Summary
- • Board Certified, Vascular & Interventional Radiology (ABR)
• Board Certified, Diagnostic Radiology (ABR)
• Board Certifed, Wound Care (CWSP)
• I'm a vascular & interventional radiologist, but I also provide diagnostic radiology reads for all modalities.
• My interventional experience include arterial/venous disease (atherectomy, thrombectomy, complex below knee interventions, retrograde pedal techniques etc), oncologic (liver, renal, lung and bone tumors), pediatric (arteriovenous malformations), pain (kyphoplasty, steroid injections, nerve blocks, neurostimulator implants, neurolysis etc), and cosmetic (liposuction, facial rejuvenation, botox) interventions. I also perform a wide variety of embolization procedures, including uterine, prostate, geniculate, and hemorrhoid artery embolization.
My primary research interest involves robotic-guided interventional radiology procedures for embolization.
I also provide consultation services to medical device companies focusing on delivering minimally invasive therapies.
