Job Summary
The Vein Treatment Center (formerly known as The Vein Institute) is a specialized interventional radiology (IR) practice dedicated to diagnosing and treating the full spectrum of venous disease, including varicose veins, DVT/PE, pelvic venous disease, spider veins, and lymphedema. Rochester Radiology Associates, P.C. currently has an outpatient medical office near Rochester General Hospital where we see consultations in our busy clinic and perform minimally invasive venous treatments. The Vein Treatment Center is staffed by five board-certified interventional radiologists and one advanced practice provider. The goal of this practice is to provide the highest level of care to our patients, and we are hiring to replace our current NP as well as due to increased volume and expansion of services.

We are seeking a physician assistant or nurse practitioner to work closely with and under the supervision of our interventional radiologists at the Vein Treatment Center. Duties include performing new vascular consultation and venous workup, pre-procedural patient evaluations and post-procedural patient care, including patient education and follow-up for DVT treatment. This person will also assist and/or independently perform ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy and ambulatory microphlebectomy procedures, first assist on endovascular venous ablation and glue procedures, and be the primary operator for cosmetic sclerotherapy injections. The PA or NP will also see new IR consults and follow-ups in our robust interventional radiology clinic, including for patients coming in for or undergoing pelvic venous disease treatments, embolization treatments for aneurysms or AVMs, DVT thrombectomy and stenting, kyphoplasty, uterine artery embolization, interventional oncology, and catheter issues or wound management. Finally, the goal is for this person to act as the “glue” for this practice: a liaison/coordinator between the IR physicians who rotate there every day for daily continuity of care, as well as a lead resource for patients and staff. We are willing to completely train the right qualified and interested applicant.
