What actually is Interventional Radiology?

Dr. Lewis is a minimally-invasive, image-guided surgeon. This title is more classically known as an interventional radiologist.

An interventional radiologist is a physician that is part radiologist and part surgeon. We are physicians that have specialized in medical imaging interpretation (radiologist) and use that imaging real-time to perform a wide breadth of procedures (surgeon). Our skill set comes along side of you from detection and diagnosis to treatment and recovery. This unique opportunity is truly the best in all of medicine.

Interventional radiology (IR) is an image-guided surgical field that works throughout the body and has allowed us to transform the scalpel into a needle. Every procedure we perform includes an imaging modality (e.g., x-rays, CT, or ultrasound) and sometimes a combination of two or three. These image-guided procedures are less invasive, reduce pain, shorten hospital stays, allow faster recovery and improve patient outcomes. The field is rapidly growing and is continually advancing what and how treatments are delivered.

Thank you Dr. Lewis - you listen to your patients and you explain procedures in terms one can understand.  You're what we call a "follow-through" doctor.  Thank you for the care you gave my husband & the compassion you showed to both of us.

Dr. Lewis placed a port in my chest for my chemotherapy. He was extremely kind, great bedside mannor, literally sat beside my bed and talked to me as a person, not as a patient. His staff was also so kind and gentle. I had this procedure at UPMC East. I would highly recommend.
