Summary

• I specialize in diagnosing and treating disease with minimally invasive image-guided procedures. These imaging techniques include X-ray, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasound.
  
  I was one of the first physicians in the region to test a minimally invasive therapy to treat severe lower urinary tract symptoms related to benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH), called prostate artery embolization (PAE). This now FDA-approved treatment does not have the sexual side effects of transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), the standard treatment for men who have not responded to medications and lifestyle modifications. I currently work closely with urologists to evaluate and treat patients with BPH.
  
  I also provide treatment for individuals with circulatory system diseases, such as peripheral arterial and venous disease. I perform numerous procedures for the treatment of venous insufficiency and varicose veins. These procedures commonly include endovenous ablation and sclerotherapy.
  
  Clinically, I also have a special interest in interventional oncology and perform TACE and TARE to treat patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). I also perform uterine fibroid embolization and occlusion balloon placement for invasive placenta.
