Uterine Fibroid Treatment in Brooklyn, NY

At American Fibroid Centers, we provide uterine fibroid embolization to effectively treat uterine fibroids in Brooklyn, NY. We want women to know that major surgery is not their only option. UFE is a minimally invasive-image guided procedure that shrinks the size of fibroids without surgery. It requires no overnight hospital stay, fewer complications, and is a less invasive alternative to a hysterectomy, especially if you plan to grow your family in the future.

Dr Shams is the best, he’s not your average Doc. I choose to call him doc he talks to you and he listens and he’s always trying to find a way to work out your situation. I had a situation which was life and death and he communicated with me and my family to work towards a good and healthy life with as few complications as possible and his team of regulars whom was knowledgeable of what I was dealing with and are so comforting they make you feel like you’re in your living room Getting treatment I love ❤️ him and the team and I do and will continue to refer others to his office.In additionI just finished reading other statements from people whom have posted their experiences with Doc and his team and I was not surprised to read, that we all pretty much have had the same experiences and feel the same thumbs up 👍 Doc

I have visited Dr. Joseph N. Shame for the first time, my podiatrist advised him as a highly professional, and she was right. All the medical staff at the office was very polite and helpful. I didn’t have to wait for a long time, and the doctor was very much careful while examining me. I was sure that he was absolutely sincere in his desire to help me. So, if someone needs a good vascular doctor, I would highly recommend Dr. Sham’s office .
