Re: Endometrial ablation with fibroids/NYC Doc

[Guest guest]

The RE who did my very successful myo is Dr. Quagliarello at NYU

Medical Center. I was not trying to get pregnant and there was no

problem doing a myo anyway. Since he is a RE he can advise you about

fertility issues as well as being a really good surgeon. He is in

Unitedhealthcare, I don't know about other plans.
