The CEC’s sole focus as a practice is on the surgical excision of endometriosis and minimally invasive gynecologic surgery; we do not sell products or offer other services i.e., obstetrics, aesthetics, etc. As a specialty center, we also do not provide primary obgyn care services. You must maintain your relationship with your existing primary ObGyn and other healthcare providers, as your care with us will be specific to your surgery. We do believe, however, that multidisciplinary care and support combined with Laparoscopic Excision (LAPEX) as the surgical cornerstone of an integrative approach to this disease can facilitate improved outcomes (i.e., nutrition, physical therapy, and more). Thus, we have cultivated an ever-growing network of professional colleagues who serve as resources to offer adjunct care to mutual patients both during surgery in some cases as well as pre-hab and postoperatively. Depending on the specifics of your case, you may receive care with one or some of our colleagues when you come to Atlanta for surgery with us and/or obtain a referral thereafter for a regional provider. The following list is provided for informational purposes only and does not imply affiliation, recommendation or endorsement by the CEC, and patients are expected to conduct their own due diligence when choosing any providers herein. We encourage patients, generally, to search out recommended physician referral sites such as RateMDs for additional resources in their respective areas if needed.

**2025 Update: There has been an important standardized terminology update to the condition previously referred to as Interstitial Cystitis and/or Bladder Pain Syndrome. In a change led by the American Urogynecologic Society and the International Urogynecologic Association, the disorder has now been renamed Female Bladder Pain Syndrome (FBPS), in order to improve clarity of diagnosis and clinical care. The new term was arrived at by consensus opinion, and aims to help doctors, researchers, and patients better understand and address the condition by focusing on its unique characteristics in women and those assigned female at birth. - Joint Terminology Report: Terminology Standardization for Female Bladder Pain Syndrome. Urogynecology (Phila). Published online January 6, 2025. Developed by the Joint Writing Group of American Urogynecologic Society and the International Urogynecological Association.
