"Dr. Dabah and his colleagues are absolutely the best! They will have no problem battling it out with insurance companies to get you the results you deserve.

"First visit and it was a great experience. The front desk staff was very welcoming.I felt heard by the provider as he actively listened to my concerns and symptoms. I would recommend this center to anyone that is in need of a pain provider."
Danielle K
"I am delighted by the results. I limped into the office in a great deal of pain which I endured for months. After a few weeks of pain management, I was back to my swift walking. My last appointment recommended suggestions for maintenance and coming back if necessary. Great experience and friendly staff!"

Hemorrhoid Symptoms We Treat

Rectal Bleeding
Bleeding during or after a bowel movement is a common symptom of hemorrhoids. Persistent or unexplained rectal bleeding should always be evaluated by a medical professional.
Internal Hemorrhoids
Internal hemorrhoids develop inside the rectum and can cause painless bleeding, particularly during bowel movements.
Recurrent Hemorrhoid Symptoms
Some patients experience hemorrhoid symptoms repeatedly despite lifestyle changes and conservative treatment. Further evaluation may help determine whether an interventional option is appropriate.
Persistent Symptoms
When hemorrhoid-related bleeding continues despite previous treatment, hemorrhoid embolization may be considered for appropriately selected patients.

SCHEDULE A CONSULTATION
Hemorrhoid embolization uses a minimally invasive catheter-based technique to target blood vessels supplying the hemorrhoids.

Vascular Access

A small catheter is introduced through an artery, allowing the specialist to navigate through the blood vessels toward the arteries supplying the hemorrhoidal tissue.

Image-Guided Navigation

Fluoroscopic imaging is used to visualize the blood vessels and guide the catheter to the appropriate treatment area.

Artery Embolization

Tiny embolic particles are delivered through the catheter to selected arteries supplying the hemorrhoids, reducing blood flow to the targeted vessels.

Reduced Blood Flow

Reducing blood flow to the hemorrhoidal tissue may decrease the size and vascularity of the hemorrhoids and help reduce associated bleeding.

What to Expect From Hemorrhoid Embolization

Hemorrhoid embolization is performed using a minimally invasive, catheter-based approach. Your provider will explain the procedure and recovery process before treatment.
Before treatment: Your symptoms and medical history are reviewed, and your provider determines whether embolization is appropriate.
During treatment: A small catheter is guided through the blood vessels using imaging.
Targeted embolization: Tiny particles are used to reduce blood flow through selected hemorrhoidal arteries.
- After treatment: You'll receive specific instructions regarding recovery and follow-up.

Is Hemorrhoid Embolization Right for Everyone?

No. The procedure is not appropriate for every patient with hemorrhoids. Your specialist will evaluate your symptoms and overall health and may recommend other treatment options when more appropriate.

Medical Insurance & Coverage

Coverage for hemorrhoid embolization depends on your individual insurance plan, diagnosis, medical necessity, and policy requirements.
