The CEC’s sole focus as a practice is on the surgical excision of endometriosis and minimally invasive gynecologic surgery; we do not sell products or offer other services i.e., obstetrics, aesthetics, etc. As a specialty center, we also do not provide primary care services. You are strongly encouraged to maintain your relationship with your existing primary care physician and all your other healthcare providers including your local ObGyn, as your care with us will be specific to your surgery. We do believe, however, that multidisciplinary care and support combined with Laparoscopic Excision (LAPEX) as the surgical cornerstone of an integrative approach to this disease can facilitate improved outcomes (i.e., nutrition, physical therapy and more). Thus, we are very pleased to have cultivated a network of professional colleagues who serve as resources to offer adjunct care to our patients both during surgery in some cases as well as postoperatively and at later points in their journeys if the need arises. Depending on the specifics of your case, you may receive care with one or some of our colleagues when you come to Atlanta for surgery with us and/or a referral thereafter for a regional provider. The following list is provided for informational purposes only and does not imply affiliation or endorsement. We are unable to suggest any providers beyond this list and encourage you to search out recommended physician referral sites such as RateMDs for additional resources in your area.
