USA'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 safe, effective and no hospital stay is required.

Uterine fibroids are benign tumors made of muscular and fibrous tissues, typically developing 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.
