<div dir="auto"><span>This episode, I sit down and talk with a world renowned female surgeon in the Endometriosis community; Dr. Smitha Vilasagar. We discuss all things from a doctors point of view on how to get diagnosed and be heard. In this particular community it’s sometimes very hard to get a doctor to comprehend the magnitude of your disease before it’s taken over - even though 1 in 10 women suffer daily. Dr. Vilasagar is an extraordinary example of how a doctor should advocate for you & what a patient-doctor relationship should look like.</span></div> <div dir="auto"> </div> <p>Smitha Vilasagar, MD, is a minimally invasive gynecologic surgeon practicing at Atrium Health in Charlotte, NC.
