Dr. Baird has been the only gynecologist I've seen my whole life, I believe I started seeing her at 21 years old. In 2018 she mentioned that she felt a fibroid during my annual well women's exam. She said they were common and since I wasn't having any issues, it was nothing to worry about. Well, over the years my stomach got increasingly larger to the point I was concerned something was wrong. In 2023 I asked for an ultrasound and while getting my ultrasound I asked the tech if she saw any fibroids. She looked at me with shock and said "is this your first ultrasound. I got the results I had 6 fibroids and several of them were large. I was confused by the results, and it wasn't even sure what fibroids were exactly. Now fast forward 2025 and I'm trying to get them removed, Dr. Baird said the surgery was "out of her wheelhouse" and every doctor I've met with is recommending a hysterectomy. I haven't even had a child yet and this is heartbreaking for me. Please don't let her downplay your fibroids. Ask for an ultrasound every year and keep track of the size. Fibroids 5cm and up is getting large and may need removal. I wish she would have monitored me more. There is no way she was palpating my abdomen all those years and did feel how large the fibroids were getting. read more
