Clinical focus
What does Dr. Sabbah treat?
Dr. Sabbah treats three conditions with image-guided embolization: enlarged prostate (BPH) with prostate artery embolization, knee osteoarthritis pain with genicular artery embolization, and symptomatic uterine fibroids with uterine fibroid embolization. Each consultation compares embolization with the other reasonable treatments for that condition rather than assuming a procedure.
Dr. Sabbah evaluates patients in Van Nuys, Tarzana, and Fountain Valley and compares image-guided options with other reasonable treatments.
Genicular artery embolization
Evaluation for selected patients with knee osteoarthritis pain who want to understand minimally invasive options.
Uterine fibroid embolization
Image-guided evaluation for selected patients experiencing symptoms associated with uterine fibroids.
Care begins with the diagnosis. Not every patient is a candidate for embolization. Recommendations depend on symptoms, imaging, medical history, prior treatment, anatomy, and individual goals.

Approach to patient care
What is Dr. Sabbah’s approach to patient care?
A consultation is designed to clarify the diagnosis, review prior treatment, and compare reasonable options. Dr. Sabbah discusses expected benefits, material risks, recovery, alternatives, and the possibility that a procedure may not provide adequate relief.
When appropriate, treatment planning may involve coordination with urology, orthopedics, gynecology, primary care, or another specialty. The goal is an informed decision—not a predetermined procedure.
