I met Dr. Sandeep from a recommendation from my gynecologist. He treated my uterine fibroids. Without surgery, he was able to shrink the fibroids using an alternative way by blocking the blood flow through the vein. I just had my 1 year follow up with him and his procedure has helped with the pain…
Brandon RN is an amazing, knowledgeable, compassionate nurse. He was beyond helpful with discharge instructions. Both Dr. Yoo and Wilson were phenomenal and got the job done right. Thank you so much for giving such great care.
I want to recognize the team who recently assisted me with a PortaCath placement. Miranda was informative,comforting, and assuring that I was receiving the safest care that I as a nurse could ever have expected. Dr. Benjamin Wilson, his student, Kevin, and Marissa the radiology tech were informative, personable, and performed their tasks with the utmost precision and attention to detail. The care I received was EXCEPTIONAL.
We had our first experience at Precision IR today with a procedure that was far less invasive than the surgical option. The staff, nurses and physicians were all terrific, the facility was state of art and so much calmer than hospital settings. We left with clear instructions, scripts were emailed, and we are well prepared for the healing journey. Highly recommend!
Great experience. The doctor kept me well informed and was very professional. The nurses were great, professional and friendly. They kept me calm and well informed before, during and after the procedure. Highly recommend Precision IR.

Thank you for the excellent treatment I received when I had the vascular procedures done on both of my legs. I have suffered for years from varicose veins and was experiencing worsening leg pain and heaviness over the last 12 months. Each procedure was quick and easy, and the results are fantastic. The leg pain and heaviness are gone, and I can now keep up with my 8 year old! Thanks again for the outstanding service from Horizon Vascular Specialists.
A heartfelt thanks to Horizon Vascular Specialists. They were wonderful and understanding of my medical needs, putting my worries to rest, helping me through the process of my procedure as well as follow up visits. I highly recommend them if you are looking for a vascular specialist.
The 3 doctors here are HIGHLY SKILLED, Extremely kind and personable. My procedure was a success !! They made me feel comfortable and talked me through every part of it. I wish they could be my primary doctor as well. Come here for GAE, they will take good care of you !!
Dr Ahmed did a GAE procedure on my mother and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. He was so thorough and attentive. He eased any concerns she had and made her feel very comfortable. We thought her only option at this point was a knee replacement surgery, but this GAE procedure brought her so much relief in literally one day of recovery time. Highly recommend Dr.Ahmed!
I’m very happy right now. The stimulater was a successful experience. At first I was very skeptical about the temp procedure. But glad I went through with it. It was very great cause at first I had absolutely no feeling in my feet to now having at least 50% feeling back in my feet. I no longer have to look down to see if my feet are actually touching the floor. Thanks Anna for calling and checking on me everyday! Thanks to the doctors and staff for talking me into this!
Anna and staff were very knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. I would totally recommend this office and procedure to anyone who needs it. With Anna‘s guidance. She has totally changed my life and pain immensely.
