Dr. Illescas is a member of the American College of Radiology, the American Roentgen Ray Society, the Radiologic Society of North America, the Society of Interventional Radiology, the American Vein and Lymphatic Society, and the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. “I am interested in venous disease because of the exciting advances that have recently occurred. The new scientific research and the development of non-surgical techniques for venous disease treatment have brought about a renaissance of interest in this field. As an interventional radiologist, I can beneficially translate these advances to the successful treatment of venous disease.” Dr. Illescas’ dedication to providing state-of-the-art treatments comes at an important time – 40 million Americans now suffer from vein disease. Though rapid advances in the treatment of venous disease have greatly reduced the suffering from its painful symptoms, venous insufficiency remains largely underdiagnosed. “When new and successful methods of venous insufficiency treatment became available, I was asked to help develop a vein practice that eventually led to the establishment of a vein center within my radiology practice.
