Philosophy:
Medication: Medication is tailored to each patient, taking into account their unique medical circumstances and indications. This personalized approach considers factors such as the patient’s current health status and past medical history, prior experiences with medications, and individual management goals. I utilize non-narcotic pain relief medications such as NSAIDS, gabapentinoids, and SNRI/SSRI medications for central pain desensitization and hormonal regulation when appropriate. Every medication option is presented to the patient along with a thorough explanation of its intended goal and potential risks. This process is done in close collaboration with the patient, respecting the patient’s preferences and addressing the patient’s needs.
Approach to Persistent Pain After Surgery: Similar to my approach to treating endometriosis, my approach to managing persistent pain after surgery is personalized. Before proceeding with surgery, I engage in individualized patient counseling to review the risk of persistent or recurring pain. This approach recognizes that for some patients, endometriosis excision surgery is a single facet within a broader spectrum of care that may involve central and peripheral pain management, pelvic floor physical therapy, gastroenterology, pain management specialists, and dietary modifications. My ultimate goal is to alleviate the patient’s symptoms and improve the patient’s quality of life.

Philosophy: I believe that the origins of endometriosis lie in the metaplasia theory and can also be influenced by genetic predisposition and environmental factors, and toxins, which can promote its evolution. Endometriosis is also an inflammatory condition, with autoimmune elements as well, which predisposes these patients to sensitivity to other inflammatory triggers. It is therefore important to counsel these patients on how to improve their environment in regards to the foods they eat, products they use, and habits that can better serve them. My approach to treating these individuals encompasses a holistic evaluation and streamlining of all aspects of their health and daily life.
What type of surgery do you perform for endometriosis?:
Excision
Medication: I utilize anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen and Celebrex, as well as neuromodulators, pregabalin, and gabapentin. I also recommend compounded vaginal suppositories containing Valium, Baclofen, and Lidocaine. In addition, some patients also benefit from trigger point nerve injections. The use of any and all medications is carefully tailored and managed by the pain management physicians I work closely with.
Approach to Persistent Pain After Surgery: Treatment of all co-existing pain generators must be focused both pre- and post-surgery. Treating the chronic centralized pain, tight pelvic floor muscles, GI and Urologic issues, coexisting autoimmune and other conditions, nutrition, mental health conditions, counseling, etc.
