medically Proven.Patient Approved.
Hemorrhoids are one of the most common anorectal conditions—causing pain, swelling, bleeding, and embarrassment that can interfere with everyday life. Hemorrhoid Artery Embolization (HAE) offers an advanced solution that targets the cause, not just the symptoms, and does so without invasive surgery.
- Over 90% of patients report meaningful symptom improvement
- Many resume normal routines within a few days
- No general anesthesia or surgical cuts required
- Preserves normal anatomy and function
- Covered by Medicare and most major health plans
Stop suffering in silence. Get the relief you deserve.
Too Often, Surgery Is the Only Option Presented
Every year, thousands undergo hemorrhoidectomy—an operation that can require weeks of recovery and cause considerable discomfort. Yet HAE offers lasting relief without cutting or removing tissue, minimizing both pain and downtime.
We believe patients should always be informed of all available choices, especially those that fit their lifestyle, protect their comfort, and promote quicker healing.

Understanding Your Care PathHow HAE Works
Hemorrhoid Artery Embolization reduces blood flow to the vessels feeding the hemorrhoidal tissue, leading to shrinkage and symptom relief. Guided by imaging, our specialists perform the treatment with precision and care.
Steps to Comfortable Recovery Without Surgery
- A micro-catheter is inserted through a small opening in the wrist or groin
- Special embolic agents block targeted arteries supplying the hemorrhoids
- Reduced blood supply causes them to shrink naturally over time
- The procedure is typically completed in under an hour, with same-day discharge
