Patient Testimonials

After years of heavy bleeding and pain, I finally had my hysterectomy at 29—and thanks to the compassionate, knowledgeable team at North Star, my recovery was smoother than I ever expected. Their thorough pre- and post-op guidance helped me navigate the transition through menopause and emotional changes with confidence.

I had an ablation, and my mom had a hysterectomy. I didn’t think I’d want kids, but the loss of choice hit me harder than expected. North Star gave me the time, space, and options to make the right call for my body without pressure or judgment.

I was 31 and facing a hysterectomy for a grapefruit-sized fibroid and cyst. The idea of losing my uterus was devastating, but the pain and complications left me no choice. North Star provided a second opinion, and more importantly, a sense of control and compassion.

I was stuck between three choices and paralyzed by anxiety: an endosee, a D&C, or just monitoring. I needed clarity and kindness, both of which I found at North Star. Their team helped me weigh my options without pressure, and I finally felt heard.

I lived with worsening bladder issues, pain, and nerve symptoms only to learn a massive fibroid was the cause. No one had connected the dots until I got definitive care. North Star understood the urgency and gave me a path forward without months of waiting.

I scheduled an ablation and tubal ligation, but complications and unexpected costs left me feeling defeated. With my wedding coming up, I didn’t want to face menopause or another failed procedure. North Star offered options I wasn’t told about elsewhere and a team who really listened.

I was overwhelmed after learning I had a fibroid and was told to just wait and monitor it. The pain, anxiety, and uncertainty were unbearable. Finding a place like North Star Fibroid Center that offered clear answers and minimally invasive treatment options gave me hope and peace of mind.

Since undergoing the fibroid embolization procedure, my quality of life has improved tremendously. I have more energy, significantly less discomfort, and a renewed sense of freedom in my day-to-day activities. The symptoms that once disrupted my routine are now a thing of the past, and I finally feel like myself again. It’s been such a relief and has made a huge difference in how I feel overall, it’s been amazing!!

To any woman considering this procedure—do it. It’s truly life-changing. I understand how overwhelming and scary it can be, but the relief and results are worth it. Dr. Astani and the team made me feel informed, supported, and cared for every step of the way. This procedure was truly life-changing for me and I couldn’t be happier! You don’t have to keep living with the symptoms and constant pain, and this procedure could be the answer you’ve been looking for.
