How to Travel to Miami to Treat Uterine Fibroids
Florida’s most comfortable and effective solution for women’s health
Sonia lives in the Bahamas and needed to solve her uterine fibroid problem. She consulted with a few doctors but the only solution she was given was a hysterectomy or myomectomy. She was hoping to find a better solution. So, through her research, she found a minimally invasive procedure that would allow her to get back to work quickly while preserving her uterus, Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE).
Sonia was not very fond of hospitals nor over nightstays. The idea of going into an operating room for surgery—or worse, staying overnight in a hospital was terrifying. For Sonia, finding a faster and safer option was a breakthrough. No scalpel, no general anesthesia. Something that would allow her to go home the same day and back to work in one week.
Sonia thought that she would have to travel far away and that the procedure was experimental and hard to reach and done in a big hospital. But she was wrong. Fortunately, Sonia learned about Uterine Fibroid Embolization performed at South Florida Vascular Associates, in Miami, Florida.
A world-class, minimally invasive solution just a short flight away. Led by Dr. William Julien, a pioneer in outpatient vascular and embolization procedures with more than 30 years of experience, SFVA offers safe, innovative treatments in a relaxing, spa-like environment — completely different from the stress of traditional hospitals.
