Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE): Specialized in the "no-cut" treatment of conditions affecting the prostate, utilizing embolization to reduce tissue size and address symptoms without incisions.

Pediatric Interventions: One of the few specialists in the area trained to perform intricate procedures on children, applying the same minimally invasive approach to smaller patients.

Vascular Malformations & Embolotherapy: Expert in obstructing or repairing abnormal blood vessels (embolization) to treat pain, bleeding, and inflammation-related conditions.

Adult Vascular Care: Comprehensive management of arterial and venous conditions, including fibroid embolization and interventional pain management for prostate care.
