Dr. Diesfeld has recognized the inherent beauty of the radio frequency ablation of uterine fibroids, the Acessa surgery. As an outpatient procedure, the Acessa is very gentle to the patient and her tissues, whether her wishes are fertility, or avoidance of hysterectomy.He considers it fortuitous that it has been invented by a gentleman he has known and respected for over thirty years, Dr. Bruce Lee. Through Dr. Lee’s selfless surgical mentoring, in case-after-case of meticulous hands-on-instruction, Dr. Diesfeld has been uniquely afforded the benefit of Dr. Lee’s years of experience in treating over 6,000 fibroids.This collaboration directly continues the finest traditions in Surgical Excellence, and has established the Fibroid Institute of Ventura & Santa Barbara Counties as the singular facility offering Acessa to patients, North of Los Angeles to the Bay Area.
