Additional Information:

Interventional Radiology (IR) uses advanced technology for image-guided procedures to treat various diseases minimally invasively. IR treatments reduce risks, require little to no incisions, and often involve sedation rather than general anesthesia, leading to less pain and quicker recovery.

Conditions treated include deep vein thrombosis, lymphatic diseases, hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia, pulmonary AVMs, aneurysm endoleaks, cancers, peripheral arterial disease, vascular malformations, women's health issues, and hemodialysis access dysfunction.

Minimally invasive techniques include tumor therapies, embolizations, shunt placements, thrombosis treatments, laser ablation, and revascularization procedures.

We believe the best patient care starts with the best employee care. Our benefits include comprehensive health programs, tuition assistance, and a commitment to advancing medical care.
