Libertyville, IL, United States, 17th Jun 2025 – The Joint and Vascular Institute, a leading provider of minimally invasive procedures for pain relief and vascular conditions, is proud to debut its founders and clinical leaders: Dr. Osman Ahmed and Dr. Mikin Patel.
As the visionaries behind the Institute, Drs. Ahmed and Patel established the practice to revolutionize outpatient care through innovative, patient-first interventional radiology solutions.
Conceived from their shared mission to make world-class, image-guided therapies more accessible to the patient community, the Joint and Vascular Institute now serves greater Chicago area with a unique blend of compassion, precision, and speed-to-recovery that is redefining what it means to receive modern vascular and joint care.
Co-Founder Dr. Osman Ahmed, MD
Dr. Ahmed brings unmatched clinical knowledge and a patient-first philosophy. He specializes in treating osteoarthritis and other musculoskeletal pain conditions, BPH (enlarged prostate), uterine fibroids, and internal hemorrhoids using advanced embolization techniques.
He is also a leading expert and pioneer in the United States for the advancement of genicular artery embolization, a minimally invasive treatment for symptomatic knee osteoarthritis.
Dr. Ahmed is a board-certified vascular and interventional radiologist and a Professor of Radiology. He graduated from the University of Illinois College of Medicine, completed his internship at NorthShore University HealthSystem, his residency at the University of Chicago Medicine, and his fellowship at the Stanford University School of Medicine.
“One of the greatest parts of my job is offering patients options they haven’t heard of before—real alternatives to surgery,” Dr. Ahmed explains. “Seeing them recover quicker and return home sooner makes everything worthwhile.”
Dr. Ahmed’s contributions extend well beyond patient care. A noted researcher and international speaker, his work has been featured in top medical journals including Radiology, Chest, Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology, and Journal of Surgical Oncology. He is a passionate advocate for expanding access to innovative treatments and educating the next generation of physicians
Co-Founder Dr. Mikin V. Patel, MD
Dr. Patel is focused on offering patients alternatives to traditional surgery that are not only effective but also far less disruptive to daily life. His approachable style, combined with deep technical expertise, empowers patients to take an active role in their care and recovery.
“For years, we have been pioneering and teaching other doctors how to perform innovative, minimally invasive treatments to help patients. Now, we have figured out how to bring these same treatments to the patients without having to deal with the headache of a big hospital. Getting high level care doesn’t have to be complicated. We’re about improving quality of life in a way that’s safe, effective, and convenient.”
Dr. Patel is a board-certified expert in Interventional Radiology and Diagnostic Radiology. He earned his medical degree from the University of Illinois College of Medicine and completed his internship at NorthShore University HealthSystem. He then trained at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine and completed a prestigious fellowship at Northwestern Memorial Hospital.
A Different Kind of Healthcare Experience
The Joint and Vascular Institute reimagines the outpatient healthcare experience. The mission: deliver highly specialized interventional procedures in a welcoming environment where patients receive direct access to physician expertise without the cost, complexity, or recovery of major surgery.
Located in Libertyville, IL, the Institute provides minimally invasive, image-guided solutions for:
- Hemorrhoid Artery Embolization
- Genicular Artery Embolization (knee pain relief)
- Shoulder Artery Embolization (frozen shoulder treatment)
- Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE)
- Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE for BPH)
- Plantar Fasciitis Embolization
- Hip Embolization
- Thyroid Embolization
These procedures are performed through a small incision, often in under an hour, using imaging technology that guides precision tools to the treatment site. The result is reduced pain, fewer risks, and faster recovery—all without general anesthesia or a hospital stay.
“We’re not just treating symptoms—we’re partnering with our patients from the first visit onward,” says Dr. Ahmed. “Every procedure is a coordinated effort between our physicians, nurses, technologists, and support team to deliver the best possible outcome.”
Empowering the Community Through Education and Access
One of the foundational goals Dr. Ahmed and Dr. Patel had in creating the Joint and Vascular Institute was to increase access to world-class interventional care. Their practice not only removes many of the financial and recovery-related barriers associated with surgery but also emphasizes patient education and engagement.
“We’re helping people regain their quality of life—whether it’s being able to go up stairs without pain, sleep comfortably, or lift their grandkids. These may seem like small wins, but for our patients, they’re everything,” says Dr. Patel.
Looking Ahead: Vision and Values
As founders, Drs. Ahmed and Patel are committed to continual growth, innovation, and advocacy. The Joint and Vascular Institute is already a regional leader in outpatient interventional care, and plans are in motion to expand offerings and reach even more patients
“We’re here to change the way people think about getting treated,” says Dr. Ahmed. “Minimally invasive care isn’t just an option—it’s often the best one. We want to make sure every patient knows that.”
