As healthcare continues to evolve, more referring physicians are turning to outpatient interventional radiology (IR) as a trusted, efficient, and patient-centered alternative to traditional hospital-based care. At Vista Interventional Care Center (VICC), we offer advanced image-guided procedures in a streamlined outpatient setting—designed to support physicians and deliver exceptional results for patients.
