IR Centers

What IR Centers does

IR Centers is a privately held interventional radiology (IR) platform founded in 2020 by Dr. Sandeep Bagla (CEO, President, and Founder) and headquartered in McLean, Virginia, operating as IR Centers USA, LLC. The company delivers minimally invasive, image-guided procedures through affiliated sub-brands—Prostate Centers USA, Hemorrhoid Centers, and Ortho Centers—spanning 25+ markets and 40+ locations across the United States. Its core procedures include Prostatic Artery Embolization (PAE) for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), hemorrhoid embolization, Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE), Genicular Artery Embolization (GAE) for knee osteoarthritis, varicocele and pelvic congestion embolization, erectile dysfunction treatments, interventional oncology (including Y-90 radioembolization for liver cancer), and peripheral arterial disease interventions.

Rather than operating standalone facilities, IR Centers embeds its interventional radiologists into established urology, orthopedic, and (planned) gastroenterology practices, embedding equipment, procedural protocols, and clinical-research expertise into host sites while leveraging partner patient flow and specialty referrals. Revenue is generated through professional-services billing for outpatient IR procedures, paid via insurance on a per-procedure basis; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company is led by Founder/CEO Sandeep Bagla, co-founder Tiffany Ramos, and a clinical leadership team including Chief Medical Officer for Innovation & Development Alex Pavidapha (one of the busiest embolization practitioners in the U.S.) and Medical Director Ari Isaacson, supported by research leadership underwritten by the founder's role as principal investigator on multiple clinical trials and authorship of peer-reviewed studies and multisociety consensus documents. Distribution is partnership-led with embedded field-based relationship development, complemented by a multi-channel marketing mix including a website, educational videos, publications, webinars, and medical-conference partnerships (e.g., STREAM Meeting). Ownership appears founder-controlled with no disclosed institutional or PE backing.

Direct peers

• Aledade: Aledade partners with independent primary care and specialty physician practices to help them succeed in value-based care arrangements, offering technology, analytics, and network support. Direct peer on partnership-led distribution into existing physician practices, although Aledade's focus is PCP-led ACO enablement rather than procedural services.
• Solis Mammography: Solis Mammography is a specialty outpatient platform operating dedicated breast imaging centers under a unified national brand, often co-located within or partnered with OB/GYN and primary care practices. Closely comparable model to IR Centers: specialty outpatient services embedded in partner practices, scaled nationally under a focused condition-specific brand (analogous to Prostate Centers USA / Hemorrhoid Centers).
• Procept BioRobotics: Procept BioRobotics markets Aquablation and previously UroLift, devices used by urologists to treat BPH as alternatives to surgery. Direct competitor in the same patient indication (BPH/enlarged prostate) that IR Centers' Prostate Centers USA addresses, competing for the same urologist referrals and patients seeking non-surgical BPH solutions.
• Privia Health: Privia Health is a physician-enablement platform that partners with independent medical groups across multiple specialties, providing technology, practice operations, and value-based care infrastructure. Highly comparable GTM motion: enters markets by forming long-term strategic partnerships with existing practices rather than building de novo clinics, mirroring IR Centers' embedded partnership approach with urology groups.

Emerging players

• U.S. Physical Therapy: U.S. Physical Therapy operates a national network of outpatient physical and occupational therapy clinics, many built through joint venture partnerships with local therapists. Comparable specialty outpatient roll-up with partnership-driven site expansion, though in the rehabilitation/musculoskeletal lane rather than image-guided procedural care.
• Agilon Health: Agilon Health partners with primary care physician groups to take global risk for senior populations, scaling its partnership model across geographies. Comparable in its reliance on multi-state physician practice partnerships for national scale, though Agilon operates in a value-based care and senior care lane rather than procedural specialty services.

Broad incumbents

• Concentra (Select Medical Holdings):
• Boston Scientific (Rezum): Boston Scientific markets the Rezum system, a transurethral water vapor thermal therapy for BPH used by urologists. Competes head-to-head with IR Centers' PAE procedure for the same BPH patient population, leveraging Boston Scientific's scale, established urology sales force, and device-based distribution model.
• Optum (Surgical Care Affiliates): Optum's Surgical Care Affiliates is one of the largest ambulatory surgery center (ASC) platforms in the U.S., operating multi-specialty outpatient surgical facilities. Comparable as a scaled outpatient procedural services platform, though Optum/SCA owns and operates its facilities whereas IR Centers embeds in partner practice sites.
• RadNet: RadNet is the largest outpatient diagnostic imaging network in the U.S., operating freestanding imaging centers across multiple modalities. Comparable as a multi-site outpatient radiology services platform, but focused primarily on diagnostic imaging rather than therapeutic interventional radiology procedures like IR Centers.
