INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGY

Our Interventional Radiology practice offers patients advanced procedures to diagnose and treat a variety of conditions. With radiology offices in Los Angeles, Whittier and Downey, our physicians are board-certified, fellowship trained, and are sub-specialized in minimally-invasive, image-guided procedures.


Interventional radiologists utilize advanced imaging equipment to navigate catheters, wires and more throughout the body to treat patients with conditions that either required open surgery or were impossible to treat in the past. 


Our minimally-invasive procedures tend to be less risky, less painful, and offer far shorter recovery times compared to traditional open surgery. We focus on quality patient care, superior outcomes and the highest level of patient satisfaction.

“Dr Joseph Park took the time to ease my mind. Never have ever had a doctor spend so much time with me. He went through my comparison CT scans, explained all details,band made me feel so much more at peace. He’s a gem :-)"
