As an endometriosis specialist, Dr. Karame constantly emphasizes the importance of the healing relationship between doctor and patient. Listening carefully, providing a much-needed assessment of the patient’s suffering, and gaining their trust is essential to the success of the treatment process as a whole. This could not be more the case with endometriosis, where patients often feel rejected and betrayed by the medical profession, as they have visited many specialists who do not handle the pathology and have been told that pain does not exist and is only in their thoughts and they are not provided with a complete overview of the available treatments.
