“Before visiting Dr. Higgins, I suffered for over 10 years with uterine Fibroids, experiencing severe cramps, heavy bleeding, stomach pains, and anemia. After a referral and consultation, Dr. Higgins recommended Bilateral Uterine Artery Embolization—a procedure that doesn’t require surgical incisions and offers a quick two-week recovery. The procedure went smoothly, and by the second week, I was already feeling fantastic. Six months later, my energy levels soared, and my periods became notably lighter, transforming my quality of life. I am immensely grateful to Dr. Higgins and his team for their exceptional care and support. Thank you for changing my life.”

“Battling Fibroids since 23, I faced worsening symptoms over the years. Initially advised to undergo a hysterectomy, I sought natural remedies and later, a myomectomy, which provided temporary relief. The symptoms returned, leading me to Dr. Mikhail Higgins in Nassau for a minimally invasive procedure, despite skepticism from my gynecologist. In my forties, post-procedure, my life has transformed: no more heavy bleeding or painful periods. I advocate for this treatment, highlighting my journey to freedom.”

After consulting with doctors, I underwent a less invasive Uterine Fibroid Embolization by Dr. Mikhail Higgins, addressing symptoms like heavy periods and bloating. The procedure significantly improved my quality of life, including lighter periods and reduced pain. I strongly recommend this treatment for fibroid sufferers, emphasizing the importance of following post-operative instructions for optimal recovery.”
