Find a Doctor

Finding the right surgeon is one of the most important decisions in your endometriosis journey. We recommend seeking care from fellowship-trained, minimally invasive gynecologic surgeons who specialize in excision surgery and the treatment of complex pelvic pain.
 

This list is intended as an educational resource and reflects doctors we believe have specialized expertise in the surgical management of endometriosis. We encourage every patient to research their options, verify insurance coverage, and choose the surgeon who best fits their individual needs and goals.
 

You can find feedback on many of these surgeons in the Houston Area Endometriosis Group on Facebook.

Doctors To Watch​

 

These surgeons have qualifications that suggest they may provide a higher level of endometriosis care than a typical general OB-GYN. However, because we have limited firsthand patient feedback, we are continuing to evaluate patient experiences and surgical outcomes. At this time, we are not yet able to recommend them as strongly as the surgeons listed above.

​

  • Dr. Julie Vu, MD

  • Dr. Randa Jalloul, MD, UTHealth/Memorial Hermann (uses endo MRI protocol)

  • Dr. Julie Gutierrez, MD, Methodist (uses endo MRI protocol)

  • Dr. Olivia Dziadek, MD, Methodist (uses endo MRI protocol)

Texas Endometriosis Excision Surgeons (Outside of Houston)

 

Because the below surgeons practice outside of the Greater Houston Area, we are unable to closely follow patient experiences and long-term outcomes. They are listed for consideration, and we encourage you to do your own research. The North Texas Endometriosis Group on Facebook may be a good resource for feedback on many of these surgeons.
