My specialties:

- Vascular & interventional radiology
Professional interests:
- Interventional oncology including radioembolization and tumor ablation
- Hepatobiliary interventions including TIPS, BRTO and biliary interventions
- Endovascular repair of artery aneurysms
- Minimally invasive treatment of vascular malformations
- Deep vein and pulmonary artery thrombectomy

I am truly fortunate to work in the cutting-edge field of interventional radiology and interventional oncology, where image-guided, minimally invasive procedures allow us to perform "knifeless" surgery every day. These advancements have transformed patient outcomes, significantly reducing recovery times and improving quality of life.
Personalized care is at the heart of my practice, and I believe that strong patient connections are essential. I always strive to provide the same level of care and guidance that I would want for my own family members.
