Fibroids can quietly interfere with your ability to get or stay pregnant. But with the right specialist care, many women reclaim their fertility and their hope.

CIGC’s LAAM procedure, developed and performed by fellowship-trained minimally invasive GYN surgeons, removes fibroids at the root through just two tiny incisions. Most patients go home the same day, even with large or complex fibroids. We also participate with many commercial insurance plans.

Research Highlights: Long-term heart disease risk among women diagnosed with uterine fibroids was more than 80% higher than in women without uterine fibroids, according to a 10-year study of more than 2.7 million U.S. women. The elevated heart...

When the uterine lining grows thicker than it should, your body is telling you something.

Endometrial hyperplasia happens when the endometrium builds up abnormally—often from too much estrogen—and it can lead to heavy bleeding, irregular cycles, and in some cases, an increased risk of endometrial cancer.

Understanding which type you have matters. Different forms carry different risks, and proper diagnosis guides the right treatment path. At CIGC, our minimally invasive GYN specialists assess complex uterine conditions every day, helping patients get clarity, protect fertility, and plan next steps with confidence. 🌿

If you’re experiencing abnormal bleeding or persistent pelvic symptoms, don’t ignore them—early evaluation can make all the difference.

This Thanksgiving, we want to thank you for trusting us with your care. For more than twenty years, it has been our privilege to help women find relief, hope, and a path back to themselves. 🧡

We are grateful every time a patient tells us she finally feels well after years of pain. We celebrate with those who become pregnant after fibroids or endometriosis once stood in the way. We are honored when someone shares that a minimally invasive hysterectomy helped her regain her comfort, confidence, and quality of life.

Wishing you a warm and happy Thanksgiving from all of us at CIGC. 🍁

"I couldn’t believe how seamless the process was — from the time I had a consultation with Dr. D until recovery, it was amazing. I couldn’t hope for anything better than the experience I had.”

Desiree chose UFE because she feared a hysterectomy. It left her in pain for months and didn't shrink her large fibroids. Her minimally invasive hysterectomy at CIGC changed everything. Two tiny incisions. No hospital stay. A recovery she didn’t think was possible. This is Desiree’s story.

After a failed fibroid embolization, Desiree found relief through CIGC’s DualPortGYN functional partial hysterectomy—performed through two tiny incisions with minimal pain, no hospital stay, and preservation of her ovaries and cervix.

“Watch and wait” isn’t always as harmless as it sounds. Large fibroids — those that enlarge the uterus to 10–20 cm — can put significant pressure on the urinary tract. This can cause constant urgency, difficulty emptying your bladder, or even ureter blockage that can impact kidney function if left unaddressed. And this is only one of several risks associated with watch-and-wait management.

If fibroids are affecting your daily life or causing symptoms that feel concerning, you deserve clear information and safe, effective options.

At CIGC, our fertility-sparing LAAM® myomectomy removes fibroids of all sizes in an outpatient setting with a 10–14 day recovery. And for those who prefer or medically need a hysterectomy, our minimally invasive approach offers a 7–10 day recovery with no hospital stay required. We also participate with most major commercial insurance plans.

Adenomyosis is common—yet still so often misdiagnosed.

It occurs when the endometrial lining grows into the muscle of the uterus, and estrogen causes it to worsen over time. Many women describe the pain as child-bearing–like, paired with heavy bleeding and clots that make daily life difficult to manage.Accurate diagnosis requires a clinician who truly understands this disease.

Adenomyosis can be focal, diffuse, or form an adenomyoma. Diffuse disease is often the most severe, leading to significant pain, heavy bleeding, and a higher likelihood of infertility—and many women reach this point without ever having received a clear diagnosis.

If you’ve been dismissed, told “everything looks normal,” or if you already have a diagnosis but want to understand your minimally invasive options, you are not alone. After more than 20 years treating adenomyosis, we understand how validating and life-changing it is when your symptoms are finally taken seriously.

Every woman deserves expert, compassionate care from specialists who truly know this disease.

Women shouldn’t have to become experts in their own pain just to be believed.

If you’ve ever had to Google your symptoms, explain them over and over, or been told it’s “just period pain”—you’re not alone.
That’s not empowerment. That’s medical gaslighting.

Consistent pain isn’t normal.
Being dismissed isn’t acceptable.
You deserve doctors who listen, believe, and actually help. 💛

Let’s talk about it:
Have you ever felt dismissed when describing your pain?

Endometriosis isn’t rare—it affects at least 1 in 10 women.
Yet it still takes an average of 7 years to be diagnosed.

That’s seven years of being told the pain is “normal.”
Pain with s*x, urination, bowel movements, daily life—it’s not.

Real relief begins with recognition—and with care from specialists trained to treat it.
Women deserve to be heard, believed, and treated with the expertise their pain deserves. 💛
