Dr. Sashana Gordon, an obstetrician and gynecologist at Northside Hospital Gwinnett, sits down with her patient, Taya Robinson, to have an open and powerful conversation about uterine fibroids — a condition that affects countless women but is rarely discussed openly.
Taya bravely shares her journey from dealing with debilitating symptoms such as heavy bleeding, fatigue and pain to making the difficult decision to undergo a myomectomy. Together, they reflect on the emotional toll, the importance of patient-provider trust and what life looks like on the other side of treatment.
At one point in the conversation, Taya reflects on the care she received and says, “Throughout this whole entire process, I really felt heard by you.” Her story is a powerful reminder of the importance of compassionate care and being truly seen and supported in your health journey.
This heartfelt discussion highlights the power of listening, advocacy and support in women’s health care.
HEARD is about listening to women in our community, making sure they’re seen, supported and empowered to take charge of their health.
