World-Class Fibroid & Prostate Care in South Florida for Caribbean Patients
For many patients in Jamaica and The Bahamas, access to advanced, out-of-office, minimally invasive treatments for uterine fibroids, enlarged prostate, varicose veins, or bleeding hemorrhoids, may feel limited or overwhelming.
The good news?
You don’t have to live with these symptoms — and you don’t have to travel far to find expert care.
At South Florida Vascular Associates (SFVA) in Broward county (Ft. Lauderdale), patients from the Caribbean receive world-class vascular treatments, fair and transparent pricing, and a level of comfort that feels more like a wellness retreat than a hospital.
Why So Many Caribbean Patients Choose South Florida for Care
South Florida is one of the most important medical hubs in the Americas — especially for patients traveling from Jamaica, Bahamas, and other Caribbean destinations.

Access to Advanced, Minimally Invasive Treatments
Many conditions that once required surgery can now be treated without major incisions, general anesthesia, or long hospital stays — something not always widely available locally.
Conditions We Commonly Treat for Out-of-Town Patients
At SFVA, our focus is on minimally invasive vascular procedures that reduce risk, recovery time, and overall stress on the body.
Uterine Fibroids
Fibroids can cause:
- Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding
- Pelvic pressure or pain
- Fatigue and anemia
- A reduced quality of life
Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE)
UFE is a non-surgical, image-guided procedure that shrinks fibroids by cutting off their blood supply — without removing the uterus.
Benefits include:
- No surgery or large incisions
- Performed as an outpatient in office procedure
- Faster recovery compared to hysterectomy, a few days instead of weeks.
- Preserves the uterus and fertility
Enlarged Prostate (BPH)
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is extremely common in men over 50 and often leads to:
- Frequent urination, day and night
- Weak urine stream
- Difficulty emptying the bladder
- Interrupted sleep and daily discomfort
Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE)
PAE is a minimally invasive alternative to prostate surgery, performed through a tiny catheter inserted in the groin or wrist.
Key advantages:
- No surgery and no general anesthesia
- No sexual side effects
- Outpatient procedure
- Next day return to normal activities
