Endometriosis Excision Surgeon

Dr. Cynthia Ramos

Sacramento, California

At a Glance

Strengths

  • One patient reports a strong result 5 months after excision surgery

Worth Knowing

  • Labeled a Lower Confidence Match because very little public information was found on surgical method, diagnosis, patient feedback, or post-surgical approach to endometriosis

From the Editor

I found Dr. Ramos listed on a respected endometriosis surgeon directory. Because patients are being pointed to her, I wanted to make sure you can see everything I was able to turn up.

 

That turned out to be very little. I didn't find anything from her or her practice describing an endometriosis-focused surgical approach, including no MIGS fellowship or other advanced surgical training on record.. I've labeled this surgeon as a Lower Confidence Match for that reason.

 

To be clear, sparse information isn't a mark against her as a doctor or surgeon. It only means there's very little publicly available information to evaluate. One patient has reported a strong result after excision with her, which you'll find below.

Patient Feedback

Patterns Across Patient Feedback


Positive pattern

Mixed or notable

Recurring concern

One patient account, shared publicly on Instagram in 2025, describes a strong result five months after excision surgery, including no remaining pain, roughly half as much period cramping, and a large improvement in day-to-day quality of life. The surgeon is described in strongly positive terms. One account only, insufficient to identify a pattern.

No mixed or notable patterns were identified. With only two public patient accounts available, there is not enough feedback to establish patterns of any kind.

One patient account on Healthgrades in 2025 describes a negative experience, reporting that the visit felt rushed, that questions were not answered, that conditions were not explained clearly, and that the patient did not feel respected. The same account rated scheduling, staff friendliness, and wait times positively. This account does not specify whether the visit concerned endometriosis. One account only, insufficient to identify a pattern.

Endometriosis Focus

A General Obstetrics and Gynecology Practice

No public information from Dr. Ramos or the practice describes an endometriosis-focused surgical approach. Some provider listings include endometriosis, adenomyosis, and chronic pelvic pain among the conditions treated, but those lists are generated from insurance billing data rather than a stated area of focus, so they reflect what has been billed and not a declared specialization. No minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, endometriosis, or urogynecology fellowship was found on record. The training on record is a general obstetrics and gynecology residency.

Surgical Method

No Public Information Confirming the Technique

No public information from Dr. Ramos or the practice describes the surgical method used for endometriosis, including whether the approach is excision (cutting endometriosis out) or ablation (burning it off), and whether surgery is performed robotically or by hand. One patient account describing surgery refers to excision. Insurance billing data shows a single laparoscopic procedure code that covers both excision and ablation, so it cannot confirm which technique is used. Because the difference between excision and ablation is central to endometriosis care, this is worth asking about directly.

Ask directly

  • Do you perform excision, ablation, or both? What factors determine which approach you use?
  • Do you use robotic or manual laparoscopy, and does that vary by case?

Other Areas of Specialty

No Public Information on Endometriosis Sub-Specialties

No public information describes a focus on the areas most relevant to complex or deeply infiltrating endometriosis, such as disease involving the bowel, bladder, or diaphragm, or on surgery aimed at preserving fertility.

Multidisciplinary Approach

No Public Information Found

No public information found.

Ask directly

  • Do you work with colorectal, urological, or thoracic surgeons for complex cases, and how is that coordinated?
  • Do you recommend pelvic floor physical therapy as part of treatment, and do you have providers you refer to?

Diagnosis Methods

No Public Information Found

No public information found.

Ask directly

  • Do you consider a negative ultrasound or MRI sufficient to rule out endometriosis?
  • What is your process for diagnosing endo in a patient who has never had surgery?

Educational Presence

No Endometriosis-Focused Public Presence Found

No public-facing endometriosis educational presence was found. No surgeon-run or practice-produced content on endometriosis was located on YouTube, and no podcast appearances, conference or lecture presentations, or endometriosis-related publications were found. No professional social media account for the surgeon was identified. No membership was found in professional societies such as AAGL, and no listing was found in endometriosis-specific provider directories such as iCareBetter.

Post-Surgical Care

No Public Information Found

No public information found.

Ask directly

  • Do you see patients personally at follow-up appointments, or does someone else from your team?
  • How soon after surgery is the first follow-up appointment?
  • For how long do you continue to see patients after surgery?
  • Do you recommend hormonal treatment or birth control after surgery, and what is your reasoning?

Philosophy and Fit

No Public Information Found

No public information describes an endometriosis-specific treatment philosophy or approach to surgical decision-making.

Ask directly

  • What percentage of your surgical cases involve endometriosis?
  • Do you treat patients who want to preserve fertility, and how does that affect your surgical approach? If adenomyosis is found during surgery, how do you handle that in a patient who wants to preserve fertility?

FAQ
Why did you make this directory?

Who you choose for your surgeon matters more than most people realize. The wrong surgeon can mean missed disease, unnecessary surgeries, and years of pain that didn't have to happen. This is what happened to me.

Finding the right one is not a guarantee, but can drastically improve the outcome of your surgery. This directory pulls together publicly available information and patient-reported patterns in one place, so you can walk into a consultation prepared.
Where did you find this information?

This directory was built using publicly available information from a wide range of sources, including surgeon websites, medical publications, advocacy resources, social media, and submissions from my social media community.

If they show on this list, it means a surface-level check confirmed endometriosis is a primary focus of their practice.. Once their name is linked to a profile, it means I have completed and published my deeper independent research on that surgeon.
What is an endo specialist?

A specialist is a surgeon whose practice centers on endometriosis and/or complex pelvic conditions, including fibroids, adenomyosis, pelvic pain, and similar conditions, as a primary focus rather than as one service among a general gynecology or obstetrics practice.
How do you decide who is on the list?

Inclusion criteria:

A surgeon is eligible if they publicly identify, or are publicly identified, as a specialist through any of the following:

  • Practice website
  • Public facing profiles (Doximity, hospital profiles, etc)
  • Social media bio or consistent social content
  • Inclusion on other endo specific directories: iCareBetter, Nancy’s Nook, Yellow Hub listing

Exclusion criteria:

A surgeon is excluded if public information indicates endometriosis is not a primary focus of their practice:

  • Their public profile presents them primarily as a general OB/GYN or obstetrician with endometriosis listed incidentally among many services
  • No public source positions them as a specialist,  they surface only through patient referral tips or self submission with no verifiable public identity as an endo surgeon
Can a surgeon be removed from the directory?

Surgeons are included on the list based on the criteria listed above.

Personal conduct, social media behavior, and online controversy are not criteria for inclusion or removal. The directory exists to help patients find skilled surgeons, not to weigh in on personality or public opinion.

A surgeon could be removed if I find loss of medical license, or strong evidence they are not a specialist.
Why isn't my surgeon listed?

Absence from this directory doesn't mean a surgeon is unqualified. It means I either haven't found them yet, or couldn't find enough public information to confirm that endometriosis as a genuine focus of their practice. The directory is a living resource and will keep growing with your help.

Use the "submit feedback" button above to suggest a surgeon for review or share your experience with a surgeon.
Can I suggest a surgeon?

Yes, please! Use the "submit feedback" button above.

A submission is a request for consideration, not a guarantee of inclusion. Every surgeon goes through the same research process regardless of how they came to our attention, whether that's a patient suggestion, a surgeon submitting themselves, or my own research. The information found is the information published, good or bad.
I have a surgery coming up but the surgeon profile isn't ready!

Send me a message on Instagram or TikTok (@wulfwomen), I am happy to skip ahead and help research your surgeon before your surgery date. <3

If the surgeon you're looking for doesn't meet the criteria, I will let you know. If they do, I will create the full profile and publish it here on this page.

How often is this updated?

I plan to go through the list every three months and make updates. I hope to add feedback as I get it, but I am only one person and it may take some time.

What should I do if information in a profile is wrong?

Please email me at deb@wulfwomen.com and let me know. Correcting inaccurate information is at the top of my priority list.

I really appreciate all feedback and more eyes on this. I've worked very hard to make sure this is accurate, but there is always a chance something could slip through. I review all submissions and make corrections as quickly as I can.
There's no surgeon in my city or state!

Check out the surgeons in your neighboring states. Many them operate out of multiple locations.
How do you collect patient feedback?

Patient feedback is pulled from publicly available sources like reviews and community forums. Some feedback is submitted directly to me via the "submit feedback" button above.

I take this feedback and fold it into the summaries in the profiles, rather than including every review word for word.

Why are some profiles more detailed than others?

Profile depth reflects what's publicly available, not the quality of the surgeon. That said, a sparse profile is worth paying attention to. Surgeons who specialize in endometriosis tend to have a presence in the patient community. If a profile is thin on reviews and information, that's a sign to do more research and ask a ton of questions.
Is this directory AI-assisted?

Yes, and I'll be upfront about it. I could not have built this without AI.

I am doing the research on each surgeon, then asking AI to check the internet for search for additional public sources.

Then, I ask AI to help with the first draft of the profile content. I read it and fix it manually to make sure it's accurate based on my research.

Lastly, I ask AI to build the code for me to make the profiles look nice on the website.
How is this different from Nancy's Nook or iCareBetter?

I have the utmost respect for Nancy's Nook, she helped me find my specialist. I have had her page listed on my website for a year now, but noticed very few people are clicking the link I provided. The younger generations aren't using facebook as much as we used to and I wanted something easier to access for all ages.

I also wanted to provide a service that could pull information from all over the internet and make it easy to view in one place.

iCareBetter has great information, but much of the information on there is surgeon submitted or sponsored. The Wulf Women list is a place for all information to be found, regardless of where it came from.

Do you make money from this directory?

No. I will never accept payment from any surgeon listed here, and this directory does not generate income for me.

Who are you?

My name is Debrah (Deb) Stark. I'm an endo patient who learned the hard way how important specialty care is. I promised myself after my second surgery I would do everything I could to help other women navigate endometriosis care. My mission is to give women enough information to help them make the right medical decisions for themselves.
