You deserve better than just managing symptoms. Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) is a minimally invasive, non-surgical procedure that shrinks fibroids, relieves your symptoms, and gets you back to the life you love — with no hysterectomy required.

Take the Free Fibroid Quiz See How UFE WorksUFE (Uterine Fibroid Embolization) is a minimally invasive procedure that shrinks fibroids by cutting off their blood supply — without a single incision. It's FDA-cleared, widely covered by insurance, and has helped hundreds of thousands of women reclaim their lives.
"I had fibroids for 6 years and suffered every single month. After UFE, within 3 months my periods went back to normal. I wish I had done this sooner. No surgery, no hospital stay — I was back at work in 10 days."

Insurance coverage is one of the biggest concerns we hear from patients — and we want to put your mind at ease right away.
UFE is a covered benefit under Medicare and Medicaid when medically indicated — which it typically is for symptomatic fibroids.
UFE is covered by the vast majority of private insurance plans including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, and Humana.
Our team handles all insurance verification before your consultation — so you know exactly what's covered before you ever commit to anything.
Call us and we will verify your benefits at no cost to you — before your first appointment.

"I was wearing adult diapers to work because my bleeding was so heavy. After UFE, my periods are completely normal. This procedure gave me my life back. I can't thank my doctor enough."
"I had a fibroid the size of a grapefruit. My ob-gyn pushed hysterectomy. A second opinion led me here. UFE was done in 90 minutes, I was home the next day, and the fibroid shrank 60% in 6 months."
"I was so afraid of surgery. The UFE team made me feel safe and truly heard. Recovery was tough for the first week, but by week two I was walking normally. My symptoms are 95% gone."
