Our Practice

What Is theAstra Vein Treatment Center?

This specialty medical practice in Brooklyn, New York and Bronx, New York, serves men and women with the most up-to-date technology. The facility is second to none, and the staff was hand-picked for their skills and warmth. The practice is a vein treatment center that also works alongside Astra Fibroid Treatment Specialists. The facility effectively ties these specialties together through one overarching technique called Interventional Radiology (IR).

IR is the practice of using imaging technology — such as x-rays, MRIs, ultrasounds and CT scans — to identify abnormal conditions in your veins and organs. Once identified and diagnosed, your doctor can then treat you through a variety of non-invasive and minimally invasive procedures. IR specialists are considered vascular specialists.
