For your first visit, we ask that you bring any records from your previous OB/GYN and from any specialists that you have seen for endometriosis, including but not limited to endometriosis specialists. This includes any lab work, ultrasound results, and imaging results. We request that you arrive at least 15 minutes before your appointment to complete the necessary paperwork.
During your first visit, you may expect a medical history review, evaluation of symptoms, and a detailed GYN exam, including a pelvic sonogram with one of our doctors. Dr. Seckin will then go over your treatment options and possible next steps for determining surgical candidacy.
The use of ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging (MRIs), computerized tomography (CT scan), and certain endometrial biopsy samples may be used as part of a diagnostic workup. Depending on the outcomes of your symptom evaluation, additional testing may be required. These tests will be individualized for each patient according to their symptoms.
We strongly encourge patients to invite their significant other, a family memeber, or a close friend to their intitial consultation.
