Dr. Valinda Nwadike, an OBGYN in Southern Maryland, had fibroids for 15 years. Prior to her surgery at CIGC, she went to a local doctor who told her the only option was to perform an open procedure. Dr. Natalya Danilyants performed the surgery on a Tuesday and Dr. Nwadike was able to go back to work 3 days later, delivering babies. CIGC’s minimally invasive hysterectomy procedures allowed for a shorter recovery times with less pain.
