Fibroids, an enlarged prostate, a painful knee and a heavy leg look like nine unrelated problems. They share a solution: closing or opening the vessels that feed them, through a pinhole, under live imaging. That is the whole of what we do, which is why we do a great deal of it.
Because treatment happens in our own outpatient clinics, there is no admission, no operating-room queue and usually no general anesthesia. Most patients arrive in the morning, go home the same day and are back to normal activity within days rather than weeks.
The physician who reviews your imaging and explains your options is the same physician who performs your procedure and sees you at follow-up. That means you always know who is treating you, your care stays connected, and you never have to re-explain your story.
Your first appointment is a conversation about what your day actually looks like; the stairs, the bathroom trips, the pants that no longer fit over the swelling. A treatment plan that ignores that is the wrong plan.
We show you your own imaging, name what we see, and describe the procedure in the words you would use to tell your family about it. A patient who can explain their own treatment is a patient who can decide about it.
Some conditions are better served by a surgeon, urologist or orthopedist, and some by watching and waiting. We say so, and help you get there. Being the right option for you matters more than being your option.
Clinics in the neighborhoods our patients live in. Most major insurance plans and Medicare accepted, verified before anything is scheduled. Appointments in Spanish. No referral required for most patients.
Interventional radiology moves quickly, and our patients are the reason to keep up with it. Our physicians are fellowship-trained and board-certified in vascular and interventional radiology. We track our own results, follow patients at one week, one month and four months, and adopt new techniques when the evidence supports them.
Tell us about your symptoms and we’ll match you with the right specialist and clinic, often with an appointment within the same week. No referral is needed for most patients.
We listen, examine, and use imaging when needed, during the same visit. You leave knowing what is causing the problem and your options, including ones we don't perform.
We treat you through a pinhole-sized access point with live imaging and light sedation—no general anesthesia or surgery. Most patients go home the same day with a driver.
We check in at one week, one month, and four months, all with the doctor who treated you, since relief from embolization develops over time, building over weeks rather than hours.
Texas Endovascular treats nine conditions, all with minimally invasive, image-guided procedures: vein disease, peripheral artery disease (PAD), uterine fibroids, enlarged prostate (BPH), internal hemorrhoids, knee osteoarthritis, plantar fasciitis, frozen shoulder, and tennis / golfer's elbow.
A physician who specializes in minimally invasive, image-guided procedures. Using real-time imaging, they guide small instruments through a tiny access point to diagnose or treat a condition, often as an alternative to traditional surgery, with smaller incisions and less disruption to the body. All of our physicians are board-certified and fellowship-trained in this specialty.
Instead of an incision that opens the area, treatment reaches it through a pinhole in the wrist, groin or leg, guided by live imaging. That usually means light sedation rather than general anesthesia, no hospital stay, less bleeding and a return to normal activity in days rather than weeks. Published reviews of endovascular techniques such as laser vein ablation report high success rates with fewer complications than open surgery.
More than a decade. The practice was founded in Houston in 2015 by Dr. Eric Hardee and Dr. William Fox and has since grown to eight outpatient clinics across Greater Houston and the Dallas–Fort Worth area, with five board-certified physicians and more than 50 years of combined experience.
A referral is not required for most patients, though some plans ask for one or for prior authorization. We accept Medicare and most major insurance plans, and our team verifies your benefits and explains your expected cost before anything is scheduled.
No. Consultations, imaging and procedures all happen in our own office-based outpatient clinics. There is no admission and, for most procedures, no overnight stay. You arrive, are treated and go home the same day, with someone else driving.
To make minimally invasive, image-guided treatment a real and reachable option for every patient who needs it, so that no one has to choose between living with debilitating symptoms and undergoing major surgery. We do that by offering the full range of endovascular procedures in outpatient clinics close to home, explaining every option in plain language, and being candid when another specialty is the better answer.
Yes. Dr. AJ Valenson is fluent in Spanish and sees Spanish-speaking patients directly, and Spanish-speaking team members are available at our clinics. Ask when you call or note it on the appointment form. Se Habla Español.
