Uterine fibroids are noncancerous growths that develop in the wall of the uterus, often causing symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding and pelvic pain. They are the most common type of benign tumors in women’s reproductive systems.
Common symptoms include:
A hysterectomy is not your only solution. Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UEF) is an FDA-approved alternative has been around for over 20 yearsand unlike a hysterectomy.
An enlarged prostate, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), is a common condition in men where the prostate gland gradually increases in size, potentially leading to urinary difficulties and requiring medical evaluation to rule out prostate cancer.
Common symptoms include:
Hemorrhoids are swollen veins in the lower rectum or anus that can cause discomfort and pain. Hemorrhoids can occur internally, inside the rectum, or externally, around the anus. Treatment typically involves lifestyle changes and over-the-counter remedies, while more severe cases may require medical procedures.
Common symptoms include:
Knee pain is discomfort felt in or around the knee joint, which can be caused by various factors such as injury, arthritis, tendonitis, meniscus tears, overuse, or bursitis. Treatment options depend on the underlying cause and may include rest, medication, physical therapy, non-surgical treatments, or surgery.
Common symptoms include:
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is a condition characterized by narrowed or blocked arteries in the limbs, primarily caused by atherosclerosis, and requires long-term management to reduce complications and improve cardiovascular health.
Common symptoms include:
Liver cancer, also known as hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), is a malignant tumor that develops in the liver and is often associated with chronic liver disease caused by factors like alcohol abuse or viral hepatitis. Liver cancer occurs when abnormal cells within the liver begin to grow and multiply uncontrollably.

Interventional radiology (IR) is a branch of radiology that uses minimally-invasive, “pinhole”, image-guided procedures to diagnose and treat diseases in nearly every organ system. These are usually outpatient, same-day procedures done in a comfortable, familiar environment. Image-guided medicine is simply the use of images (often from X-rays, CT scans or ultrasound) to guide medical procedures.
Some common IR procedures include biopsies, angiograms/angioplasties, vertebroplasties (for compression fractures of the spine), and drainages. IR procedures are often done with tiny needle-like instruments that are inserted easily. They can be used to treat conditions that were once managed with more invasive surgery requiring hospitalization and a lengthy recovery.
Yes. In general, you should take your medications as prescribed by your physician. The exception to this rule would be if your blood pressure is too low or if you are diabetic and your blood sugar is too low. If either of these conditions exist, please notify the staff so that we can make the necessary adjustments.
If you are taking blood thinners, you may be asked to stop them before the procedure.
No. You should not feel any pain during the procedure. Some procedures may cause some discomfort afterward, but this is usually minimal and can be controlled with over-the-counter medication. There will be no long hospital stay or long recovery!
Most procedures take less than 30 minutes. Some procedures may take longer, but this will be discussed with you beforehand.
Recovery varies depending on your procedure but you will usually go home within an hour or two after having an in-office procedure. Usually with just a Band-aid! For some procedures, you will receive a prescription for medications.
