Success Story
Jill wanted a fast recovery. Embolization got her back to work in days.
"I was thrilled to find an option other than major surgery to solve my problems with fibroids. Better yet was the fact that my recovery was days, not weeks. I missed only one day of work and was swimming even before returning to work."
