As a specialist who treats uterine fibroids at our Hallandale and Hialeah Miami, Florida locations, Dr. Duran has years of experience performing uterine fibroid embolization (UFE). UFE is a minimally invasive, outpatient procedure that embolizes the arteries to the fibroids, effectively blocking blood flow to the fibroids and causing them to shrink.

She can help you understand your condition and advise on the best treatment for you.
