Why Single-Specialty IR?

• Many other IR physicians practice as part of larger diagnostic radiology groups, performing IR procedures in between diagnostic radiology readings. However, at ViP we believe that IR is a unique and highly technical specialty, best served by physicians practicing exclusively IR.

Why ViP?

• Our physicians are board-certified, high-level providers in the specialty of Interventional Radiology. Having trained at some of the nation’s elite institutions and with over 60 years of combined IR experience, our providers are able to perform the most challenging procedures in our field. This includes stroke thrombectomy, embolization in acute trauma, TIPS, prostate artery embolization, PE thrombectomy, and more.
  
  We believe quality of patient care is the foundation of everything we do. By selecting ViP as your provider of IR services, you are making a choice to prioritize your patients and their health outcomes.
