Minimally Invasive Procedure Specialists (MIPS) is a surgical model practice for Interventional Radiology. We run a full -service outpatient clinic and office-based laboratory (OBL- procedure center). Within our practice we perform minimally invasive complex treatments of deep vein thrombosis, non-thrombotic venous abnormalities, pelvic venous disease, uterine fibroids, superficial vein treatments and injections for various patient needs.
Dr. Brooke Spencer founded the independent IR practice with a vision of exceptional patient care, responsibility for the patients, supportive work environment with comradery amongst a cohesive staff, and a balanced life where people love coming to their jobs every day and are able to go home and enjoy their families and friends.
Our culture is one of inclusivity with the entire staff, from the front office to the physicians, working together to provide the best possible care for our patients. Within this culture the NP role is very independent, allowing the NP to develop his/her own relationships, while being fully supported by the physician team and office staff. The NP functions primarily as a focused and specialized care provider, with the support of the office staff and medical assistants. There is an opportunity to learn and perform procedures, with a great variety of patient problems and complexity to keep the job interesting and challenging.
