His staff is also always very patient and polite, i am truly grateful for my entire experience with them! Its rare to find a doctor who truly cares, this office makes all the difference in a positive ufe procedure.

Dr.GauGau is such a compassionate physician. My Obgyn gave me one option to get rid of my fibroids and that was a hysterectomy. She had the audacity to ask me why I wanted to keep my uterus if I didnt want any more children.I had heard Dr.GauGau ads for several years but decided I would just deal with the fibriods. Finally, I decided to have a consultation (because my stomach was getting bigger) and he told me a hysterectomy was an option, BUT it wasnt my only option. I liked how he explained everything, in a way I could understand and he took his time. My procedure was staged (second procedure 8/14/25) because one of my vessels was turned/twisted making it difficult to advance the catheter. Honestly, I'm glad it was staged because my pain level both times has been almost non existent, I feel pressure in my stomach area from time to time (I am on pain medication and ibuprofen), but Im up and walking around. Dr.GauGau and nurse Bonnie are a great team and the ladies at the front desk are also very professional.I'm glad I finally had UFE done. I had between 15-20 fibriods, the largest one was the size of a grapefruit😳. After the first part of the procedure, my cycle was lighter and my sense if urgency to use the bathroom also decreased. I cant wait to see the difference in the size of my stomach now that everything had been done.

Update - I had my procedure last week and Nurse Bonnie was very clear and concise about the post care after the procedure, I felt so well prepared to manage pain and my healing. Dr Gau Gau gave me relief from a long time of pain. I was able to stop the pain meds within 48 hours and began moving around very well. This was the best decision I made.Dr GauGau and staff are very professional, pleasant and thorough. My consultation left me very informed and I scheduled my procedure before leaving the office.

Dr.G is an amazing doctor,. He’s very patient and kind and I always have a very pleasant visit every single time I meet with him. I would definitely recommend Dr. G. It’s really hard finding a doctor nowadays that truly cares about their patients. I wish more doctors were as caring as Dr. G

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Dr. Nordine Gaugau is one of the most friendly and knowledgeable doctors I’ve met. He’s very accommodating and takes the time to really educate you about your condition. He breaks things down in a way that’s easy to understand and even draws pictures as visual aids, which makes a huge difference. You can tell he truly cares and wants his patients to feel informed and comfortable. Highly recommend!

Everything was great, from the front desk staff to Nurse Bonnie and Dr. Gaugau.Nurse Bonnie was truly awesome during my procedure. She explained everything thoroughly, ensured I understood each step, and significantly helped ease my pre-surgery anxiety. She is a game changer!Dr. Gaugau is incredibly knowledgeable. He explained everything in clear, understandable terms, was patient in answering all my questions, and helped me feel completely at ease with my decision to proceed with the procedure.The front desk staff was also excellent—nice, attentive, friendly, and very helpful. The entire practice is just awesome!
