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.

What people are saying…

  • “Dr. Prabakar is the best doctor I have ever had. Bar none. I moved away and drive 1.5–2 hours each way to meet her sometimes because, yes, she is that good. I had a really traumatic fertility experience and she has supported me through all of it. Cannot recommend her enough!”

    Swetha Garimalla

  • "I was referred to Dr. Prabakar after discovering I had multiple fibroids. My experience with Dr. Prabakar was nothing short of amazing. Having a doctor that takes the time to listen and answer your questions and keep you informed seems so simple, but truly was an overall great experience. Dr. Prabakar and team was able to get my myomectomy scheduled quickly. When discussing my options, Dr. Prabakar made me feel very comfortable and calm despite my past experience. After my surgery, she took the time to check in a few times while I was recovering. Dr. Prabakar was so personable, has great bedside manner, and is patient. I would not hesitate to recommend her!"

  • After 13 years of living with Fibroid Tumors I was seen by Dr. Prabakar, it was one of the best days of my life! No more 20 day cycles, bladder pressure and discomfort. Thank you Dr. Prabakar for a successful surgery!!!

  • "As someone who's had adenomyosis, a hysterectomy, and is now going through perimenopause, it was a miracle to find Dr. Prabakar. She demonstrates wonderful bedside manner with a kind, compassionate, professional demeanor. I felt seen and heard by hear, not rushed out the door... which is a big change from other doctors. I can not speak highly enough of Dr. Prabakar and her expert skill level especially when caring for women! Honestly, I feel more empowered going through perimenopause after seeing Dr. Prabakar."

  • "Can't say enough good things about Dr. Prabakar and her office. My wife has had non stop heavy bleeding for more than a month, and her regular gynecologist from Stanford Health wasn't doing much to help alleviate the issue. Within a week and a half since I picked the phone to call Lamorinda Gynecology, my wife was diagnosed, options presented, root cause confirmed (adenomysosis) and procedure completed to stop the bleeding. I have never seen a doctor in the US work this fast! Everything with our experience is excellent, from communications, financial transparency, and most importantly, bedside manner. We have been super blessed to have found Dr. Prabakar at the time of need."
