6101 PINE RIDGE RD NAPLES FL, 34119About
I am an interventional radiologist and have been in practice since finishing my fellowship in 2002. I specialize in diagnosing and treating injuries and diseases using live x-rays, ultrasound and computed tomography to guide a needle, catheter or wire. I use my knowledge and skill to gently and accurately treat your problem. Interventional radiologists treat problems without scalpels and with moderate sedation, ensuring you can quickly return to your normal daily activities once the procedure is completed. Interventional radiology techniques enable me to literally see the inside of your body and detect and treat otherwise hidden illnesses.

What if I'm allergic to contrast?
At the time of the CT, the technologist will ask you questions about your contrast allergy. IF the allergy needs to be treated, the technologist will obtain an authorization from the radiologist who will then give you a prescription for steroids and anti-inflammatories which you take prior to undergoing the CT scan. We handle this issue very routinely. READ MORE
