"Hi, I'm Dr. Silas Williams, fellowship-trained vascular and interventional radiologist, founder and president of MIVA Medical. We're super excited to take you on a quick tour today to show you what our facility has to offer. Let's take a look around.

Here at MIVA, we emphasize expert level care and we want our patients to feel comfortable. Welcome to the back office, where we specifically designed this space for patient convenience. We located our nurses station close to our recovery area so the nurses would always be available if needed. Over here you can see we have multiple clinical exam rooms where they will have their consultation and diagnostic workup. We offer a wide variety of non-invasive vascular testing to diagnose conditions, as well as perform minimally invasive procedures, all here in-house, which is much more convenient for the patient.

At MIVA, we perform a wide variety of minimally invasive treatment options for a number of different conditions. Let's start by looking at the endovascular suite and I'll show you what that looks like. This is our endovascular suite, where we use state-of-the-art equipment to perform all of our image-guided, minimally invasive procedures. Following the interventions, patients will recover here, like I said, conveniently located to the nurses station, emphasizing patient comfort and privacy.

Thank you for taking some time to watch this video. I hope you found it useful and informative. We really want you to feel at home at MIVA, and we really look forward to seeing you here in clinic."
