Every physician is fellowship-trained in interventional radiology and treats all nine conditions. The doctor who reviews your imaging performs your procedure.
Treatment happens through a tiny access point using real-time imaging, which means lower risk, less downtime and, for most patients, going home the same day.
Your first visit is for answers: what is causing your symptoms and what your options are, including the ones we don't perform. You are never expected to decide that day.
Yes. All of our physicians are board-certified and fellowship-trained in vascular and interventional radiology, and several are double board-certified in interventional and diagnostic radiology. Each one performs minimally invasive, image-guided procedures in our own outpatient clinics.
Our physicians all treat the same core conditions; vein disease, peripheral artery disease (PAD), uterine fibroids, enlarged prostate (BPH), hemorrhoids and chronic joint pain, so most patients simply see the specialist at the clinic closest to them.
If your case is complex, our team will match you with the physician whose focus fits it best. Call us and describe your symptoms; we will tell you who to see and why.
Both. A physician assistant or nurse practitioner often handles your first evaluation, your ultrasound and your follow-up visits, working directly with your physician. Your procedure itself is always performed by a board-certified interventional radiologist.
A referral is not required for most patients. Some insurance plans do require a referral or prior authorization before your visit, and our team can verify your benefits and explain what your plan needs. Texas Endovascular accepts most major insurance plans, including Medicare.
Yes. Use the Request an Appointment form and name that physician, or call the clinic directly. Several of our physicians rotate between clinics, so our schedulers will confirm the location and day that works for both of you.
Yes. Dr. AJ Valenson is fluent in Spanish and sees Spanish-speaking patients directly. Spanish-speaking team members are also available at our clinics. Ask for a Spanish-speaking provider when you call, or note it on the appointment form. Se Habla Español.
Your first visit is an evaluation, not a procedure. A provider reviews your symptoms and history, performs an ultrasound or other imaging if it is needed, explains what is causing the problem and walks through your options, including the ones we do not perform. Our team verifies your insurance benefits before anything is scheduled, and you are never expected to decide that day.
An interventional radiologist is 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.
