No Endo Specialists Near Me

I have just been diagnosed via MRI (endometrioma and endometriosis near my rectum) and I’ve been referred to gynecology and endocrinology. I am really lucky to have great health insurance right now, but unfortunately looking at the maps I don’t see a specialist in my network. If anyone has any recommendations of endo specialists or good gynecologists in Santa Barbara County in California please let me know. I’m worried they are just going to put me on HBC and call it a day. If my endometriosis is deep enough to show up on MRI I’m worried that the disease will continue to grow unnoticed because my symptoms will be managed. I suspect I’ve had endo for years, but I was on HBC and wasn’t aware until I went off. Right now I don’t have pain during sex, and maybe it seems a little superficial but considering where my cells are clustered I’m really afraid it could advance to that. I’m also concerned about it rooting deeper in my GI tract for obvious reasons.
