Dr. Meghal Antani, our Medical Director, is a board certified Interventional Radiologist, with nearly 20 years of experience in minimally invasive interventional procedures. He has performed over 10,000 vein and endovascular procedures, and trains other physicians in the skills needed to successfully perform these complex procedures.

From 2001 to 2009, he was a staff attending interventional radiologist at the Washington Hospital Center, which is the largest and busiest hospital in Washington, DC, where he performed thousands of minimally invasive procedures in a wide variety of patients, with excellent results. In 2008, he founded the Center for Interventional Medicine to provide minimally invasive treatments in a safe and convenient setting.

Due to his experience, his success rate is often higher than the success rates published in major medical journals, and his complication rate is significantly lower than the recommended minimum levels. Over the course of many years, he has successfully managed virtually every possible difficult situation. When you pick a physician to take care of you or your loved one, make sure that they have the level of expertise that comes only with having done thousands of cases.
