Dr. Andrea Vidali, M.D
Endometriosis Specialist, Obstetrics & Gynecology / General Obstetrics & Gynecology, Reproductive Endocrinology
City: New York, NY, USA
Philosophy: Current scientific evidence points to the coelomic theory of endometriosis
Medication: The approach to endometriosis has to be holistic and address not only the disease itself but also potentially associated conditions. At this time, since we do not have medical candidates for curing endometriosis, the first essential step in the treatment of endometriosis is excision surgery. Additionally, Dr. Vidali rely on hormonal contraception, preferably progestins either orally or in the form of IUD to control bleeding or adenomyosis-related factors, if present. He does not rely on GnRH agonists or antagonists as in my experience the risk profile and efficacy profile not better than progestins make them undesirable.
Approach to Persistent Pain: I would like to affirm that I follow all the patients I operate on until they are well. I see the patients periodically as long as necessary. I always have a plan post-operatively especially if history, lab work, and initial examination have highlighted the possibility of the coexistence of additional pain generators. I do recommend physical therapy to most if not all patients and rely on a network of physiatrists.
I can’t thank you enough for the wonderful job you did excising my extremely complex endometriosis in May. I haven’t felt this good in years!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DR.Vidaly . I’m 31 weeks pregnant thanks to you.
I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Vidali and his team! I needed a hysterectomy for adenomyosis related issues, a case that seemed confusing for my regular gynecologist. Although my insurance would have fully covered my surgery through my gynecologist, I did not have the confidence that he would have done as thorough a job so I went out of network to receive more quality care through Dr. Vidali. It was well worth it! Dr. Vidali’s team not only performed my hysterectomy, they also found that I had a chronic issue with appendicitis and performed a surprise appendectomy during my surgery as well, alleviating years of illness and uncomfortable symptoms that previous doctors had not identified or treated. The nurses were very attentive and provided me with excellent care during my hospital stay. I felt I was in expert hands with this medical team and I highly recommend Dr. Vidali to any patient seeking treatment for adenomyosis or endometriosis related issues.
