Dr. Cynthia Mosbrucker

It’s so insulting when people say shit like that to women. I’m sure if men Endo in their nuts drs would t be saying half the shit they do to them as they do to us. I’m 39 and even though i still have my ovaries i still a bit of pain. I’m going in the end of the month for my yearly check up to see what else they can do. I’m sure it’s Endo removal and to remove my ovaries. There’s a great place in California with a huge team that specializes in endometriosis/fertility they have a lot of information on their website. I go to Dr Susan Mosbrucker in Gigharbor, wa who’s a endometriosis and pelvic pain specialist. Dr Mosbrucker had Dr Trista Newville at her practice but she moved somewhere in the states. They’re all excellent. None of these drs believe in the drug lupron because the side effects weigh out the good. I hope this helps you even a teeny tiny bit

Dr Cindy Mosbrucker is the shit!! Dr trista Newville did my hysterectomy (left my ovaries) and removed Endo from me. They controlled my pain like no other Dr has ever before. Dr Mosbrucker is not removing my ovaries November 1st and removing whatever else she may find in there. I can’t tell you how much in recommend them here! I was heard and understood for the first time and I didn’t feel ashamed or annoying like other drs made me feel. I had to up front $6k and then they fill out all your paperwork to file it with your insurance. I got 70% back last time and I’m looking at with United Health Care to get the same percentage back if not more. They use St Anthony’s Hospital which is in network and all i had to do was pay a co pay of $100 for my surgery. Being treated by them is a bipolar opposite then being treated by anyone else. They’re the best 💜

What’s funny is when i went and had my appointment with dr Mosbrucker i said “why can’t others just say idk instead of torturing us with the run around”? And said “why would they ever want to damage their fragile egos. A lot of drs are assholes and Mosbrucker and Newville know their shit and advocate for all of their patients and talk to you like a human and friend. Look then up on YouTube. They’re really great

There are only 7 endometriosis specialists in the United States. Mosbrucker is the best in the nation. I am in good hands as I’ve been operated by them before. I know several others who’ve had nothing but positive experiences. Our medical system here is disgusting. I don’t need any warnings, i paid $100 for my hysterectomy and endometriosis removal used with robotic surgery which is top of line. What she does is see things the naked eye can’t with minimal excisions and less pain after procedures. I absolutely love and adore these doctors. I knew what I had and was gaslit but so many OBGYN’s who shouldn’t be doing endometriosis removal unless they do robotics. Because they don’t specialize in it. I’d love for you to tell me and others who is “cheaper” because she isn’t that expensive in comparison to all the other who specialize and I also wouldn’t have to travel out of state. There’s Washington state, Idaho, California, New York, and Kansas. I’ve done so much research and reached out t

I had an ONGYN named Amy Tu at the womens health at Evergreen in kirkland, Wa and she took all of 30 minutes to look at me too. She was terrible and woke me up after surgery on the OR table! She was the worse person to do my surgery and also cause she was unsympathetic and didn’t specialize in Endo like Dr Newville and Dr Mosbrucker in gig harbor, Wa. I think you need to find someone who actually specializes in Endo cause a true specialist takes 2-3hrs because they look everywhere

Dr Cindy Mosbrucker is the shit! My first surgery was with Dr Newville at the same practice and she helped with my adenomyosis hysterectomy and Endo removal. My 2nd time was with dr mosbrucker and she removed my ovaries because they got stuck and one burried itself and attached to my colon. Hopefully I won’t ever need to go back for surgery. Since we did robotic surgery and it was with Mosbrucker the % rate is 4%. I feel much better! How are you feeling!!!?? 💜

Most endometriosis specialists in the US are out of network cause the insurance companies don’t want to pay for it. I had to pay up front and the hospital was in network. Insurance is a total rip off! My gyno butchered me and made everything worse for me. I dumped that dr and her entire team who gaslit me and found Dr Newville and Dr Mosbrucker in Gigharbor, Wa. My pedendural nerve is still a bit irritated but otherwise I’m a ok. I hope you too can find the right specialist to help you. I hope Endozene created by the University of Washington becomes available sooner rather then later

I’m still traumatized by all of it. The obgyn I went to at first, after she closed me up she woke me up off the OR table and asked me where I got my pain meds from, proceeded to tell me I didn’t have Endo but my uterus looked a bit swollen. She butchered me and made my entire insides feel like they were on fire for MONTHS!! I had to cry and beg for a Referral to an Endo specialist who took care of me. If it wasn’t for Dr Mosbrucker and Dr Newville Idk where id be. I seriously wanted to die. I had adenomyosis and Endo. My ovaries were binded to my uterus and my uterus was so swollen it was pushing down on my nerves that I couldn’t stand or walk or sit for long periods at a time. It was torturous.

Hi what state are you in? I have stage four and I moved back home to Washington state. The surgeon/specialist is in gig harbor. Dr. Mosbrucker. I had a hysterectomy and it was the best thing for my health. It didn’t solve all my issues but I have improved my life quality by at least 50% if not more. Not having periods has changed my life.

Hello. I also hate this disease. It’s stolen my life. I got a hysterectomy two years ago because I had been suffering for 14 plus years with zero help. I found my real doctor in gig harbor WA. I had the excision but like you it did nothing(from a doctor who got fired) I ended up being referred to Dr.Mosbrucker after the failed excision. The pelvic pain and endometriosis clinic in gig harbor is where I go now. That’s who did the hysterectomy. I had no other choices I had to get it.

I learned at their clinic that Endo can be of the bladder, it can be of the colon, it can be of the uterus and it can be on your intestines. I definitely think seeing them will help solve your issues. It’s also a pelvic pain clinic. Dr.Mosbrucker was the game changer for me. I had to lose my uterus or I was never going to be able to function again.

Dr.Mosbrucker - Gig Harbor, WA at pacific endometriosis and pelvic surgery. She did my hysterectomy (32yrs old at the time) and I kept my ovaries. It was only after an OBGYN did my excision surgery wrong I found her. My life changed in many ways for the better. I’m stage four and I bled 2-3 weeks a month passing golf ball sized blood clots. I was constantly blacking out so I ended up getting concussions. The pain was unmanageable. I wanted to die. I vomited all the time. Always nauseous. Barely could keep my weight above 105. I always looked like death. I’m very sorry for what you are living through and with. I wish you the best on your journey. I hope you get peace, healing, and a better life. I still have pain but it’s no where near what it was. I lived in pain for 8-12 hours daily. Now I only have a couple hours of pain daily. That doctor is a specialist and a surgeon. She does it all.

I’m in Washington: I had doctors Newville & Mosbrucker in Gig Harbor. They’ve got a bowel surgeon they work with also, but they were able to handle my rectal endo themselves. The hospital they use is 100% the nicest one I’ve ever been in. Was also able to do my post op appointments via telehealth, which was great since it’s a ways away from me. Highly recommend them. Edit: my endo was not staged, but I’d be 4 based on the charts. Diaphragm, liver, rectum, bladder, ureters, ovary, uterus, cul de sac, tubes, abdominal wall…I was a mess. The diaphragm surgery was done later with a thoracic surgeon, at a different hospital.

I went to the Pacific endometriosis & pelvic pain clinic in gig harbor. (Dr.s Newville & Mosbrucker). It’d be about an hour’s drive south of Seattle, traffic depending. Can highly recommend them. The other one I was researching was Dr. Brooke Winner. She’s in Seattle but I couldn’t find as much info on her, so went with the others. Had decent luck with Drs at Swedish as well. If you aren’t after surgery right away and would prefer hormonal therapy, can recommend someone in Edmonds. They don’t do excision though.

You can toss that worry out. My excision surgeon trained with Dr. Redwine and assured me there’s absolutely nothing I could have done to prevent this disease. I’d bet the early exercise thing has more to do with keeping adhesions under control. Eta: i had dr Mosbrucker and dr Newville

Dr Mosbrucker was a great surgeon, but the aftercare is limited. She did my 2nd endo surgery, including a partial bowel resection. Found waaaay more than my first surgeon. I liked: the hospital and staff, the nurse, the thoroughness, and the pain pump they give you for after. I did not like: the cost, the way they dismissed my ongoing concerns after. They don’t provide services beyond surgery, so you’ll still need a good gynecologist who knows Endo I liked my 4th surgeon best- she’s at University of Washington. She’s the only one who ever thought to offer me pain medicine after an exam, and was really great about making sure to look for more extra pelvic endo (surgery 3 was for diaphragm endo). She’s not advertised as an endometriosis specialist but knows her stuff. I’d say keep your surgery date with Dr. M, assuming you can afford it, and pick a doctor for later.

Ahhh, yeah. I resonate with that experience with the facebook group... I've never posted there and probably never will for fear of getting "in trouble." But I do often lurk and use their resources which I have found very helpful. Oh man, I'm sorry to hear about the 6 month wait! I'm a little surprised about that! She must have gotten busier. I just had my first appt with her about 3 weeks ago and it had taken 2 months to get that appt scheduled. In the office right after the exam, she got me scheduled for surgery just next month (end of May), but it could have been sooner- I just had other things planned already. So far the experience has been kinda hands off, but I am the type to ask a million questions ahead of time and prefer someone to explain surgeries and aftercare rather than reading guides and FAQ's. I know she's well regarded as an excellent surgeon, and if she wasn't who I thought was the best technically to perform the surgery, I may have looked elsewhere for a more avai

That's awesome!! My surgery with Dr Mosbrucker is tomorrow! I would love to stay in touch with you to have some hysterectomy friends! 😁 it's such an intense thing to go through that it's so nice to have a support system or friends around that have also experienced it or are faced with it. Dr Winner sounded like an amazing doctor! Her wait times for an appt were a reflection of that too though so I wasn't able to secure a spot with her until much later in the year. Normally that'd be fine, but I have my wedding coming up and I'd like to not feel so broken all the time before it. 😅

That's kinda how I felt as well. I did end up getting my surgery done with her anyway because I didn't have many other options in the time frame I needed (wedding coming up!)- surgery itself and recovery have been far better than I thought it'd be, surprisingly (I'm entering 8wpo now). Pre surgery I was a mess because it felt like they also diagnosed me very quickly and I felt like a cash grab kinda. I didn't see or interface directly with Dr Mos after our first consultation until I was at the hospital for surgery and then never again after that. That was TERRIFYING to me. Her nurses were great once I got them on a call or in person (preop and post op) but the portal messages never felt like I got my questions fully answered. My 6wpo visit was supposed to be 20min but ended up being an hour because I had many questions. They gave me my surgery photos at the hospital, but similarly never provided my diagnostic ultrasounds where they thought I had adenomyosis. It turns out I had pelvic c

For sure! I had a hard time finding reviews of Dr Mos before surgery so I'm hopeful others will find my posts useful during their surgeon selection! Dr Mosbrucker was pretty confident I had adenomyosis from one transvaginal ultrasound due to some pockets of fluid she saw on the doppler overlay and my symptoms (excessive bleeding for 1 year nonstop). She did comment that typically those pockets wouldn't show up as flowing blood for adenomyosis, but that it was pretty likely thats what I had even though my pockets in my uterine lining had velocities consistent with veins. I wish we would have done a CT scan to confirm, but I never asked Dr Mos for one since I'd already been rejected for one by my GYN and primary care doctors. I think she would have ordered it for me if I asked but I didn't want to like question the expert specialist too much... 😅 It turned out I did not have adenomyosis based on the pathology report and those pockets really were congested, dilated veins otherwise know

Omg I missed this! Sorry I am definitely still satisfied! Recovery was actually really smooth for me. The worst pain I had was the gas pain a few days after surgery and I suffered from fairly chronic nausea that I determined actually was coming from the medications (either gabapentin or just the miralax). I'm 1 year post op now and while I still have pelvic and back pain that I'm trying to sort out, I am happy that I went with Pacific Endometriosis. They really do know their stuff. I had stage 1 endo and pelvic congestion syndrome (not adenomyosis). Dr Mos was the only doctor to identify that something more than a teeny fibroid was wrong with me. While the bedside manner left something to be desired, I'd prefer my surgeon was really good vs really comforting.

Wow! Thats intense! Im stage 3. This was my second surgery, my first one being the exploratory lap! I had my surgery with Dr Mosbrucker from Pacific Endometriosis and she’s amazing at what she does. I also have adenomyosis that they found in this surgery! It was a pretty intense surgery and I severely underestimated the recovery times.

My excision improved my life SO MUCH! I had it removed from 11 different places, and my bowel & bladder walls were fused together. I also had large cysts on my ovaries and Fallopian tubes. This was my second surgery since I did a lap in 2019 and they also needed to take out a lot of scar tissue from that surgery. I still have adenomyosis, and I’m on a paleo diet to help with bloating. But when I get my period now, it’s like 2 days of light bleeding and cramps that are manageable. Also - I saw Dr Mosbrucker at Pacific Endometriosis!

Hi friend! I saw Dr Mosbrucker for my excision surgery 2 years ago and she also didn’t take my insurance. Please message me if you have any questions! I can give you a cost breakdown and resources I used. She seriously changed my life and I have not have a painful period or symptom since my surgery. 🩵

I had severe bladder endo. Only s/s I had was it was sometimes painful when I urinated during my period and pressure. Did lap, only reason was I had trouble concieving and fertility dr. Reccomend it. pong size endo mass on top of my bladder was found. I was referred to Nook urogynecologist who excised it out of my bladder. I suggest maybe seeing urogynecologist who can excise it out. It doesn't sound like this urologist is willing nor good. My dr was dr. Mosbrucker in WA state. I had catheter for 2 weeks and stent for 1 month. My surgery was 3 years ago and doing well since then. No more bladder issues.

I had severe bladder endo. It was diagnosed via ultrasound, lap, and cystoscope. A urogynecologist Nook Dr had to remove my endo by excision. No medications. I had sent placed for 1 month on my left ureter, Foley catheter for 2 weeks. Doing well now and surgery was 3 yrs ago. I had to do 2 lap excision surgeries though because severe bladder endo nad first surgeon couldn't do bladder excision and had to see Nook urogynecologist to remove rest (Dr. Mosbrucker in WA state)

I had both dr. Grias and Dr Mosbrucker both are excellent but I went to dr Grias first and my stage 4 endo was too extreme she referred me to dr Mosbrucker. Dr. Mosbrucker is the only nook dr in WA and is honestly probably best. Her billing is usual but she's in such high demand, her wait lists are sometimes 1 yr long 

I had an amazing experience. I live in Portland, OR so I drove up for each appointment, including surgery. They worked with my OB down here as well. Dr. Mosbrucker is who performed my surgery, but my appointments were with Dr. Beth Simmons who is Phenomenal!! She listened to everything I had to say and accurately gave the details to Dr. Mosbrucker. I also got to talk to Dr. Mosbrucker in depth before my surgery as well so it wasn’t surprise meeting her at the hospital. I believe that they gave me very personalized help and I have been so far so good with this last excision and it’s been just about 2 years. I had also a normal ablation from my very first OB (I now have a different one) 2 years prior to my excision which ultimately did nothing but make more scar tissue... I wish you luck and hope you have as good of an experience with them as I did. Also, how is Depot for you? I’ve heard nightmare stories, but I’ve never tried it personally.

Just to Vent Hi, I was diagnosed in 2015 with Polycystic Ovaries, Endo, and Adenomyosis and then had my first excision a couple months later. In 2017, I had my first lap from Dr. Mosbrucker (an Endo specialist near Seattle, WA). She was amazing. Skip to now and my pain has been worsening again. I don’t take any prescription pain killers and I’m only on birth control pill to help control my periods. I’m venting because I’m so stressed that I’m going to need another surgery soon and I really can’t afford it. I just finished paying off my first two surgeries only a couple months ago. I’m 23 years old and I dropped out of college to pay for my first surgery. I’m so sad and broke and all I want to do is go back to school, but I won’t be able to if I have to pay for another surgery again. Advice or just general nice comments is appreciated. Thanks for listening.

This is who I'm seeing as well, surgery on Aug 1st for adeno and endo. Even though I'm only 22 she didn't even bat an eye when I made my case for surgery, big contrast with my regular gyno (who I adore) who just wants me on BC eventhough it does nothing. Mosbrucker doesn't take insurance (except maybe medicare?? Double check that for sure).

Surgery and healing was very easy, but I'm not highly sensitive to pain. I had no complications, followups were with the clinic nurse. I haven't had endo pain since (only been about 8mo tho), in my case we did excision and partial hysto (kept ovaries), so definitely part of it is that I no longer have actual periods (just the hormonal swings lol). My case was pretty mild in terms of amount of endo lesions but was indeed confirmed by pathology, adeno was not confirmed (I am so glad to have gotten rid of the uterus tho since I'm never having children). So, in all I think shes a skilled surgeon. My only complaint is she doesnt have great bedside manner, sort of standoffish at worst of times and definitely surgeon-bro at best of times. But after the procedure you mostly deal with the nurse, who is very lovely. If you can find someone who takes insurance and also has a low-recurrence rate then theres no reason not to seek the more affordable route, mosbrucker is not a wizard just a well e

The instructions were pretty clear from what I remember. I got up usually every 1 or 2 hours, but didnt usually do more than go to the bathroom, refill water, take meds, or get some food. They mostly stressed taking it easy and not doing anything intense. So they want you to walk around but not go for a miles long trek, for example. Definitely no picking up or carrying anything over a few pounds, you want to put as little pressure on your pelvic floor as possible. So no squatting at all for a bit. I found it easier to sleep on a bit of an incline, with knees propped as well, esp because the pain pump was cumbersome for the first week. Speaking of which, the tubes of the pain pump were way longer than I thought, so if you're at all squeamish about removing those from your abdomen yourself when the time comes then make sure to talk to them about it and plan for it. Absolutely don't watch a super emotional drama and cry over it for 3 days straight during your initial recovery, 0/10 recomm

AFAIK it is just Dr M not taking insurance. I wonder if then you have to pay her surgeon fees and insurance can cover the hospital. Hospital is the biggest cost. I saw them both, but Dr. N passed me to Dr. M as my surgery was complicated. Dr N assisted though. The whole team is wonderful, supportive, and easy to reach them for questions once you are a patient.

I've seen an iCareBetter doctor (Mosbrucker). It was night and day compared to my previous obgyn who did my endo surgery. Just the team alone was worth it - I had ample preparation for the surgery and knew what to expect, medication, aftercare a month before surgery. I could message them and they'd get back to me right away. They called me the next day and few days after to check on me. Never ever was gaslight, never passed blame for weight/other issues, and everything was taken seriously. The pain medication was planned out - I got out of a hysterectomy 4.5h excision in better shape and in less pain than a lap with a regular gyn. vs. my lap with a regular gyn, I got little pain meds (take tylenol), no one to call (go to the ER), no pre instructions, and a hack job as they left endo as they felt it wasn't removable (it was).

Join Nancy's nook on FB, find a Dr on their list. They are all vetted with high success rates. Most women only need 1 surgery w them for full remission. I am doing worlds better since my excision surgery w Dr Mosbrucker in March even though I'm not even completely healed. I felt way better even just waking from surgery!!! Excision by a true expert on the nook list is your best chance at long term success w treatment. Diet can have a huge impact on symptoms in the mean time, so try an elimination diet to find your own personal pain triggers. The biggest most obvious ones tend to be sugar, wheat, soy, nightshades, and corn but each person is unique and will have unique triggers.

Feeling better after expert excision :) Hey everybody I just wanted to give you guys a little bit of encouragement, since it seems like people tend to post here when they're having problems and are trying to find a solution as opposed to coming back and letting everyone know that they found a solution. I had excision of endometriosis and hysterectomy for adenomyosis with dr. Mosbrucker at the end of March this year. It has been a rough recovery which I'm still in the process of (healing fully can take up to a year!) but im doing world's better than before the surgery. I still have pelvic floor dysfunction which does cause me some pain and some urinary issues, but the pain is nowhere near what it once was. I'm able to get out and walk much more than I could before. I'm not bedridden during my period time, in fact the last few days would have been my period if I hadn't gotten the hyst and I've been able to go out and enjoy the Sun every day. my swelly belly has also decreased significantly since the surgery, though if I do too much in a day it does show up but that's just normal post-op swelling from what I've been told. My digestive issues are a thing of the past for the most part, except for during my would-be period which my surgical team told me is normal. Even then there's still significantly less Troublesome then during my periods before surgery. I do still have struggles thanks to the aforementioned pelvic floor dysfunction and unrelated Ehlers danlos Syndrome, but finding expert care really did change my life for the better!! So I hope all of you ladies struggling out there can hold onto hope until you find a true endometriosis/excision expert. It's tough, I know, but you can do it!! There is a better life waiting for you on the other side :)
