About USA Fibroid Centers
USA Fibroid Centers is a national network of outpatient medical centers specializing in the non-surgical treatment of uterine fibroids with a focus on Uterine Fibroid Embolization. The company was founded with the aim of providing effective and minimally invasive alternatives to hysterectomy for women suffering from symptomatic fibroids. We employ highly trained interventional radiologists in over 40 clinics across the United States including in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Florida, Texas and Virginia. We’ve helped hundreds of individuals enjoy their lives without fibroid symptoms using an innovative and minimally invasive treatment called Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE).
Our Background
At USA Fibroid Centers, our goal is to focus on patient needs, which is mirrored after the ideals of our founders, Dr. Flora and Dr. Yan Katsnelson.
Every year, close to 300,000 hysterectomies are performed to treat fibroids; however, many hysterectomies are considered medically unnecessary. In the U.S., over 20 percent of women believe a hysterectomy is the only way to treat their fibroid symptoms.
Dr. Flora and Dr. Yan Katsnelson realized that many women with uterine fibroids mistakenly thought surgery was the only treatment option. This realization influenced them to found USA Fibroid Centers in order to raise awareness about UFE and provide non-surgical treatment choices for individuals with fibroids.
Our story started with a passion to ensure women had options for uterine fibroids outside of invasive surgeries like a hysterectomy. Hearing the stories of women suffering provided the fuel to launch an innovative outpatient center with multiple locations whose focus would solely be in UFE. Our years of experience has been covered in notable publications such as Healio, Forbes, Very Well Health, Ebony, Livestrong, and more.
Today, USA Fibroid Centers works hard to provide a personalized experience for all patients. We want you to have everything you need to make the best decision for you. This is why our specialists will meet with you to answer questions, discuss options, and create a specialized treatment plan tailored to your individual needs. When we help patients make informed decisions regarding their health, we’re fulfilling our organization’s goals. We have helped thousands of women find relief from fibroids through UFE and it is in the volume of these procedures at our centers that we can confidently determine if women are a candidate for the procedure. Our goal is to reach and help as many women as possible that were not aware they had options from top rated fibroid specialists near them.
What We Do
At USA Fibroid Centers, we provide the best in non-surgical fibroid treatment using Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE). This procedure is often also referred to as Uterine Artery Embolization. UFE is an FDA-approved treatment performed in our outpatient fibroid centers. UFE allows our patients to return home directly after the procedure and resume their daily activities between two to seven days following treatment. This makes UFE an ideal solution for busy individuals, caregivers, and those who want to avoid surgery.
During this simple treatment, one of our doctors will make a small incision in the upper thigh so that a catheter can be inserted. Using an ultrasound, the doctor will guide the catheter to the artery supplying blood to the fibroid. Then, small particles will flow through the catheter and block blood flow to the fibroid, causing it to shrink. After the procedure, you will be able to rest before going back to your home to finish your recovery.
When you come to us for treatment, we’ll make your personal care and comfort our top priorities. Our physicians are open and honest and will present all materials as transparently as possible. Our doctors make it their mission to provide all information about the procedure and recovery to their patients.
