Dr. Sandow says in his own words, I chose to become a doctor based on a desire to have a meaningful impact in someone's life for the better, to help in a time of need. As an interventional radiologist, I have the ability to use cutting-edge, minimally-invasive techniques to treat conditions throughout the body, such as cancer, bleeding, blood clots, fibroids, liver disease, leg pain and infection, among other conditions, all while leaving behind no more than a band-aid. The goal of my practice is not only to provide optimal care of patients, but to also make sure that all my patients are well-informed about treatment plans and therapeutic options as well as comfortable throughout the entire process from initial consultation to follow-up care. Additionally, I think it's incredibly important to maintain open dialogue with referring providers to keep them updated on their patients.
