Dear donda-ga:

Thank you for your question. Most of the follow list comes from the
Society

of Interventional radiology's physician database. The database is
available

here:
http://directory.scvir.org/eseries/scriptcontent/index_members_search.cfm

I am assuming you would like physicians specializing in the treatment
of

fibroid tumors through uterine artery/fibroid embolization, since as
you

probably know it appears to be the best treatment out there for
fibroids as

of now. I have also found two physicians in the New York area from 

http://www.thefibroidplace.com's physician reference list. All
physicians in

the below list perform the UFE operation in the New York City area.

The most reputable specialist out of all of these would have to be Dr.

Robert J. Min, who practices at Cornell Vascular in New York City. He
is the

Director of Uterine Fibroid and Vein Treatment at Cornell Vascular.
Here is

his contact information:

Request for Answer Clarification by donda-ga on 30 Aug 2002 10:28 PDT
Actually, I'm pretty sure that I don't want UFE - too experimental. 
I'm looking for someone who can go over all the options with me
including surgery, hormones, the whole thing.  That's why I stated
that I was looking for OB/GYN's - not Interventional Radiologists. 
Can you help on the OB/GYN/ fibroid specialist front?

Clarification of Answer by blader-ga on 30 Aug 2002 12:31 PDT
Dear donda-ga:

Sorry for the mix up. I have a revised list below, taken from
http://www.thefibroidplace.com. Also, a good number of these are also
present in my original list, as some also practice general Ob/Gyn.
Please consider talking to a UAE specialist about the risks and
benefits associated with the operation. It seems to be pretty
effective at removing fibroid tumours so far.
