluation or surgery in California may be appropriate.

Questions people ask next
All surgery questionsWhat happens before my consultation is scheduled?
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.
What records should I bring to an endometriosis consult?
Bring prior pelvic or abdominal surgery reports, pathology reports, imaging reports, and actual imaging files if available. Include a brief timeline of symptoms, treatments and their effects, prior diagnoses, and fertility history if relevant.
How do I get endometriosis surgery?
Getting endometriosis surgery usually starts with choosing a surgeon who can do complete excision. At our institute, a record-based telehealth consultation helps us determine whether surgery may be appropriate and what information is needed to plan safely.
What questions should I ask an endometriosis specialist?
Ask which diagnoses they are considering and why, and what records or imaging would change your care plan. If surgery is on the table, ask about excision, confirming what was removed, care for affected organs, success for your goals, recovery, and follow-up.
