Pediatric - Radiology Physician

Location: Orange County, California

About the Practice: Our team performs over 3,000 image-guided pediatric interventions annually, with year-over-year growth exceeding 20%. We are the only dedicated pediatric IR program in Orange County and serve as a critical hub for patients across the region. CHOC is unique in that Interventional Radiology is an independent department purpose-built and equipped with dedicated capital investment, not repurposed from other service lines. The department was developed specifically for pediatric IR and opened in 2025 with entirely new infrastructure and technology. This institutional design reflects CHOC s deep commitment to the long-term success and autonomy of the IR service line, enabling strategic growth, programmatic development, and physician well-being. The practice is now anchored by a new, purpose-designed IR department, located within the perioperative space, immediately adjacent to pre-op and post-op care areas. Pediatric anesthesiology is always available, ensuring seamless coordination and safety for both routine and complex cases. Our facilities include: Biplane and single-plane Philips Azurion suites with fully equipped, dedicated ultrasound units in each room. Embedded reading rooms and back-office support for integrated longitudinal care.
