Access to advanced technology found at academic medical centers like SSM Health Saint Louis University Hospital is one of Dr. Vaheesan’s favorite parts of the job.

“I like SLU Hospital for having the highly advanced interventional radiology suites, friendly staff, supportive management and patient-focused environment,” he says. “Not only that, SLU Hospital also allows me to work with some of the best doctors in the country and advance me professionally.”

Dr. Vaheesan says he believes strongly in the motto of Jeff Brown, MD, radiology chairman: “Attain clinical excellence and ensure every patient receives the best possible care.”

“We treat the most complex cases I have ever seen before and I enjoy that challenge,” he says.
