Dr. Iris Kerin Orbuch is the Director of the Advanced Gynecologic Laparoscopy Center in Los Angeles, and author of Beating Endo How to Reclaim Your Life From Endometriosis. Dr. Iris Kerin Orbuchs’ practice is limited to Laparoscopic and Robotic Gynecologic Surgery. Her training, under the guidance of Dr. C.Y. Liu and Dr. Harry Reich — both pioneers in the field of advanced laparoscopic surgery — allows Dr. Orbuch to be one of a handful of physicians across the country trained to perform advanced Excision of Endometriosis. Dr. Orbuch provides both compassionate and individualized care while performing advanced laparoscopic techniques at St. Johns Hospital in Santa Monica, California. Dr. Orbuch is board certified in OB/GYN and is a fellowship trained Endometriosis excision surgeon. She sees the value in addressing Endometriosis, an inflammatory disease, via eastern and western approaches. The cornerstone of endometriosis treatment is surgical excision of endometriosis, though she understands the importance of incorporating integrative medicine and combining eastern & western medicine approaches in helping her patients heal and getting them on the road to recovery. She regularly collaborates with integrative nutritionists, pelvic floor physical therapists, pain psychologists, gastroenterologists, acupuncturists, naturopaths, and integrative medicine physicians in order to help her patients. When you visit her office, you won’t find a rushed, impersonal environment. Instead, Dr. Orbuch and her staff are committed to providing personal, compassionate services to each and every patient. Dr. Orbuch is devoted to helping women live a productive and pain-free life. She loves treating all patients with endometriosis, though helping teens and adolescents, is her passion. She was the former President of the AAGL Endometriosis Special Interest group and has published numerous articles/chapters and lectured extensively.
