Dr Susan Evans
Dr Evans studied medicine at the University of Tasmania, and completed her specialist training in Adelaide in 1996. Since then she has worked as a laparoscopic surgeon specialising in the management of endometriosis and pelvic pain. The first edition of ‘Endometriosis and pelvic pain’ was published in 2005 and the updated second edition was published in 2009. Dr Evans believes that to truly treat a woman’s pelvic pain requires an individualised approach, which aims to manage as many of her problems as possible. Her practice is the Adelaide branch of Endometriosis Care Centres of Australia.
