My mom has a 65 mm fibroid in her uterus and doesn't want surgery could this be dangerous? Are there other treatment options besides surgery? Really worried about her and would appreciate advice. Also, if surgery is the only option, can you suggest a good doctor?

A 65 mm fibroid can be considered large and may cause symptoms or complications, but it's not always necessary to have surgery. There are other treatment options like uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) or medication to shrink fibroids. It's crucial to discuss all options with a gynecologist or interventional radiologist to determine the best course of action for your mom.
