Dr. Cheruba Prabakar, also known as “The Fibroid Doc,” is a board-certified OB/GYN and fellowship-trained minimally invasive surgeon. After completing medical school, she pursued a four-year residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology, followed by a two-year fellowship in minimally invasive surgery. This training enables her to treat fibroids and heavy bleeding using same-day procedures with a few small incisions—unlike traditional surgeries requiring larger cuts and longer recovery.
She trained in Brooklyn, New York, where she cared for a diverse patient population and developed a niche in fibroid care. After training, she moved to the Bay Area and began practicing in Oakland, where she continued helping women with heavy bleeding, pain, and infertility due to fibroids. Her passion for this work led to the creation of her brand, “The Fibroid Doc.”
Dr. Prabakar specializes in robotic surgery and is dedicated to offering the latest surgical technology. Known for her compassionate approach, she empowers patients to meet their health goals and reclaim their lives through effective, minimally invasive fibroid
