Thank you for your interest in our endometriosis and pelvic pain treatment program. This information is designed to act as a resource for you as you begin the journey through the complex world of endometriosis treatment options. We have attempted to provide as many answers to your questions as we could anticipate. However, the information on these web pages are not meant to answer all your questions and concerns; rather, it is meant to provide an overview and to supplement information obtained from your doctor, other members of the Wisconsin Fertility Institute, and other members of our Endometriosis Treatment Team.
Here at WFI, we are firm believers in the partnership between our medical team and you, the patient, to achieve a goal that is decided upon in a collaborative manner. We do not practice paternalistic directives; nor do we pretend to necessarily know what is always in your best interest. Instead, we will do our best to explain what we prefer to do and why we do it. If you feel confused or pressured, please speak up and let us know as this is not our intent. We strive to create an atmosphere of trust and cooperation, and we can only do that if you are an active member of the team voicing your concerns if you feel your needs are not being met.
We realize that endometriosis and pelvic pain are very difficult life issues that are often not well understood by those you regularly interact with. We also understand how anxiety-provoking and frustrating the process of diagnosis and treatment can sometimes be. To this end, we have attempted to minimize the stress by providing a safe, comfortable environment. Our partners on the Endometriosis Treatment Team feel similarly, and please know that we are all working together to try to meet your needs.
Once again, thank you for your interest in and support of the Wisconsin Fertility Institute. We sincerely hope to help you successfully deal with the discomfort that you now experience, and we are honored to have the privilege of working with you.
