 Matthew P. Schenker, MDDivision Chief, Angiography and Interventional Radiology |
Interventional Radiology is a specialty which treats major and minor diseases using minimally invasive techniques. Via a pinhole incision, interventional radiologists can use needles and catheters to treat various conditions with imaging guidance. Interventional radiology procedures are less invasive than traditional surgeries, allow for faster recovery, and can often be performed in the outpatient setting.
We are deeply committed to improving the health and quality of life of our patients by providing compassionate care of the highest standard within an environment that respects the rights and dignity of each and every patient. Our multidisciplinary team will accomplish this in the most efficient manner by utilizing the fundamentals of clinical and academic excellence in the practice of cardiovascular and interventional radiology.
