In this episode of The Vocal Pelvic Floor, Dr. Rachael Haverland—a board-certified, fellowship-trained endometriosis excision surgeon—joins the conversation to unpack what high-quality, patient-centered surgical care truly looks like. From her training at Mayo Clinic to becoming a verified iCareBetter surgeon and a Master Surgeon in multiple hospitals, Dr. Haverland brings unmatched skill and compassion to her work.

We explore the importance of early diagnosis, the reality of appendix endo, and the medical gaslighting that keeps so many patients from getting the care they need. Dr. Haverland shares how she combines precision surgery with whole-person care and why listening is one of the most powerful tools in her practice.

If you’re looking for answers, clarity, or a sense that you’re finally being heard—this episode is for you.
