Radiologist - Interventional

Syracuse, NY

Weekday interventional practice in Central New York – procedures, not a reading list, with evening and weekend call taken from home.

The Community

Syracuse sits at the heart of Central New York, with one of the lowest costs of living of any university city in the Northeast. Skaneateles Lake and the Finger Lakes wine country are a short drive west, the Adirondacks and Thousand Islands are within easy reach for weekends, and Onondaga Lake Park, the New York State Fair and Syracuse University athletics keep the city busy year-round. Neighborhoods such as Fayetteville, Manlius, Cazenovia and Skaneateles offer excellent schools and short commutes to University Hill.

Getting Here

The Facility
