Dr. Gaugau provides exceptional service and care, even years later. I originally saw Dr. Gaugau in 2023 to address uterine fibroids. The procedure went well, as did post operation follow ups. I recently saw Dr. Gaugau to answer some questions that came up as a result of some recent imaging that I had done. He was able to walk me through the old MRI images that he had done as well as the recent CAT scan images that I brought along for the visit and help explain what the new images were suggesting. He’s such a great doctor. I’d recommend him and his team to anyone!

It has been about seven months since my procedure, and I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made for my health and quality of life.I was very nervous in the beginning and actually took over a year before I felt ready to move forward. Looking back now, I’m so grateful that I did. My recovery went well, and the long-term results have been incredible. My periods are now light, last about three days, and I have no cramping at all which still feels unreal to say. I’ve dealt with extremely painful, heavy periods since my teenage years, and now at 35, I finally feel relief.I intentionally waited several months before writing this review because I wanted to truly see how my body responded over time. While I noticed improvements early on, the past couple of months have really confirmed that this procedure was absolutely worth it. The changes have been consistent and life-changing.If I were ever faced with fibroids again or any similar complications in the future, I would not hesitate to choose this procedure again. I’m incredibly thankful for the care, reassurance, and expertise throughout the process. This decision has genuinely improved my day-to-day life, and I’m so happy I trusted myself and my doctor.

Dr.Gau Gau was very helpful. He treated me as an individual. Therefore my diagnosis was based on my personal circumstances. He was kind polite and professional. The office is very clean and bright. The staff are also nice, polite and friendly. I strongly recommend The Clinton Fibroid Center at Image Guided Surgery.

LIFE CHANGING!My review is long overdue, as I had my procedure on May 27, 2022. I only wish I’d found Dr. Gaugau sooner, as now I am in perimenopause and UFE could’ve helped me tremendously during my younger years.Although recovery for me was BRUTAL, it was all worth it. I now have ZERO cramps, when before, the cramping was debilitating. I used to bleed for more than a week and the clots that came out of me were insane. Now, I only use pantiliners and light-flow pads. Dr. Gaugau was wonderful from beginning to end. The ladies who assisted him in the office/provided reception, were absolute jewels (I feel bad that I can’t remember their names).I deducted a star because I had an experience that I did not like: the (white) nurse who assisted Dr. Gaugau during my procedure asked probing questions about my tattoos (that she was only able to see because I was in a hospital gown). Questioning a patient while she's in a vulnerable state about her decision to make modifications to her body, is offensive and highly unprofessional. I do not recall her name, as it’s going on four years, but I’m hoping she’s no longer part of his staff. Aside from this, I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Gaugau.
