Choose the doctor that doctors choose.

Dr. Dean Sharp had a prostatic artery embolization two years ago, and now the 76-year-old is enjoying life without the debilitating symptoms of BPH. A surgeon himself, Dr. Sharp was very pleased with his comfort level during the procedure and the immediate effect it had on his symptoms.

Every day, men in Bend are discovering the life-changing effects of minimally invasive PAE for the treatment of BPH symptoms. Learn more and hear his full story here: (insert link)

Urinary symptoms like frequent urination--especially at night, weak or interrupted stream, difficulty starting urination, or the sensation that you can't fully empty your bladder are common in older men, but that doesn't mean you have to live with them.

Come talk with one of our vascular interventional radiologists about Prostate Artery Embolization, and take control of your stream.www.visofcora.com

You may have heard about QT breast imaging, a newer technology that uses sound waves to create breast images without compression or radiation. While the concept is promising and research is ongoing, itโ€™s important to know that QT screening has not yet been proven to replace or match the effectiveness of mammography for routine breast cancer screening.

New technologies often generate excitement, and innovation in imaging is always welcome. But until long-term clinical studies demonstrate the same level of effectiveness, mammograms remain the most reliable screening tool available today.

If you have questions about breast cancer screening or whatโ€™s appropriate for your individual risk, talk with your healthcare provider about the screening plan thatโ€™s right for you.

Mammography remains the only screening test proven to reduce breast cancer mortality. It helps detect cancer before symptoms appear and continues to be recommended
as the first-line screening tool beginning at age 40 for most women.
๐Ÿ’ Backed by decades of clinical research
๐Ÿ’  Proven to reduce breast cancer deaths
๐Ÿ’ Often detects cancers years before they can be felt
When breast cancer is detected at its earliest stages, the 5-year survival rate is 99%. Early detection saves lives.

"The actual procedure was pretty darn simple." - Dr. Dean Sharp, PAE patient

Two years post-procedure, Dr. Dean Sharp and his wife Marlis talk about PAE and why they're so glad he did it. No more pain, maintained sexual function, no need for BPH meds, and restful nights are just a few of the things they discuss. Watch the full story here: https://visofcora.com/mens-health/

Mammography remains the only screening test proven to reduce breast cancer mortality. New imaging technologies continue to be introduced and studied. While some may provide additional information, no screening test has replaced mammography as the standard of care for routine screening.
