We deserve to be heard, to be genuinely cared for when we go to our medical professionals in pain. It is because of Dr. Seckin and his remarkable team that countless girls and women are now receiving the information and treatment that they need. --Bindi Irwin
Yes, your pain is real. No, you are not crazy. Yes, there is hope.
Severe pelvic pain, painful periods, pain with bowel movements, pain with sex, infertility and fatigue--these are only a few of endometriosis's many symptoms. A full body disease that can easily affect a person's entire life--from career and relationships to sleep and diet--endometriosis has no cure, but it is highly treatable. Unfortunately, it is rarely treated in a timely manner, if at all, due to misdiagnosis or gaps in education within the medical community.
The Doctor Will See You Now is for every person with this disease--from the thirteen-year-old girl who is being told that her pain is "part of becoming a woman" to the patient who has been misdiagnosed for decades--to know they are not alone.
The second edition includes five new chapters including information on thoracic and sciatic endometriosis, nine new patient stories, updates on fourteen previous patients, three new forewords, new resources, and new research as well as new treatment options for those living with the disease.
Tamer Seckin, MD, is a Board Certified gynecologist and laparoscopic surgeon in private practice in New York City, practicing at North Shore LIJ/Lenox Hill Hospital. He specializes in treating women with endometriosis. He is an internationally known specialist in minimally invasive advanced (laparoscopic) surgery, and is among a very limited number of gynecologic surgeons in the United States who is exclusively committed to the Deep Laparoscopic Excision of endometriosis.
In 2009, Dr. Seckin founded the Endometriosis Foundation of America (EFA), the first research and advocacy foundation of its kind organized by a private physician to raise awareness and emphasize the critical value of surgical excision of endometriosis. Under his guidance as Medical Director, the EFA strives to increase disease recognition, provide advocacy, facilitate expert surgical training, and fund landmark endometriosis research.
