Hello,
I’m looking for recs for endo-smart docs in the Baltimore or in Maryland for my 15 year old. She has what may be endo symptoms like clockwork since she started menstruating 2 years ago (e.g., stabbing side pelvic pain midcycle, horrible debilitating cramps for first 24-48 hours at start of cycle, misses school each month). Ultrasound shows nothing. I am trying to gather info before her 16 yr check up in late August so i can get her pediatrician’s input and try to find a GYN who has the training needed to assess, diagnose and treat (if this is in fact endo).

In lieu of recs on specific doctors, I’d benefit from what to look for not in a surgeon per se (that is well covered on the iCare website and Nancy’s Nook), but what to look for in a GYN when it comes to training and experience. Maybe it’s the same thing? When I google “endometreosis specialists Baltimore” I find plenty of docs, but i have no idea what they’re basing this claim on.

Thank you!
