The Wulf Women List

Endometriosis Excision Specialist Directory

The surgeons listed here are added with one criterion: Based on public information, they specialize in endometriosis and similar conditions as a primary focus of their practice, rather than general gynecology or obstetrics.

Being listed does not mean they are a great surgeon or the right surgeon for you, it just means they meet the criteria. Do your research and ask questions before making any decisions. There are tips to research your surgeon, questions to ask before your surgery, and more on the resources page of this site.

I will be adding profiles on each surgeon as I complete my full research.

I could use help adding surgeons or gathering feedback on surgeons! To submit a surgeon, provide surgeon feedback, or give any other feedback on this resource, please use this form.

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.
How are surgeons selected?

Most OBGYNs are trained to do a lot of things: deliver babies, manage general gynecological care, perform routine surgeries. This is important work, but Endometriosis is a different skill set.

Endo can look different in every patient, hide in unexpected places, and requires specific training and a high volume of cases to recognize and remove well. A surgeon who splits their time across general obstetrics and gynecology is not the same as one who has made endometriosis and similar conditions the focus of their practice.

Every surgeon listed here publicly identifies endometriosis as a high focus of their work, and that has to be verifiable through public sources: their own website, a hospital profile, a professional directory, published interviews, or similar.

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 a credible, documented pattern of patient safety concerns, loss of medical license, or conduct that directly impacts the quality or safety of patient care.
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 let me know via the "submit feedback" button above.

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.

You can find me on TikTok and Instagram as @wulfwomen .
