“The level of care and compassion that I have experienced here is unmatched.”

“The absolute BEST experience you could have for a medical procedure! I had UFE at the hospital two years ago and I had some new symptoms. Instead of going back there, I was specifically looking for someone that had experience with doing UFE for patients who already had it. Dr. Lalazerian spent plenty of time with me explaining the procedure, discussing my MRI and Ultrasound results, and what to realistically expect.Right there, I knew I made the right choice. Apart from his impressive background and experience, Dr. Lalazerian is kind, compassionate and helpful. He really cares about his patients and is very thorough. He is great at what he does, but he also cares about his staff and his patients. On the day of the procedure, I noticed that the wonderful team in the procedure room worked well together, they kept me informed with each step. They were not only highly skilled and efficient, but friendly and encouraging. I got to watch the embolization on the monitor, I could see the fibroids and embolization process in real time. Everything from administering the pain medication, pre procedure instructions and aftercare is extremely well thought out and organized, as shown in the paperwork and in the follow up reminder call. If I had any questions after the procedure, Dr. Lalazerian gave me the answers I needed and advised me of what to do next. The level of care and compassion that I have experienced here is unmatched. I recovered very well and very comfortably, and I am so grateful to Dr. Lalazerian, Kimberly, and the entire team at ProFibroidMD. Thank you so much!”

“I recommend every lady that has fibroid issues to do the embolism and avoid hysterectomy / major surgery.”

“I recommend every lady that has fibroid issues to do the embolism and avoid hysterectomy / major surgery. Dr. Lalezarian and his team are experts. They provided extensive care before, during ,and after my procedure. I’m back to my normal weight, my gym, my laughs and life because the extra weight and the pain are gone and no scars, most importantly :)”

“This procedure changed my life. No pain, no heavy bleeding, no discomfort.”

“My fibroids and the symptoms that came along with them were horrible. I would lose so much blood, the pain, the discomfort, I had become chronically anemic. I was given the option of hysterectomy only- by many OBGYNs. I refused, and I wanted and looked for an alternative solution. I did not want to be operated on nor to go through such a drastic option. With Dr. Lalezarian, procedure was less than an hour. I was home after the procedure and back to work after a week. This procedure changed my life. No pain, no heavy bleeding, no discomfort, my iron deficiency has replenished, no down time If you don’t want surgery, Dr. Lalezarian and his amazing assistant Jennifer is all you need.”

“I highly recommend this procedure to anyone who is on the fence. You will be so glad you did this.”

“I am usually private about my health issues but this situation is an exception for me so I want to share so I can encourage other women. I had a 12 inch fibroid inside and outside of my uterus and I was told to have a partial hysterectomy by a frantic OBGYN. I didn’t want to undergo something so serious so I opted for embolism of the blood vessels that feed the fibroid, I was very nervous of the size prior to procedure and the major discomfort I was in. The procedure was quick, and almost no discomfort, the days following were as to be expected…it’s now two weeks later and my bulge in my belly is going down, my body is calming down, fibroid is shrinking to the touch and I can resume normal exercise. I was able to travel a week from the procedure for a weekend. I am still a bit sore but nothing like if I got a hysterectomy! It is going way better than I anticipated, the doctors and nurses were professional and nice and I highly recommend this procedure to anyone who is on the fence. You will be so glad you did this. I encourage you.”

“If you are dealing with fibroids and don’t want the trauma of an open surgery, I would highly recommend Dr. Lalezarian as your first line of attack.”

“Dr. Lalezarian is a gem of a doctor, and I am glad I found him. My journey with fibroids was one that has been long. When initially diagnosed with fibroids, I experienced fear-mongering by my former OBGYN when inquiring about UFE as an option. Over two years and a lot of money spent on appointments with potential new, fancy OBGYNs, I found Dr. Lalezarian. After a brief phone consultation, I later scheduled my procedure with his dedicated assistant, Jennifer. On the day of my appointment, my procedure took less than an hour, and the downtime was minimal! I am a month and some days post-procedure and feeling great thus far. My first cycle was like night and day, so hopefully, this continues! I’m starting to see a difference in my stomach and I don’t constantly have to pee! If you are dealing with fibroids and don’t want the trauma of an open surgery, I would highly recommend Dr. Lalezarian as your first line of attack.”

“Dr. Lalezarian performed a procedure that literally changed the trajectory of my life.”

“I had pretty much lost hope that I would ever be in good health again. I had been diagnosed with a rare vascular condition and I had a myriad of other symptoms that for years no other doctor could explain. After my first appointment, I knew that I had found my medical team; they quickly had me in to the office for tests and Dr. Lalezarian performed a procedure that literally changed the trajectory of my life. He and his staff are proactive, compassionate, and they trust that patients understand their body and I have always felt heard and understood. I am so lucky to have found their practice and I could not recommend them more.”

“My condition has extremely improved after the procedure. I’m glad I found him.”

“I had a very good experience with Dr. Lalezarian. He is very professional, patient, and really took the time to explain about the procedure. The procedure was quick. I was in and out in less than two hours. He personally called to check on me to see how I’m doing after the procedure. My condition has extremely improved after the procedure. I’m glad I found him.”

“This procedure REALLY changed my quality of life and I am forever indebted.”

“Absolutely awesome service from everyone I encountered! I had been suffering from severe pain from fibroid issues. I had been offered hysterectomy from other doctors. I just wasn’t comfortable taking that route. I had my UFE at this location in April 2021 and I couldn’t be happier. My symptoms have dramatically decreased and I am ecstatic about my results! This procedure REALLY changed my quality of life and I am forever indebted.”
