My nameÕs Chris Moosavi. IÕm an interventional radiologist and I work in the community division with the University of Virginia PhysicianÕs Group. We use minimally invasive techniques to treat a wide variety of medical ailments. Some of them include peripheral vascular disease. This may include, also, different types of various cancers or we see patients that have blood clots in their legs and help them remove clots, often times in an acute setting. My interest in medicine started a long time ago. My father was actually a physician. Not an interventional radiologist, but he was an ophthalmologist, and I spent a lot of time with him seeing patients as a child and I saw the impact he had on the quality of life of a lot of his patients. New patients can expect top-level care. Patients are often seen in an outpatient setting, the elective patients by our doctors or our nurse practitioners. And all their questions are usually answered before the actual procedure. And on the day of the procedure, weÕre available to answer any questions they might have, ease any of their concerns that they may have. Typically, we see these patients afterwards as well to make sure that theyÕre healing fine from the procedure, and also to make sure theyÕve made a full recovery. My goals are to meet the expectations of the patient and to optimize outcomes, and that to me is the most rewarding part of my job.
