Dr. Victor Shi, M.D. & Dr. Salar Hakham

Dr. Victor Shi is a well-respected, subspecialty-trained Vascular & Interventional Radiologist with unique expertise and special interest in minimally invasive endovascular surgery, including both peripheral arterial disease and venous disease treatments.

​

After completing his subspecialty fellowship training at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, one of the most prestigious, Ivy-League university hospitals in the country, Dr. Shi took an assistant professor position at the Loma Linda University Medical Center, where he trained vascular surgeons and interventional radiologists in the field of minimally invasive endovascular surgery and interventional procedures. While remaining as a clinical professor at Loma Linda, Dr. Shi was recruited and appointed the Chief of Vascular & Interventional Radiology at Garfield Medical Center in 2016, and the co-director of Beverly Hospital’s Amputation Prevention and Would Care Center.

​

Dr. Shi is well regarded in both the academic realm and the community as one of the leading experts in the treatment of peripheral arterial disease including complex below the knee interventions using the latest, cutting-edge technologies. In addition to treating arterial disease, he also offers advanced techniques, including Endovenous Laser Ablation, Endovenous Radiofrequency Ablation, and Endovenous Sclerotherapy, to help reduce discomfort and improve the appearance of areas affected by painful, swollen and unsightly varicose veins.

​

Dr. Shi is also an expert in the following minimally invasive surgical fields: dialysis access creation, maintenance, and intervention; interventional oncology, treating liver, kidney, lung, and bone tumors; women’s health, treating uterine fibroids, pelvic congestion syndrome, breast biopsy, and thyroid biopsy amongst many other minimally invasive procedures.

​

Together with a team of nine full-time interventional radiologists, Dr. Shi hopes to bring an academic level of minimally invasive procedures and cutting-edge technologies to the San Gabriel Valley area. Dr. Victor Shi is bilingual in English and Mandarin Chinese.

Dr. Salar Hakham is a Vascular & Interventional Specialist with academic level expertise in performing advanced, minimally invasive vascular procedures and with a special interest in endovascular surgeries for the treatment of peripheral arterial disease and limb salvage (amputation prevention). He is board certified by the American Board of Radiology with a certificate of added qualification (CAQ) in Vascular and Interventional Radiology.

​

Dr. Hakham is a graduate of University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), where he obtained his Bachelor of Science in Psychobiology with a Suma Cum Laude in Departmental Honors. He attended medical school at Western University in California, and completed his four year radiology residency at Tufts University Medical Center in Boston. He then went on to complete a vigorous year of subspecialty training in vascular and endovascular fellowship and interventional oncology at the prestigious Loma Linda University Medical Center.

​

Dr. Hakham’s clinical expertise includes the evaluation and management of patients with a wide array of disease types such as uterine fibroids, peripheral vascular disease, dialysis access, cancer (lung, liver, renal, and metastatic), and palliative/pain management among other conditions. He specializes in minimally invasive image-guided procedures and endovascular surgeries including PAD interventions such as atherectomy, arterial angioplasty and stent placement, vascular salvage for dialysis access, tumor embolization and ablation, and vertebroplasty/kyphoplasty.

 

Dr. Hakham is the Chief of Interventional Radiology at Beverly Hospital in Montebello and the Director of Interventional Radiology at the Amputation Prevention and Wound Care Center at Beverly Hospital. He is on the Medical Executive Committee at the Emanate Hospitals where he also serves as Departmental Chair for Radiology.
