Joana Sun, RN, FNP-C
Welcome
Do you have diagnosed or suspected endometriosis? ​Have you been brushed off when you bring up your symptoms to your clinician? I am here to help. As an experienced family nurse practitioner and fellow endometriosis patient, I am dedicated to empowering you on your journey towards managing your disease.
About The Endometriosis Collective
The Endometriosis Collective is committed to offering compassionate and specialized telehealth consultation services for individuals suffering from endometriosis. My focus is on providing a secure, convenient, and understanding space for patients to explore their symptoms and work towards improved quality of life.
Consultation Services
Initial Comprehensive Consult ($290)
One 60 minute telehealth appointment + included follow-up plan review. Includes detailed record review and follow-up plan included within 7 days.
Follow-up Telehealth Consult ($100)
This 30 minute option is for established patients for follow-up care or pre-operative/post-operative support. I am here for you every step of the way as part of your healthcare team and hope to establish a long-term relationship to help manage your disease.
My Approach
Comprehensive Care
Your consultation always includes a comprehensive plan. You will leave your visit with a deeper understanding of your symptoms and clear objectives. If applicable, it may include appropriate test orders for imaging or bloodwork, referrals to other team members, and medication prescriptions (non-controlled substances only). *I have no financial ties to any practitioners or supplements.
Empathy and Support
Empathy forms the foundation of my approach. Endometriosis is a highly emotional, complex, whole-body disease. I provide a compassionate and inclusive environment where you will feel heard, validated, and supported throughout your health journey.
Tailored Guidance
I offer tailored guidance to every patient. Since no two people will have the same experience with endometriosis, therefore my recommendations are individualized for each person.
Patient Stories
"I have never felt so seen, heard, supported like I do with Joana. For 10+ years I have felt so alone with this silent and mysterious illness until I connected with Joana. Her advice/tips/even recipes have been a tremendous help. I am preparing for life-changing surgery and feel less nervous and better prepared because of Joana's support. She has made me feel less alone in navigating my endometriosis diagnosis, and seeing a way I can live without being chained to painful chronic illness. I wish I had gone to her sooner as I now have a better handle on lessening/managing my symptoms and those painful flare ups. Thank you so much Joana for everything!"

Common Questions
Why don't you take insurance?
I do not bill insurance directly so that your visits can be unhurried, personalized, and directed by your goals, not billing codes. You’ll receive a superbill to submit to your insurance for out-of-network reimbursement and can use HSA/FSA funds.
How can I schedule a consultation?
You can easily book a telehealth appointment through the scheduling button below. If you need schedule accommodations or if you have any questions, please reach out through email: joana@endometriosiscollective.com.
​
I use a HIPAA compliant software called simplepractice.
​
I currently can only see patients who are located in the state of California (I plan on opening up to patients in New York soon).
What can I expect during a consultation? Can telehealth help with endometriosis?
Before our first visit, you’ll complete a questionnaire and can share any prior medical records. The initial appointment focuses on gathering your history, and a few days to a week later we’ll meet again to review the disease process and create a personalized plan that fits your life.
​
I am also always here for follow-up visits to adjust the plan.
​
Telehealth is effective for comprehensive symptom review, treatment planning, medication guidance, and ongoing management — especially when physical examinations are not immediately required.

I use HIPAA-compliant telehealth software to protect your privacy. You’ll receive secure instructions before your visit.
