Dr. Caleb Huff
Dr. Caleb Huff, Endometriosis Specialist
Summary: Dr. Caleb Huff is a dedicated endometriosis specialist based in Huntington, West Virginia, USA. His care philosophy recognizes that while retrograde menstruation may contribute to endometriosis, it does not explain all cases. Dr. Huff considers a combination of factors—including vascular and lymphatic spread, coelomic metaplasia, and embryonal rest theories—to understand and address rarer manifestations of the disease.
Dr. Huff performs excision surgery, the gold standard for removing endometriosis lesions, and provides individualized care plans that balance surgical and medical management. He emphasizes that hormone therapies and medications are primarily palliative and tailors their use to reduce recurrence, manage coexisting conditions, or control residual disease.
Pain management is a key focus, using a multimodal, non-opioid-first approach and collaborating with other specialists when needed. Medications such as OCPs, progestin-only options, IUDs, NSAIDs, and, if necessary, GnRH agonists/antagonists are used strategically to control symptoms.
Dr. Huff provides evidence-based, compassionate care designed to help patients regain control over their health and quality of life.

Philosophy of Endometriosis Care: I think that most endometriosis results from retrograde menstruation, but this does not explain all of it. There must be a combination of causes to explain it all. Vascular and lymphatic spread, as well as coelomic metaplasia and embryonal rest theories, can help to explain some of the rarer locations.
What type of surgery do you perform for endometriosis: Excision
Medication: OCPs—both standard use and continuous use, progestin-only pills, Nexplanon, and Mirena IUD, all to help minimize symptoms. NSAIDs during painful days to reduce inflammation and menstrual bleeding. If these methods fail, or if the patient has pain after surgery, I will advance to the GnRH agonists/antagonists such as Lupron, Orilissa, and Myfembree.
Approach to Persistent Pain After Surgery: In these cases, I use the above-mentioned medications in different combinations to minimize pain. I also seek other specialties for possible cross-specialty causes, such as GI, urology, pelvic floor PT, counseling, exercise, and nutrition specialists.
Words can not describe how amazing Dr.Huff is at his job! I genuinely can tell that it’s not just a job to him it’s changing young and older women’s lives for the better. I never met a Dr that listened, was very concerned for my health and actually wanted me to have a healthy life. I can’t tell you the emotions that went through my mind when he came in after the surgery and goes “how does it feel that you’re not crazy” and when I tell you I was tearing up I started to cry more. This man is not just a man is a superhero that doesn’t wear a cape he wears a smile and huge heart. I can’t thank him anymore on everything he has done and changed my life for the better.
Dr Huff is AMAZING!!!!! He took care of all my pelvic floor issues & endometriosis. I would recommend him to anyone. His bedside manner makes you comfortable talking about anything. He never rushed & answered all my questions. Post op he was available whenever I needed him.
I was very pleased with Caleb Huff as a care giver. He explained everything that would be done and was helpful in explaining all my concerns. He was always kind and caring with me. I would and have recommended him to many.
I have had issues with my menstrual cycle for as long as I can remember. Growing up and even as a young adult, I felt like my pain was dismissed by doctors. Often, I was made to feel as if maybe I was imagining some of the pain or that it wasn’t “that bad”. I always heard the same things – my weight, my diet, and my mental health were causing the abnormalities in my cycle. After a long period of time where I had no relief and bled for months on end, I was referred to Dr. Huff. Immediately I knew that my experience was going to be different – Dr. Huff instantly cared about my situation.
Dr. Huff was able to diagnose me with endometriosis, as well as help me manage my cycles and pain. When I was ready to start a family, Dr. Huff helped me to navigate my infertility and find solutions to help my husband and I to conceive. When I was going through the postpartum trenches, Dr. Huff advocated for my mental health and wellbeing. When I was ready to make the decision to have a hysterectomy, Dr. Huff was knowledgeable about the procedure and recovery. He has always explained everything that I need to know in a professional manner while still showing that he cares about me as a patient.
I will never not recommend Dr. Huff to my friends and family. He has truly helped me to achieve a better quality of life.
He is great i mean my family and i also a few friends that see him just love him. He knows his stuff and he makes sure your very comfortable before anything he treats everyone like family, i tell ya he’s the best in this Tristate. Words just can’t describe him he’s an angel on earth .
Testimonial
Living with infertility for nearly ten years was one of the hardest journeys of my life. The extreme anxiety made me feel worthless at times, and I often wondered if I would ever find hope again. But Dr. Huff was always there to encourage me, listen to every concern, and never give up on me. He walked alongside me through every step—trying different fertility medications, performing two IUIs, and continuing to believe when I felt like giving up.
Dr. Huff didn’t just stop at treating my PCOS—he discovered that I was also suffering from endometriosis. He flushed my tubes and cleared out my cysts, and by the grace of a very merciful and incredible God, I was able to get pregnant naturally without any medication. I knew God’s hand was guiding Dr. Huff in knowing exactly what I needed.
When I miscarried on a cruise ship in the middle of the ocean, I was devastated. In that dark time, I was comforted by his amazing nurse, Tina, who I truly treasure. Dr. Huff himself reached out with a handwritten card offering his deepest condolences, and when my husband and I went into his office, he simply let us cry as long as we needed. He didn’t rush us out or make us feel like patients—he treated us with compassion, as family.
A year and a half later, after so much pain and exhaustion, I returned to Dr. Huff. He found that I not only had recurring PCOS cysts, but also more severe endometriosis, adenomyosis, and a tilted uterus. Dr. Huff still never took away my hope. He gave me choices—whether to keep trying to conceive or to consider a hysterectomy. At 29, the thought of a hysterectomy was frightening, but Dr. Huff never pressured me. He gave me time to decide, and when I chose surgery, he supported me fully.
That decision changed my life. Dr. Huff did a procedure called a total hysterectomy, this allowed me to keep my ovaries. Which would allow me to not go into full menopause at 29. The pain and exhaustion that had consumed me for years were finally gone. Today, I can honestly say it was the best decision I ever made. My quality of life is incredible now, and it’s because Dr. Huff gave me back my health, my hope, and my life. Dr. Huff heard me and didn’t just says you are to young or tell me to just lose weight.
I will always be beyond thankful for him and his team. Dr. Huff is not just a doctor—he is a true gift who walks with his patients through both heartbreak and healing.
Dr. Huff not only gave me my life back, but helped bring me to a state of health and well-being that I am not sure I have had in my adult life. I was losing hope in the future and confidence in healthcare providers, and even thought I would have to leave my area for care. Dr. Huff reaffirmed all of the aforementioned, validated my experiences as a patient, and provided me with holistic gold standard care. I woke up post-op and could immediately feel a physical weight lifted from my body and a difference in my mental well-being. Regardless of it being more complicated than we expected, with more areas involved and taking twice as long in the OR. Me and my family are so very grateful for him.
Dr. Huff is without a doubt one of the most competent and caring physicians I have ever known. While no one wants to have surgery, Dr. Huff made me comfortable from the first time I saw him in his office, until the day I had my surgery. He explained everything so well and answered all of my questions. My recovery was very easy and Dr. Huff even text me to check on me. I am
so pleased I chose Dr. Huff as my surgeon. My journey back to health was made easier and smoother by the wonderful care he gave me.
Dr. Huff was a literal life changer and life saver when he performed my hysterectomy, clearing me of undiagnosed endometriosis, diagnosed adenomyosis, and then finding a tumor on my appendix, which he communicated with me regarding possible general surgeons to proceed with my medical needs beyond a gynecological need, and even staying in touch during that separate medical journey.
Dr. Huff listens and explains in subjects I had been taken through the wringer with through my whole adult life, and helped me realize it was not just in my head, but they were valid things occurring to my body.
I feel better, and even small hiccups I may still be going through, Dr. Huff is helping me with anything I may need, and any questions I may need answered.
I had the distinct pleasure of having Dr. Caleb Huff as my surgeon. He did a complete hysterectomy robotically. My pain level afterward was almost nonexistent. I cannot say enough good about him. I knew exactly what to expect when I went in to surgery, and there were no surprises. He act listens to what you are saying. If you are looking for a female surgeon, you can’t go wrong with Dr. Huff.
I’ve been seeing Dr. Huff for the past 4, almost 5 years, and he’s been nothing short of amazing. He has listened to every one of my concerns and has acted on them. I recently had a partial hysterectomy and I’m healing great. I recommend him to all my friends.
Dr. Huff performed a total hysterectomy on me and didn’t even realize I had endometriosis. The surgery went well, no complications and excellent bedside manner. I would highly recommend Dr. Huff to anyone needing OBGYN care.
I have been a patient of Dr. Huff for over seven years. During that time, I have walked through some of the most heartbreaking and challenging
experiences of my life to grow my family, including eight miscarriages. I truly do not know how I would have made it through without him and his amazing staff, Tina, Jill, and Josie.
When I first became Dr. Huff’s patient, I had already experienced four miscarriages and was pregnant with my fifth child. I had been diagnosed with recurrent pregnancy loss, adenomyosis, and a uterine septum. I was not a typical patient, and after suffering my fifth
pregnancy loss, he could have echoed what three other doctors had already told me, “There’s nothing else we can do,” but instead, he chose to support us in our journey. Dr. Huff began researching every possible cause and treatment option for my miscarriages. He never gave up on mine and my husband’s dream of becoming parents. He supported us wholeheartedly in continuing our journey to parenthood, offering hope when it felt like there was none. He spent hours reviewing case studies and recommending specialized testing to uncover what might be going wrong. After discussing the pain and symptoms I had been dealing with for years that were overlooked by other physicians, we decided to proceed with a laparoscopy, which led to my diagnosis of endometriosis. It is one of the most painful and invisible conditions I have ever had to endure. The physical suffering is immense, but the emotional weight of having a condition others cannot see or understand adds another layer of hardship. I had dealt with the pain from endometriosis for so many years and it was a relief to finally get a diagnosis. Endometriosis affected my daily activities including my career. I recenlty had to have another laproscopy for my endometriosis and it has helped me tremendously. Dr. Huff never minimized my pain. He acknowledged it, treated it, and validated my experience every step of the way. After my eighth miscarriage, my husband and I turned to IVF as our last hope. Our embryo transfer was successful, but the pregnancy that followed was high-risk and filled with complications. Throughout it all, every ultrasound, every scare, every moment of uncertainty, Dr. Huff remained by my side. His medical expertise, careful monitoring, and compassionate care helped me have a successful pregnancy. Because of him, we were finally able to bring home the child we had prayed for. It is one thing to be a skilled surgeon, and Dr. Huff is certainly that, but what sets him apart is his unwavering compassion and commitment to his patients.
I cannot even begin to express how thankful I am to have discovered Dr. Huff.
I was originally supposed to have an ex lap with a different provider last fall for suspected endometriosis, but ended up having to put it off due to finishing school. During that time, my pain and discomfort only continued to grow. By the beginning of this summer I was even starting to have difficulty walking, and my periods were causing me to almost pass out monthly. I also spent this time thoroughly researching endometriosis and excision surgery. I was sure that I was going to have to travel hundreds of miles from eastern Kentucky in order to find the proper care. Instead, I was incredibly lucky to discover through a classmate that there was someone dedicated to caring for those with endometriosis just a short 30 minute drive away!
Dr. Huff, his office staff, and his surgical team have all been a dream to work with. I truly could not recommend him more to anyone dealing with endometriosis.
Dr. Huff is an amazing surgeon! Not only was he kind and caring, he listened to my concerns without hesitation or questioning me. He helped me find answers and ultimately gave me a better life through hysterectomy. He found my adenomyosis and endometriosis after multiple other doctors told me I was fine. I now have the energy to play with my kids and enjoy life. I am forever grateful for his knowledge and expertise!
Dr. Huff has been my OB/GYN for only a few months, but in that short time, he has done more for me than any other doctor has in over ten years since first being diagnosed with PCOS and endometriosis. Dr. Huff has been absolutely wonderful in providing care, finding solutions to manage my pain & discomfort, and you will not find a physician that is as compassionate as him! He truly listens, and takes time to find solutions that improve his patients’ overall quality of life. I recently had surgery with Dr. Huff to remove endometriosis, and I experienced zero pain afterward and he done amazing at removing it all. What stands out the most besides his compassion is his knowledge. He is the only doctor who has ever sat down with my husband and I and given us real optimism about our chances of having children after struggling with infertility for over 10 years. His office staff is just as amazing as he is! Any time I call or send a message through MyChart, my questions are answered quickly & they always let you know they are there for you if you need them. I am so grateful to have found Dr. Huff & his team, and I cannot recommend him highly enough.
