Vascular & Interventional Radiologist · CEO, Embolix
Keerthi Prasad, MD
A pioneer of musculoskeletal embolization in the United States. Dr. Prasad helped bring genicular artery embolization and musculoskeletal embolization to American patients, and leads the Embolix Institute for MSK Embolization, which has trained more interventional radiologists in these techniques than any other program.
Approach to care
Dr. Prasad is dedicated to finding and treating the root of the problem, not just the symptom. He takes the time with each patient to make sure they understand their condition and every option in front of them — so the choice they make is an informed one.
His work focuses on minimally invasive, image-guided treatments performed in comfortable outpatient settings, sparing patients the risk and long recovery of open surgery.
