NYC's #1 Fibroid Treatment Center

We are a national network of outpatient Fibroid Centers specializing in the leading non-surgical treatment for fibroids: Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE). UFE is a safe, effective procedure with a short recovery period and no hospital stay.

Uterine fibroids are benign tumors made of muscular and fibrous tissues, typically growing in or on the walls of the uterus. They are the most common tumor of the female reproductive tract. Though they are non-cancerous, they can cause significant harm to nearby organs and anemia due to heavy menstruation.

Life with fibroids is painful and challenging. Timely detection and treatment of fibroids can help you enjoy your life free from symptoms and reduce your risk for infertility and hysterectomy (surgical removal of the uterus).
