outpatient — home the same day
A hysterectomy is not your only option.
The most common surgery for fibroids removes the uterus entirely—yet a uterus-preserving option has existed for decades. Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) shrinks fibroids by cutting off their blood supply, with no incision, no hospital stay, and no hysterectomy.
Our fellowship-trained physicians take the time to listen, explain every option, and help you make the decision that's right for your body and your life
The truth about fibroid care
You were probably never told this.
73%
of fibroid procedures are hysterectomies—the uterus removed entirely.
3.5%
are UFE—the uterus-preserving option that has existed for decades.
17%

The Procedure
How UFE works
Step 01
Insert a tiny catheter
Through a pinhole in the wrist or groin, your physician guides a thin catheter to the arteries feeding your fibroids — no surgical incision.
Step 02
Block the blood flow
Tiny particles are released to cut off the blood supply that fibroids depend on to grow, while sparing healthy tissue.
Step 03
Fibroids shrink
Over the following weeks, fibroids soften and shrink — and your symptoms ease. You go home the same day.
