Highlights
Dr. Ziv Haskal video profile
My name is Ziv Haskal, and I'm an attending physician at the University of Virginia. I'm a member of the Department of Radiology and Imaging, but my specialty actually is interventional radiology. What we do is use tiny little tubes to sizes of the tips of pencils to get into almost any area of the body. Since we do so much for so many people, we tend to have a bit of a specialization. And for me personally, I treat a lot of patients with liver disease, with liver cancers, kidney cancer, I've treated hundreds of women with uterine fibroids and large prostates. We're leading the nation and some of our clinical investigations, a lot of pediatric work as well and peripheral arterial and vein disease. Blocked veins in the legs as well. If you came to see me you'd see me in a clinic, just like any other doctors office. Which means we'd sit down, examine you, talk about what your problem is, review any imaging, and if any is necessary, then order it. And then from there forward, actually manage your care, which means if you needed to be in hospital I bring you in as my patient. If there was something that I couldn't offer you, then I'd get you connected with somebody who could at UVA. This is really one of the best places in the country. The depth of expertise and the lack of drama and the shared commitment to best care for every patient is really extraordinary.
