Dr. Melissa McHale, a gynecologic surgeon specializing in minimally invasive endometriosis surgery, shares expert guidance on finding qualified surgeons for endometriosis treatment. She provides practical strategies for evaluating surgeon credentials, training backgrounds, and professional connections to ensure patients receive care from true specialists capable of performing complete excision surgery.

• Research where potential surgeons received their training and who specifically taught them endometriosis surgery techniques
• Ask direct questions about when endometriosis became their focus and how they developed their surgical skills
• Consider that most fellowship-trained gynecologists in the US aren't adequately trained in complete endometriosis excision
• Evaluate the surgeon's professional network—those who regularly associate with other endometriosis specialists likely stay current with best practices
• Look at both patient reviews and professional reputation among other physicians
• If you wouldn't trust their mentor to operate on you, question whether you should trust them
