Neurovascular centers are the leading medical group with three clinic locations in Los Angels and Orange County and is growing. We offer the latest treatment options using minimally invasive, non-surgical treatment options for diseases of the brain and spine. Our treatment options are back by standard of care guidelines and the latest publications in this cutting-edge technology that offers permanent solutions to neurological condition there were once only treated with open surgery. Our focus is on embolization techniques and advanced neuroimaging that utilizes small tubes called catheters through a tiny incision under X ray guidance to abnormal arteries or veins within the blood vessel. Our procedures are done outpatient setting with little to know down time.
