Fibroid Specialist Dr. Robert Handley
Dr. Handley specializes in UFE at North Texas Fibroids, with locations in Dallas and Flower Mound. Dr. Handley is a certified and experienced Interventional Radiologist.
During the procedure, a catheter is guided to the fibroid tumor and embolic material is injected to block the blood flow leading to the tumor. This results in the fibroid shrinking and most patients notice their symptoms improve within a few weeks.
