    Michelle Sands

    Nassau, The Bahamas

    “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.”

    Shaniska Hanna

    Nassau, The Bahamas

    “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.”

    Rochelle Moss

    Nassau, The Bahamas

    “In 2023, I endured excruciating stomach pain leading to a gallbladder removal and a fibroid diagnosis. 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.”

    Keeshan Fowler

    Nassau, The Bahamas

    “In December 2022, I had a Uterine Artery Embolization by Dr. Mikhail Higgins, a compassionate expert. His care and thoroughness throughout made the experience comforting. The procedure, enhancing convenience by being local, led to significant health improvements—easier periods, less cramping, and a smaller waist. Grateful for the life-changing results, I highly recommend Dr. Higgins for Fibroid issues and aim to raise awareness to help others.”

    Asia Saunders

    Nassau, The Bahamas

    “Facing worsening Fibroids and severe discomfort, I sought treatment to avoid scarring from traditional surgery. In The Bahamas, Dr. Higgins offered an alternative solution, providing professional, empathetic care and a virtually scarless outcome. This transformative experience from consultation to recovery led to a significant improvement in my quality of life. Dr. Higgins is highly recommended for his ability to listen, understand, and deliver outstanding clinical results.”

    Tamisha Knowles

    Nassau, The Bahamas

    “Thank you to Dr. Higgins and the entire team. To God be all the Glory. To all the women that will read this, I just want to encourage you to call Dr. Higgins at Family Medicine Center today and book a consultation. I promise you it will change your life forever. I did not have to get a hysterectomy that would have triggered early menopause.”
