Dr. John Dulemba
Supervising Physician
Before earning his college degree, Dr. John Dulemba embarked on an extraordinary adventure by joining the US Army, where he took to the skies as a helicopter pilot. He flew helicopters for a year in Vietnam and later shared his expertise as a flight instructor. In 1973, he graduated from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University with a degree in aviation science—a soaring start to his career!
Dr. Dulemba then set his sights on medicine, attending the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine (now the Perelman School of Medicine) from 1978 to 1982. After honing his skills, he completed his Ob/Gyn residency at Western Pennsylvania Hospital in Pittsburgh in 1986. Since that year, he’s been a cornerstone of private practice in Denton, Texas, dedicating nearly four decades to patient care.
His passion lies in tackling pelvic pain, laparoscopy, and endometriosis. Dr. Dulemba has performed over 4,000 standard laparoscopic endometriosis cases, showcasing his remarkable expertise. In 2007, he embraced cutting-edge technology by adopting robotic surgery, and now all his laparoscopic procedures are done robotically—totaling well over 2,000 robotic endometriosis cases. He’s also a prolific contributor to medical knowledge, having published several papers on pelvic pain, laparoscopy, endometriosis, and robotic surgery. A proud moment came in 2007 when he delivered the prestigious Sir Alec Turnbull Lecture at the Annual British Society of Gynaecologic Surgeons.
Today, Dr. John Dulemba focuses exclusively on treating patients with endometriosis and pelvic pain, with a particular interest in adhesions. From flying helicopters to pioneering robotic surgery, his journey reflects a remarkable blend of courage, skill, and compassion!
