I’ve heard lots of good things about Nancy’s nook but I didn’t find anything remotely close to me on it and I live in a large medical-heavy metro area. The only one was a clinic that didn’t take insurance.
Three things I would suggest:
1) look broadly at the Nancy’s nook list to identify themes (I.e, was there a specific fellowship where they earned their speciality?) and then look for doctors in your area who match those fellowships or other qualities.
2) I think that Urogynecology is the speciality where all the Endo specialists I’ve found practice. If you have to shoot in the dark, aim for a urogyno.
3) look for Endo clinical trials near you, identify the facility doing the trial, and look into their doctors. I don’t know a lot about clinical trials, but if the medical facility is doing research on it, chances are they have a specialist or two who are practicing.
I had success by collecting referrals. My PCP referred me to 3 Urogynecologists (with the third being the most likely to help but the most difficult to get into, so she sent me to two others while I waited). The first two recognized it could be Endo but also acknowledged their lack of speciality (very important for them to know enough to know not everyone can do it). They were able to provide me additional referrals to doctors in the area who they know do specialize in it, so I have them in my back pocket. When I finally saw the 3rd, she was confident in Endo, set me up with surgery with a colleague who she trusted since her availability was awful. After the surgery I talked with the surgeon about options (I was comfortable continuing to see him but also hoped to get care closer to home). He was able to name several other specialists in the area and in my insurance network who he trusted and who had gone through he same fellowship as him.
None of the people I’ve been referred to were on the Nancy’s nook list, but my surgeon was amazing and did the job and I trust his judgement about the others. All the referrals I was given have pretty great reviews, despite not being on the coveted list.
