Before going to see Dr. Higgins I suffered from uterine Fibroids for over 10 years, having severe cramps, heavy bleeding, stomach pains and became anemic.

I got a referral to see Dr. Higgins, (who truly listens to you) after seeing my scan. After telling me that I was a perfect candidate for Bilateral Uterine Artery Embolization, a weight lifted off me to know that I can receive treatment without getting cut, and recovery time was only two weeks.

The time came for my UAE. It went well just like he said: one day in the hospital overnight and I would be released the next day. My recovery time is only two weeks? I couldn’t believe it; from that second week, I was already moving around..my body felt amazing.

Six months later, I felt like a brand-new woman. My energy level was up. I had light periods I had never experienced. I don’t even know what it is to have a full period…bleeding was light. So, to have Dr. Higgins’ procedure was a game changer for me. I just want to thank Dr. Higgins and his team. They were amazing. My experience was amazing with them. Thank you so much, truly grateful.

I have suffered from Fibroids since I was 23. When diagnosed, my doctor suggested a hysterectomy, but I sought natural remedies instead. My symptoms worsened over the years, leading to heavy bleeding, bloating, and pain. At 32, I had a myomectomy, which brought temporary relief.

In 2023, two significant dates changed my life: August 13th and October 13th. On August 13th, I woke up with excruciating stomach pain and needed emergency gallbladder removal. During post-surgery, Dr. Don Major discovered I had fibroids and urged me to consult Dr. Graham Cates. An ultrasound confirmed multiple fibroids, and we discussed treatment options. Uncomfortable with invasive surgery, I chose Uterine Fibroid Embolization.

In December 2022, I underwent a Uterine Artery Embolization procedure, which was performed by a highly skilled and compassionate Doctor…the one and only Dr. Mikhail Higgins. His kindness, thoroughness, and understanding of my long-standing struggle with Fibroids made me feel truly cared for throughout the process. The fact that the procedure could be done locally added to the convenience and comfort of the experience. He was accessible and answered all my questions. The process leading up to the procedure was thorough, ensuring that I felt informed and prepared every step of the way. My incision was so small that I can no longer see it!

Since the procedure, I have noticed wonderful improvements in my health and well-being. My periods have become more manageable, and I no longer experience the intense cramping that once plagued me. Additionally, I have seen a noticeable reduction in my stomach size, losing 2 inches around my waist. I am grateful for the positive impact this procedure and my doctor’s expertise have had on my quality of life. I wholeheartedly recommend him to any woman dealing with Fibroids. I now make it my life’s mission to spread the word if only to help just one woman.

With constant abdominal pains, bloating and constipation, I had given up at this point. After complaining of constant pain, my OBGYN diagnosed me with Fibroids but said they were small and every woman had them and that I had nothing to worry about. A year later they were huge and were pushing against other organs and I needed surgery right away. Pain became so severe. I would lay on a cold tile floor just for some type of relief.

Surgery was my only option but I didn’t want to be cut and have an ugly scar; faith had it that another method was available in The Bahamas. This was where I met Dr. Higgins and my life changed forever. Dr. Higgins made the process from consultation to surgery to recovery the best process ever! He was so professional and he listened, really listened and made me feel at ease. You can’t even see where I’ve been cut; it’s amazing! I highly recommend Dr. Higgins. He listens. He understands. He delivers!

By 2019, my condition worsened, and I felt exhausted and lightheaded…In 2021, my life changed dramatically for the better. I suffered from heavy periods, became anemic, and lived in fear of hemorrhaging in public. After years of searching for a solution, I reluctantly considered a hysterectomy. Dr. Cates then referred me to Dr. Mikhail Higgins, who introduced me to a minimally invasive procedure for treating uterine fibroids.

Despite delays due to Covid-19, I finally underwent the procedure in November 2021. Dr. Higgins’ team…was exceptional, and the UAE was successful. My menstrual blood flow reduced by 95%; my energy and confidence soared, and my blood count stabilized.

I encourage all women facing similar issues to consult Dr. Higgins. Modern technology offers life-changing solutions without invasive surgery. Don’t let fear stop you—seek information and make a change.
