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.

Thank you for allowing us to be part of your journey and for letting us support you as you continue to thrive.

Wishing you a warm and healthy 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. 💛

The real fright this Halloween? How many women are told their pain is “normal.”

Endometriosis can range from mild monthly cramps to relentless pelvic, back, or bowel pain that makes even simple tasks unbearable. Yet millions of women go undiagnosed or are told to “watch and wait” while the disease quietly disrupts their health, work, and relationships.

Endometriosis isn’t a mystery or a mood — it’s a chronic inflammatory disease that deserves specialist care and genuine compassion.

No tricks. You deserve doctors who listen, believe you, and treat the root cause. 🕯️
