Got Fibroids? I got you.
You are at the right place.
You deserve more than "just watch and wait."
If you've been handed a fibroid diagnosis—and handed a lot of confusion along with it—you're in the right place.
I'm Dr. Prabakar, known as The Fibroid Doc. I help women take back control from fibroids: the heavy bleeding that derails your days, the pain you've been told to just live with, and the fertility questions your doctor never fully answered.
Fibroids are one of the most common conditions women face—and one of the most undertreated. Too many women are rushed into surgery, or told nothing can be done. Neither is true.
Here, you’ll get the full picture:
Why fibroids happen—and why your symptoms are real, not an overreaction
Every treatment option—from lifestyle options to non-surgical approaches like UFE to uterus-preserving surgery—so you can make decisions that are right for your body and your life
What it looks like to work with a doctor who actually listens
Whether you just received your diagnosis or you've been managing fibroids for years, this is where you stop surviving them—and start making informed, empowered choices.
You don't have to figure this out alone.
The Fibroid Circle
A community of informed, supported, and empowered women.
I am on a mission to change the fear, uncertainty, and difficult choices women often face due to the lack of information and support they need.
The Fibroid Circle was created to provide a physician-led space where women can access clear, trustworthy education, ask questions, and connect with a community that understands what they are going through.
My goal is to make sure women navigating fibroids feel informed, supported, and empowered to make decisions that are right for their bodies and their lives.

You deserve a doctor who takes your fibroids—and your life—seriously.
I'm Dr. Cheruba Prabakar, a board-certified OB/GYN and fellowship-trained minimally invasive surgeon. And I built my practice around one core belief: a hysterectomy is never the only answer.
After four years of OB/GYN residency, I spent two additional years in specialized fellowship training—focused entirely on the most advanced, least invasive surgical techniques for treating gynecologic conditions. That means when you sit across from me, you're not just getting a generalist who "also treats fibroids." You're getting a surgeon who has dedicated her career to mastering every option available to you.
But expertise alone isn't enough. I know that many of my patients arrive here exhausted—from heavy periods, chronic pain, and from feeling unseen by the medical system. I take the time to actually listen. To explain your imaging. To walk through every treatment option, from watchful waiting to cutting-edge minimally invasive procedures, so that the decision you make is truly yours.
My goal isn't just to treat your fibroids. It's to give you your life back.
