On Warner Avenue near the 405 freeway, in the Pacific Coast Multi Specialty Surgery building. Office details and directions
Dr. Sabbah performs three embolization procedures at the Fountain Valley office: prostate artery embolization (PAE) for enlarged prostate, genicular artery embolization (GAE) for knee osteoarthritis pain, and uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) for symptomatic fibroids. All three are outpatient procedures done through a pinhole access point under sedation rather than general anesthesia.
Patients choose an interventional radiologist because conditions a surgeon would treat through an incision can often be treated through the blood vessels instead: no hospital admission in most cases, sedation instead of general anesthesia, a pinhole access point, and a recovery measured in days rather than weeks. Candidacy still depends on an examination and imaging.
Interventional radiology treats problems through the blood vessels instead of through an incision. For the conditions treated at SoCal Interventional, that means no hospital admission in most cases, sedation rather than general anesthesia, a pinhole access point at the wrist or thigh instead of a surgical wound, and a return to normal activity measured in days rather than weeks. It also means the organ stays in place: the prostate is not resected, the knee joint is not opened, and the uterus is not removed. Embolization is not the right answer for everyone, and the consultation is candid about when surgery, medication, or watchful waiting is the better path.
The Fountain Valley office serves Fountain Valley, Newport Beach, Costa Mesa, Tustin, Santa Ana, Orange, Anaheim, Lake Forest, Laguna Hills, Laguna Niguel, Mission Viejo, Rancho Santa Margarita, Huntington Beach, and the rest of Orange County, along with patients who travel from Riverside County and north San Diego County. This page describes the practice’s actual Orange County location; SoCal Interventional does not maintain an office in every city named.
Irvine patients: the former Irvine office has moved to Fountain Valley, about 15 minutes away via the I-405; the same interventional radiologist and the same procedures (PAE, GAE and UFE) are available here.
Your visit is with an interventional radiologist, not a scheduler. It includes a review of your symptoms, prior treatments, and records; any imaging or lab work still needed (PSA, prostate or pelvic imaging, knee X-rays or MRI, blood counts); a plain explanation of whether an embolization procedure is appropriate for you and what the alternatives are; and, if you proceed, a procedure date at the same office with the same physician team. Bring a photo ID, insurance card, a list of medications, and any recent imaging or specialist notes.
From the 405, exit at Warner Avenue and head east; the office is on Warner Avenue in the Pacific Coast Multi Specialty Surgery building. From Huntington Beach, Costa Mesa and Newport Beach the 405 north to Warner Avenue is direct; from Santa Ana, Garden Grove and Westminster use Warner Avenue or the 22 to the 405 south; from Irvine and south county take the 405 north. Parking instructions are provided when you book, and a companion should drive you home on procedure day because sedation is used.

An interventional radiologist is a physician who uses real-time imaging — X-ray, ultrasound, or CT — to guide thin catheters and needles through tiny access points to treat conditions inside the body. At SoCal Interventional the focus is embolization: blocking the blood supply of an enlarged prostate, an arthritic knee lining, or uterine fibroids so the tissue shrinks and symptoms ease, without open surgery.
No referral is required for a consultation. PPO plans generally allow self-referral, and we coordinate with your urologist, orthopedic surgeon, or gynecologist when you ask us to. Some plans require prior authorization for a procedure, which our office handles.
Consultations, imaging review, the procedures, and follow-up are performed by the same physician team at the Fountain Valley office on Warner Avenue, with hospital-based care arranged in the uncommon case it is needed.
SoCal Interventional accepts most PPO plans, Original Medicare, many Medicare Advantage PPO plans, and self-pay. Benefits are verified before scheduling. HMO and Medi-Cal plans usually require a referral or are not accepted; our team will tell you before you travel.
Yes. Patients regularly travel from Riverside, Temecula, Corona, Oceanside, and north San Diego County. Records can be reviewed in advance so that the first visit is productive, and procedure days are scheduled to fit travel.
