The Los Angeles Fibroid Treatment Center (LAFTC) is a unique medical group devoted solely to treating women who suffer from uterine fibroids. Our emphasis is on embolization, a non-surgical technique we introduced over a decade ago. We are responsible for thousands of successful treatments, and we actively train other physicians across the country to perform this safe, minimally invasive procedure designed to allow many women to avoid surgery and find permanent relief from uterine fibroids.

LAFTC was established by Bruce McLucas, MD, a graduate of Yale Medical School and a board-certified obstetrician and gynecologist. Dr. McLucas is one of the only gynecologists in America accredited in the skills necessary to perform embolization, allowing him to participate in every step of your treatment.

The technique has been practiced with impressive outcomes for a decade, but Dr. McLucas remains on the forefront. He is currently working with Mentice to help develop a simulator that will aid in teaching the successful embolization procedure to colleagues around the world. He is proud of his role in furthering the success of a non-surgical procedure to solve what was once considered a surgical problem.

Our state-of-the-art facility at the esteemed UCLA Medical Center is the only place in the country where you’ll find a gynecologist dedicated to treating fibroids with uterine fibroid embolization. Most often, the procedure is performed by radiologists.

A radiologist may be well skilled at performing the embolization procedure itself, but here at LAFTC we can manage your care with a depth of understanding about uterine fibroids that delivers unsurpassed continuity of care from start to finish. And that’s why we’re here.
