Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE) offers a safe, effective alternative to surgery for men suffering from benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
Dr. Sabbah is renowned for his expertise in advanced interventional techniques, particularly Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE). His precision, outcomes, and commitment to patient care have made him a trusted referral destination for urologists and patients alike.
PAE is a cutting-edge, minimally invasive procedure that reduces prostate size by blocking blood flow to enlarged areas, providing relief from BPH symptoms without surgery.
PAE is performed through a tiny hole in the groin or wrist. A catheter is inserted through the artery and directed toward the prostate. Once positioned, tiny particles are injected to block blood flow to the enlarged areas of the prostate.
No surgical incisions, performed through a small puncture
Advanced imaging guides treatment to exact problem areas
Prostate naturally reduces in size over following weeks
If you’re dealing with these common symptoms of an enlarged prostate, PAE might be the solution you’ve been looking for.
PAE has been shown to significantly improve these symptoms in 93% of patients, with many experiencing relief within weeks of the procedure.

Dr Sabbah and his staff are both friendly and professional, and more to the point, the man made the point of checking with me personally the day after the procedure and made himself available personally over the holiday weekend in case I needed help. So far the procedures results have been great in this first week and a half. I was walking around the same day of the procedure without a catheter and after the first couple of days the swelling started to come down. By the end of the week, my prostate felt normal with no discomfort.... a far cry from what it would have been if I had elected to do a traditional T U R P. So far I have seen that all three major functions of my prostate have been retained which means that 1). I have bladder control 2) I have the ability to have an erection 3) I have an ejaculation all of those things are risk factors with a traditional T U R P. In the next few months my prostate will likely shrink significantly giving me the kind of uninterrupted sleep that I used to enjoy in my 30s let alone having coffee again without without consequences. Lastly and most importantly during the procedure, my left side was more difficult to maneuver to get into and in order to save me the second procedure trip, Dr. Sabbah worked extra hard and took the extra time to make sure that he could take care of that side as well on the same visit. I'm thrilled with the outcome and the doctor and his staff great job I highly recommend him MichaelPosted on Brad KeimachTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Here is what I wrote to Dr. Sabbah: "Thank YOU for your wisdom, skills, and the great support team. Valaria was a total wonder. One great concern about medical procedures/hospitalization is being heard, getting responses that are helpful AND timely. Valaria took care of me like I was her father! And so did you, and I appreciate that deeply. I can't say that about the front desk staff, but I had a good feeling after our initial meeting, and I'm glad to say I was right. After the procedure, I said to my friend that I would hope that ANY/EVERY procedure I would ever need would be done by you and Valaria!!!! When my family members were in their last health battles, both in Boston and in Santa Barbara, none of them got care that you gave me. I know this, because I was there as their advocate. So, deep thanks! You are a rare gem!" I admit I was nervous before the surgery, but Dr. Sabbah and Valaria were so professional and positive, that my fears were greatly allayed. I had asked about topical lidocaine so that the entry point(s) would not be painful to me. They both said yes. Consequently, there was no pain during the prodecure. Every time I texted Dr. Sabbah, he responded with a detailed answer to all my questions almost immediately, both after hours and on weekends! I sent him photos of the surgery site and he assured me that it looked perfect and not to worry about a thing. I wish Dr. Sabbah was a general surgeon and family practitioner. I don't know if I will ever get medical care like this again!Posted on harry hashemiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had an excellent experience with this clinic.
