If you’ve been diagnosed with endometriosis, you may wonder what your next steps should be. Here’s a quick overview of some things you can do
If a doctor is not vetted by iCareBetter I would be depending on sheer dumb luck, and lots of Google research to learn about their expertise in endometriosis. Seeing an iCareBetter vetted doctor tells me that I’m safe, that I’m going to get some answers after all. Doctors’ profiles on the website are specific and honest about the doctors’ accomplishments and credentials. But most importantly, they are not vague which helps in finding the right doctor.
Before iCareBetter I had problems with uneducated gynocologist providers only offering lupron, birth control, orlissa, or poorly done surgery. But iCareBetter helped me find Vetted Doctors who practice gold standard for excision and post care. I like doctors being introduced based on their areas of expertise because I knew that if I had a special area of concern they would have the ability to at least consult with me about it vs me wasting valuable time.
As soon as patients know how iCareBetter vetting works it helps them decide on adequate surgical treatment with our clinic. In my country, many specialists claim to be experts in endometriosis because of the incidence of the disease and they try to monetize from it. The main problem all over the world is the lack of specialization and certification in endometriosis diagnosis and treatment. iCareBetter helps us certify true excision techniques, by reviewing and analyzing in a double-blind scoring system. It makes sure patients will get adequate surgical treatment.
I have had 3 endometriosis surgeries in the past and now I need another one. But this time I am waiting for a doctor in my area, Colorado, to get vetted by the iCareBetter system so I know I can trust them with my body. If no doctors in my region get approved, I would be willing to travel across the country to see an iCareBetter vetted surgeon.
