The treatment by Dr. Goettl and every staff member from checking in through discharge was amazing. Friendly, talkative staff members who make you feel very well cared for. The center was immaculate, very clean, and well decorated. After having all the tests and procedures to get to this procedure PAE, which claims essentially no side effects like urinary incontinence, no ED problems, no catheter, this is a great procedure to keep the prostate happy.

The staff, I can’t say enough praise for every one of them. Dr. Goettl made me feel great about the procedure he was performing on me. Professional staff 100% and very knowledgeable.

PAE Patient

“I was terrified when I learnt that I needed to get PAE done. I hadn’t expected any kind of procedure to be done. I thought that just taking meds would be enough. But that was not to be. I was told PAE was a simple, painless cure and I would be back home in a few hours. I was explained by Dr. Kevin Hirsch of Vascular Interventional Partners (VIP) in Scottsdale, AZ, how it would be done and what I could expect. I reviewed YouTube videos and webinars on PAE. While most of my questions were answered, I thought, what if I needed a catheter even temporarily after the procedure? That fear kept lurking in my mind. Well, anyway, I got my PAE done yesterday, and trust me, it was indeed super painless. The entire procedure was completed by Dr. Kevin Hirsch in an hour and 15 minutes. I can tell you for a fact, he is an awesome doctor and did an awesome job for sure! Wow!! I surely recommend him, if at all you have to get PAE done. I recovered well and went home. No nausea, no bleeding, no other major after-effects. Nothing! Period!! Beth, the CRNA, and the nurse Samantha were both simply amazing and extremely nice! The staff and patient care at VIP are outstanding! They really treat you like a VIP!!”

“I would highly recommend Dr Goettl and his staff at VIP Vascular & Interventional Partners. They were great and took care of me. I was looking for an alternate treatment for my BPH. I have been on meds for a while. My prostate was very large and very vascular. I was tired of taking the meds and living from one bathroom to another. My Urologist suggested that the next step would be green light surgery. I started looking for an alternative, I did my research online, and that’s when I found out about PAE. I had the procedure done by Dr Goettl a month ago, and I have already experienced improvements in my urgency to go to the bathroom. I am now not getting up multiple times throughout the night to go. I am now getting a good night’s sleep, and I am very grateful for that. Please consider having this procedure done first before having other urological procedures. You can always have those other procedures if PAE did not meet with your expectations for a quality of life improvement.” Joe C.

PAE Patient

“My whole experience there was very good. The symptoms I was experiencing due to an enlarged prostate were extremely bothersome. Dr. Chen and his team were professional, polite, and knowledgeable. The embolization procedure was relatively simple (some discomfort for a couple days after) and, most importantly, it worked well for me. 3 months later, my symptoms have largely resolved. Huge beneficial difference for me. Thank you, Dr. Chen”
