South Texas Radiology Group (STRG) is the premier radiology group in South Texas. No other group in this region comes close to offering the depth of subspecialty expertise that is found in our group. I learned the basics of interventional radiology during my residency in Houston and refined those skills during my fellowship at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. After that fellowship I joined the faculty of Baylor College of Medicine and M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, TX. I left Houston to Join STRG in San Antonio in January 1999.

Tumor embolization was one of our specialty services at M.D. Anderson, where the concept originated over 20 years ago.

At MD Anderson, though, we embolized malignant tumors; they always grew back. So the procedure was a means of palliation, not a cure.

UFE is a cure. That is the beauty of this method. It is so satisfying to be able to offer this wonderful alternative to women who are suffering from fibroids. Below are tables that present my training and professional experience.
