I aim to provide thoughtful, fertility-preserving, and individualized care that integrates surgical precision with multidisciplinary medical management to optimally address pelvic pain and infertility. This approach emphasizes hormonal suppression in patients not actively attempting pregnancy, lifestyle strategies, and collaboration with physical medicine and pain specialists to promote lasting relief.

The current state of endometriosis diagnosis and treatment in America is unacceptable, tragic, and a result of systemic problems relating to GYN surgical training and reimbursement that are unlikely to change anytime soon. I am excited to be a part of an organization that is aiming to change the practice of medicine for endometriosis care, as our patients deserve a better way.

The way that the body processes chronic pelvic pain means that, even after endometriosis is excised, your body still has to unlearn the pain – to reverse changes in the central nervous system that can contribute to recurrent or persistent pain. The PRM protocol focuses on this process.

Prior to joining PRM, I was an assistant professor at University of Southern California Keck School of Medicine for 7 years. I have served on the AAGL 2025 Scientific Program Committee and AAGL 2026 Professional Education Committee. I am passionate about empowering patients through education about their bodies and reproductive health conditions; with this goal I have served as an video content expert on Roon.com, and have contributed articles to the LA Times and Slate.

I have performed over a thousand complex gynecologic surgeries.

I am comfortable excising endometriosis from the pelvis, ovaries, fallopian tubes, vagina, rectum, sigmoid colon, small bowel, appendix, bladder, ureter, abdominal wall, umbilicus, and diaphragm.

For patients desiring to maintain fertility, my surgical approach involves thorough excision of endometriosis, use of careful technique for excising ovarian endometrioma cysts with suturing rather than burning tissues to control bleeding, meticulous dissection and reconstruction of the fallopian tubes to remove endometriosis and restore or maintain tubal function when possible.

As a mother of four young children, I feel the deep importance of helping patients try to achieve the family they hope for. This purpose drives my work and sharing in the joy of a successful post-surgical pregnancy makes the hard days worthwhile. Born and raised in Northern Virginia, having attended Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology, I am looking forward to returning to and caring for this community.

FAQ's

FAQ's

Endometriosis excision surgery is an advanced minimally invasive procedure that involves carefully identifying and removing endometriosis lesions from affected areas while preserving healthy tissue. Unlike approaches that only treat visible disease on the surface, excision surgery focuses on removing endometriosis at its root to help reduce symptoms and improve quality of life. At PRM, fellowship-trained minimally invasive gynecologic surgeons use advanced laparoscopic techniques and comprehensive evaluation to develop individualized treatment plans based on each patient’s symptoms, goals, and disease severity.

Endometriosis surgery may be considered for patients whose symptoms are not adequately controlled with medications or hormonal treatments, whose pain significantly impacts daily life, or who are experiencing fertility challenges. Surgery may also be recommended when imaging or evaluation suggests deeper disease, such as endometriosis involving the bowel, bladder, or other pelvic structures. Common reasons to consider an endometriosis surgery consultation include persistent pelvic pain despite medical treatment, painful periods, painful intercourse, gastrointestinal or bladder symptoms, difficulty conceiving, or findings such as endometriomas or deep infiltrating endometriosis. During an evaluation at PRM, providers review your symptoms, medical history, imaging, and treatment goals to determine whether excision surgery is the right option for you and develop a personalized care plan.

During an endometriosis surgery consultation at PRM, patients can expect a comprehensive evaluation focused on understanding their symptoms, medical history, and treatment goals. The surgeon will review your experience with pelvic pain, painful periods, painful intercourse, bowel or bladder symptoms, previous diagnoses, and any prior treatments. The consultation may include a physical and pelvic exam to evaluate areas of tenderness, pelvic floor muscle dysfunction, scarring, or other findings that may contribute to symptoms. Additional imaging, such as specialized pelvic ultrasound or MRI, may be recommended to better understand the location and extent of endometriosis. Your surgeon will also discuss whether excision surgery is appropriate, explain the surgical approach, and review what to expect before, during, and after the procedure. PRM’s approach includes personalized pre- and post-operative care, which may involve pelvic rehabilitation, lifestyle strategies, and other treatments to support healing and long-term outcomes.

PRM’s endometriosis surgeons specialize in advanced laparoscopic excision surgery and care for patients through a fully integrated, multidisciplinary approach. Unlike a surgery only model, PRM combines surgical expertise with pelvic pain care to address the inflammation, nerve sensitivity, and pelvic floor dysfunction that can contribute to ongoing symptoms. PRM’s fellowship-trained Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgeons (MIGS) have specialized training in complex excision surgery and treat advanced endometriosis, including cases involving areas such as the bowel, bladder, and diaphragm. Their approach also includes comprehensive support before and after surgery, including pelvic rehabilitation through the PRM Protocol™ to help reduce pain, support healing, and improve long-term outcomes. PRM focuses on personalized, whole-body care designed to help patients achieve meaningful relief while reducing the need for repeated procedures. Providers also evaluate patients clinically based on symptoms, medical history, and physical examination, allowing treatment planning to begin without waiting for surgical confirmation.

Yes, endometriosis excision surgery can improve fertility for some patients by removing endometriosis lesions, treating scar tissue and adhesions, restoring normal pelvic anatomy, and reducing inflammation that may interfere with conception. The impact of surgery depends on factors such as the severity of endometriosis, age, ovarian reserve, and overall fertility health. For patients with mild to moderate endometriosis, removing visible disease may improve the chances of spontaneous pregnancy. In more advanced cases, surgery may help restore the relationship between the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and surrounding pelvic structures to support reproductive goals. At PRM, providers consider each patient’s fertility goals and individual circumstances when determining whether surgery is the right approach and how it fits into a broader fertility plan.

Recovery after endometriosis excision surgery varies depending on the extent of disease treated and each patient’s healing process. Many patients experience gradual improvement over the first several months rather than immediate relief. The first menstrual cycle after surgery (typically 4–8 weeks post-surgery) may be the most challenging, with some patients experiencing increased cramping, pelvic pain, or heavier bleeding as the body heals. By the second cycle, many patients begin noticing improvements, and within three to six months, patients often report reduced pain, improved energy, and better daily function. At PRM, recovery is supported through a comprehensive approach that combines surgical expertise with individualized follow-up care and additional treatments when needed to support long-term healing and quality of life.
