About

Verghese George, MD, is a board-certified diagnostic radiologist and nuclear medicine physician with additional fellowship training in Abdominal Imaging and Body MRI. Prior to Radiology , he trained in Obstetrics and Gynecology in India and the United Kingdom. With more than 30 years in practice, he is an expert in using noninvasive imaging techniques such as MRI, CAT scan and ultrasound to diagnose, among other conditions, cancer, infertility, endometriosis, pelvic floor disorders and placenta accreta spectrum — a pregnancy complication wherein the placenta improperly attaches to the uterine wall during pregnancy and does not detach during birth.

Dr. George decided to become a doctor to use his knowledge and skills to help people heal, to ease their pain and to improve their quality of life. As a radiologist, he enjoys the role of medical detective, analyzing images to uncover answers and support accurate diagnoses. Dr. George treats each patient as an equal partner in decision-making and finds joy in serving as a catalyst for change in a person’s life.
