Rapid access to care matters when faced with debilitating abnormal uterine bleeding
Abnormal uterine bleeding is a common gynaecological problem with significant emotional , socioeconomic and health impact. Abnormal uterine bleeding can be caused by a variety of reasons ranging from hormonal imbalance , precancerous conditions of the lining of the uterus to uterine fibroids and polyps. It can be also caused by general medical disorders. Left undiagnosed , it can lead to ineffective treatment and prolonged suffering and deterioration of health of the affected woman and her ability to function in society and at home.
Typically, affected women wonder between ERs and doctors seeking relief. Ineffective treatment lead to the complication of significant anemia and hemorrhage requiring blood transfusion and intravenous iron therapy without addressing the root cause of the bleeding problem. That lead to recurrence of the abnormal heavy bleeding and the cycle repeats itself. Unfortunately, lack of timely access to a specialist who can provide proper diagnosis and effective treatment ( frequently including access to surgical intervention) complicates patient care.
At Astra we have the ability to see patients in a short time providing diagnostic workup and have readily available access to hysteroscopy at our “Ambulatory Hysteroscopy Unit” where we can see and treat the problem on the spot utilizing the see and treat approach. Our expert hysteroscopy staff can do most of these procedures without anesthesia or using conscious sedation judiciously. Fewer cases may need deep sedation.
We are uniquely practicing the concept of rapid access to care and providing true ambulatory hysteroscopy approach.

I am very fortunate to have Dr. Michael. I had severe amania issue due to fibroids and my previous Dr. wasted the whole year and failed to offer me an appropriate treatment till I was referred to Dr. Michael by my family Dr. He is very patient and kind explained my issues and also he was right away to let me know the next step for the treatment. He did surgery for me and I am recovering well. Thank you very much , Dr Michael.

I am so lucky I met Dr. Michael, I was told by a previous doctor that there’s nothing wrong with me. When I attended this clinic, the diagnosis of my condition and why I wasn’t conceiving was so detailed. Dr Michael and his staff put a lot of effort to give patients the best results.

Dr. Michael is SO kind and has lots of understanding and sympathy for his patients, I visited him to treat my Asherman ( uterus adhesion), while other Drs avoided treating me and told me my adhesion is not treatable, Dr. Michael treated me by hysteroscopy and the whole procedure took 5 minutes or less, he is kind and also confident about the job he is doing, I know so many women visited him to treat their Asherman and I learned it from the Facebook Asherman support group, I am so happy visited him

I’ve been going to Astra for a while now and after some failed IUIs I’m doing an ivf cycle (praying it works). I speak mostly to Sarah and manpreet (ivf nurses) who are super sweet. I always have a million and 1 questions that they always answer. I’m reading some of the reviews below and I’m super shocked! My experience has been super pleasant with the staff 🙂

Dr. Michael and his entire staff are wonderful people. I would recommend his clinic to any one. He is honest and very helpful about his fertility approach. Make the time, spend the money and invest. Be patient and it would happen. PUSH- pray, until, something, happens. The short receptionist upstairs I call her the busy lady – she is very nice- the ultra sound lady that dresses in her Doctor coat is extremely wonderful. I am an attorney at law and I fully endorse this clinic. My husband who is also a lawyer loves DR. Michael’s approach. I remembered the morning I needed to attend a murder trail and my busy body receptionist assisted me and fitted me in . God bless them all.
