Endometriosis Specialist Who Won't Insist on BC?

Hey all,

I know the topic of endometriosis specialists comes up pretty frequently here but does anyone have any recommendations for a doctor who won't insist on experimenting with different hormonal birth control medications? I was recently incidentally diagnosed with endo via MRI (didn't even know that was possible) and would like to have an honest conversation about laparoscopic excision with a surgeon rather than spar with someone who repeatedly insinuates that an IUD is the only practical option because "it will just grow back" despite my protestations. Aside from not being satisfied with that route of treatment, I have resolved a number of health issues in the past and don't want to risk them coming back due to bc.

I'm currently on DC Medicaid (Medstar Family Choice) but that may change in 6 months so I'm eager to hear about anyone's positive experiences, regardless of insurance accepted.
