Philosophy of Care
Interventional Radiology is a thriving field, focused on the principles of
delivering treatment and care in a minimally invasive manner. For decades,
surgery was the only treatment available for many conditions. Now, many
treatments that require open surgery can be performed percutaneously using wires
and catheters. Our IR section provides treatments that cover a breadth of
minimally invasive vascular and non-vascular procedures. I have an interest in
developing a practice dedicated towards women's health, which includes chronic
pelvic pain, deep vein thrombosis, venous insufficiency, and cardiovascular
disease.
