Hi Terri, I think Dr. Parker is a good choice of someone in your neck of the woods (assuming you're from southern CA) to perform a myomectomy. If, by chance, he suggests uterine artery embolization, sometimes called uterine fibroid embolization, check it out at uterine artery embolization . com. (spaces inserted so that it could be posted here). There are serious, permanent complications which have been reported to FDA, including several deaths. The FDA reports are public, they can be accessed by Googling "FDA Maude", then go to the simple search, and enter uterine artery embolization, where you can read the actual reports.
If you're considering undergoing a myomectomy, send an email to HERS and we will give you some important questions to ask a doctor, and the answers you should expect that will help you evaluate their surgical skill and their outcomes.
