For Patients Outside of California

Patient Concierge

Many women travel from outside California to take advantage of the continuity of care provided by Dr. Bruce McLucas and his medical team for fibroid embolization. In fact, Dr. McLucas is the only OBGYN that performs this procedure. We’ve had patients from as far away as New York or Philadelphia and from countries such as Mexico, Nigeria, and Kuwait.

We’re here to help. Your experience before, during and after surgery should be as worry free as possible. That’s why we’ve assembled a list of resources to help with travel and accommodations.
