The Maisha Circle
Endo-aware providers, starting in the New York area and growing across the country
Every provider in this directory has been carefully selected — either personally vetted by our team or highly recommended by women in the endo community. You deserve a provider who already understands what you are carrying into the room. When we vet providers and review community recommendations, we look closely at how they treat every woman with endo, and we pay special attention to their history of caring for patients of color.
About Our Listings
Every provider in The Maisha Circle falls into one of two categories.
Maisha Circle Vetted providers have been personally reviewed by our team for credentials, specialization, and values alignment — ensuring they practice with the same warmth, respect, and holistic perspective that Maisha Haus stands for.
Community Recommended providers have not yet gone through our formal vetting process, but have been widely recommended by women in the endo community. We share them here because access to good care matters — and we never want a great provider to go unknown.
Our newest Community Recommended providers were found through patient reviews and their own endometriosis writing. We haven't worked with them directly yet.
As always, we encourage you to do your own research and trust your instincts when choosing a provider.
