Fibroid Diagnosis & Evaluation
At our fibroid center in Elmwood Park, we provide a non-invasive evaluation during the first visit. It is a brief ultrasound test that’s comfortable for patients. Our test shows the location, size, and severity of fibroids and helps inform your treatment plan. After the exam, your doctor will create an individualized plan to address your unique needs.
Conditions Treated
We treat uterine fibroids and adenomyosis at our non-surgical treatment center.
- Uterine fibroids: These are non-cancerous growths that develop on or inside the uterus, causing prolonged menstrual bleeding, pelvic pressure, and fertility issues.
- Adenomyosis: When uterine tissue grows into the muscular uterine wall, causing the uterus to thicken, swell, and break down, leading to bleeding, uterine swelling, and painful intercourse.
Getting treatment can help improve symptoms and prevent these conditions from progressing.

Uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure that treats fibroids without surgery or removing the uterus.

If you’re considering UFE in Elmwood Park, IL, our experienced doctors will determine whether this treatment is right for you based on your symptoms, medical history, and ultrasound results. Most patients return home the same day and resume normal activities much sooner than with traditional fibroid surgery.

Excellent experience. I was extremely nervous but the doctor and his whole team of nurses, assistants and front desk staff made my experience amazing. I’m so happy I chose Dr. White and his clinic. Thank you. One month update after UFE is still well above average experience. The recovery is tough but Dr. White is very responsive to any after hours concerns or needs. There are not many clinics for these types of procedures and specialty. I recommend this one. From the initial visit to post op 5 stars.
I came to see if UFE was an option for after being to numerous hospitals. The doctor was more than generous with his time and walked me through the whole procedure. I felt very comfortable!
My UFE consultation went so well. I had been hearing about UFE for a while so had a lot of questions and the doctor explained them all and why the procedure would work for me. Very thorough and kind. Good bedside manner.
