Elsie Koh, M.D.

Dr. Elsie Koh, M.D. is an Interventional Radiologist trained at Columbia-Presbyterian hospital in NYC and was one of a small percentage of women to enter the field of interventional radiology when only 1% of doctors in the field were women. Through the years, she was promoted through the ranks to leadership positions in multiple organizations, and championed and mentored many interventionalists, spoke on many topics in IR at national meetings, led research projects, and co-led the national meetings. She coaches healthcare workers on leadership skills to empower them to find their purpose and potential.

Recently, she founded a separate company, LEAD Physician, a leadership coaching program for physicians. Her passion lies in addressing the fundamental problems with the current healthcare system lacking the voice of clinicians in senior leadership roles of organizations that will allow improved work conditions for healthcare workers and systems that foster patient-centric care.

Dr. Koh is happy to be joining American Fibroid Centers to help women with debilitating symptoms related to fibroids using minimally invasive techniques that allow them to return to their daily activities faster than they would with standard surgery. She firmly believes in providing high-quality, sensitive, and safe care to her patients.

For her leadership, devotion to patient comfort, and staff growth, Dr. Koh was also recognized as a Healthcare Hero in NJ in 2019 and is also a six-time winner of a Patient’s Choice Award and a triple year winner of Compassionate Doctor Recognition from Vitals.com"
