My area of expertise and special interest is embolization procedures. I am particularly excited about the promise of Genicular Artery Embolization, a novel, minimally invasive procedure that effectively treats knee pain related to osteoarthritis. While a resident and fellow at UCLA, I was fortunate to train under the pioneers of this procedure during the main US clinical trial for genicular artery embolization, which took place at UCLA medical center.
I am also passionate about minimally invasive treatment options for Men’s Health issues, such as prostate artery embolization for benign prostatic hypertrophy. This outpatient procedure is recommended by the Society of Interventional Radiology and the American Urological Association PAE offers an effective, minimally invasive treatment for BPH with minimal side effects and several advantages to surgical alternatives. I also enjoy performing other embolization procedures such as uterine artery embolization, Y-90 radioembolizations, and varicocele embolization. Outside of embolization procedures, I have an interest in the treatment of peripheral arterial disease, venous disease and performing musculoskeletal interventions.
Additionally, I have a particular interest in healthcare innovation, the business of radiology, and device development, which is why I completed an MBA with a focus in healthcare entrepreneurship and management. While completing my MBA, I collaborated with colleagues to develop radiology and interventional radiology iOS apps for the iPhone. I believe the intersection of new technology and medicine holds great promise for our future.
