Endometriosis care in Virginia

Virginia's academic gynecologic surgery is in Charlottesville and Richmond. UVA Health in Charlottesville publishes a minimally invasive gynecologic surgery page covering endometriosis, infertility, ovarian cysts and fibroids, and the UVA obstetrics and gynecology department's benign gynecology division describes a Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery service for complex conditions including endometriosis and pelvic pain. VCU Health in Richmond lists endometriosis and pelvic pain among the conditions it treats and minimally invasive gynecological surgery among its services. In Fairfax, Inova Gynecologic Surgery describes a practice focused exclusively on minimally invasive surgical and medical options for benign conditions, whose fellowship-trained surgeons serve as faculty for a combined Inova and Walter Reed fellowship in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery and list minimally invasive excision of endometriosis among their procedures. Sentara Virginia Beach General Hospital says it works with local gynecologists to provide minimally invasive and robotic gynecologic surgery.

Virginia Beach is about 90 miles from Richmond in a straight line, Richmond about 70 from Charlottesville, Roanoke about 100 from Charlottesville, and Fairfax about 20 from Washington.

Virginia adopted the Affordable Care Act Medicaid expansion in 2019, so adults with incomes up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level can qualify for coverage. America's Health Rankings' 2026 report puts 7.4 percent of Virginia women aged 15 to 44 in a county with no hospital or birth center offering obstetric care and no obstetric clinicians. The Virginia Department of Health is the state's public health agency; we could not verify a dedicated women's health page.
