I am forever blessed/grateful for Dr. GouGou and his staff. That team brought me back to life. I am now giving a second chance of happiness without the pain that I was enduring for years.I was at 99% towards an hysterectomy because of the level of damage caused by my fibroid and the thickness in my stomach lining. He never gave up on me when trying his all to accomplish our goal. I woke up with the great life changing news that my percedure was a success. 🙌I can not move forward without share this information with any and all who is going through this in life. Please take care of yourself starting with Dr. GouGou he will change your life forever. 🙏Again, so grateful for him, his team and his love and knowledge to help us all in need. 💜

God is good to have blessed us with Dr. Gaugau. He is the best caring Doctor for women with fibroids. He is good at his work. It was a smooth effective minimally invasive surgery and he is also a nice guy. I am a witness that fibroids can fall out the uterus after the procedure. My iron levels are back to normal and my hair is growing. My quality of life is so much better and I can work more now and get back in shape. I'm so happy. May God bless you Dr. Gaugau.

Doctor Gaugau, Helped me I had really large fibroids and I was dealing with a lot of issues from having them so long. Having the surgery was the best decision I’ve ever made. It cleared all of my pain and issues and I lost weight immediately and still losing my weight my surgery was in Jan. You don’t have to suffer with long periods and all of the other things that come along with fibroids UFE surgery is the way to go the process was exactly how it was explained to me. You will be glad you made the choice to take your life back!

Fibroids have been my life for the last 15 years. I was told they were the reason my son came 2 months early by c-section. Fast forward 8 years later and I have been in the most excruciating pain the last few years and the cramps and blood clots during my periods have gotten worse and worse to the point where I am literally crying at 2am. I could no longer deal with the pain and I told my obgyn I wanted a hysterectomy (age 45). He referred me to a doctor who could perform a lyproscopic hysterectomy. The day of the surgery, the issue of a blood transfusion came up - which I told the doctor I was not taking. He told me he could not perform the surgery, so I left the hospital, completely devastated.In comes Dr. Gau :) About a year ago, I heard an ad on the radio about a minimally invasive procedure to remove fibroids. I looked the doctor up and saved the info in my phone. Fast forward to the day after my cancelled surgery, I looked the doctor up, submitted an inquiry on the website on Sunday. That Monday I received a phone all from the office asking if I could come in on Tuesday. Kesha and Dawn at the front desk are so awesome and personable. I loved chatting with them - but not more than I loved chatting with Dr. Gau. He is absolutely the best! He listens and listens and listens some more. He told me I had no business getting a hysterectomy and that I should have a pelvic MRI before I do anything else. Honestly, I cancelled two MRI appointments because I really did want a hysterectomy. But I eventually got the MRI done, ran back to Dr. Gau's office on the same day as the MRI with the CD in hand to review the results with the doctor. I literally cried in his office when he told me my issue was not fibroids - but adenomyosis - and that my uterus was 5xs the normal size. I finally found a reason for the pain and the anemia I had been dealing with for years. My surgery was scheduled two weeks later. Nurse Bonnie is the BEST! Her bedside manner is like no other. I woke up from surgery with only a band-aid on my thigh.I am writing my review 10-days after my successful embolization. Dr. Gau said everything looks good. I'm FEELING good! The first day after the surgery, the cramping was a little severe but almost the same pain I felt during every period so for me, it wasn't that bad. I rested for 7 days and I'm feeling slight cramping still because the uterus is still shrinking.Ladies - if you're looking for an alternative to a hysterectomy, please RUN - don't walk - to schedule an appt with Dr. Gau. He is absolutely amazing. The reviews don't lie. I wish I could have him as my primary care. He really cares for his patients. His whole team is amazing from beginning to end.
