What is Interventional Radiology?
I am a board-certified Interventional Radiologist, which means I perform image-guided minimally invasive surgical procedures. These procedures are done by passing a specialized needle or catheter into a quarter-inch hole in the skin, and from there I use radiographic, ultrasound, or CT-scan guidance to steer my instruments through blood vessels or soft tissues into the organ that I wish to treat. Almost every procedure can be done with IV sedation medication alone, so the patient does not need general anesthesia. Most patients usually can return home the same day with only a small bandage on, and they can often can go back to their normal activities after only a day or two of recovery at home.

What Can I Help You With?

I perform procedures in every part of the body. But I designed this website to educate patients about some remarkable minimally invasive procedures that are available to treat problems in their urinary and reproductive organ systems - problems that can severely impact quality of life or even life expectancy. These procedures work successfully and safely, while allowing patients to avoid more invasive surgery. Listen to what one of my patients has to say about his experience with interventional radiology:
