At United Vein & Vascular Centers, patients can expect more than expert care; they find physicians who are shaping the future of medicine. One of those leaders is Dr. Robert Kirsch, a board-certified interventional radiologist and vein specialist with over 30 years of experience.
His pioneering work in minimally invasive procedures has changed how countless patients experience care, especially women seeking alternatives to surgery.
Dr. Kirsch’s career is built around one mission: to provide advanced, effective treatment options that help patients heal faster, avoid major surgery, and regain their quality of life.
A Leader in Minimally Invasive Treatment for Fibroids
For decades, women with uterine fibroids were told their only solution was a hysterectomy. Dr. Kirsch helped change that. As one of the first physicians in the world to perform Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE), he helped redefine the standard of care for fibroid treatment.
UFE is a non-surgical procedure that blocks blood flow to fibroids, causing them to shrink and relieving symptoms such as heavy bleeding, pelvic pain, and pressure. This procedure allows women to preserve their uterus, recover quickly, and return to their lives without the risks of major surgery.
Since performing his first UFE decades ago, Dr. Kirsch has successfully completed thousands of procedures, placing him among the most experienced providers in the country. His dedication to advancing women’s health has earned him national and international recognition in the medical community.
Bringing Awareness to Pelvic Venous Disorders in Women
In addition to fibroid treatment, Dr. Kirsch is highly regarded for his expertise in pelvic venous disorders—a group of conditions that can cause chronic pelvic pain. These issues often go undiagnosed for years, leaving women frustrated and searching for answers.
At the UVVC Tampa vascular clinic, Dr. Kirsch uses advanced imaging and minimally invasive techniques to identify the root causes of pelvic pain, often linked to dysfunctional veins in the pelvic region. Through targeted treatment, he helps restore proper circulation and provide lasting relief.
This work reflects a larger trend in modern medicine: identifying the true source of pain rather than masking symptoms. Patients who once felt unheard often find answers and hope under Dr. Kirsch’s care.
Advancing Vascular Health Across Tampa and Beyond
Dr. Kirsch’s expertise extends beyond women’s health. At UVVC, he treats a wide range of vascular conditions using state-of-the-art, image-guided procedures that minimize risk and recovery time.
Among the conditions he treats are:
- Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD): A condition that restricts blood flow to the limbs and can lead to pain, numbness, and mobility challenges.
- Varicose Veins: Common vein issues that can cause discomfort, swelling, or cosmetic concerns.
- Pelvic Venous Insufficiency: A circulatory condition that can contribute to chronic pelvic pain in women.
By using catheter-based, image-guided techniques, Dr. Kirsch can treat these problems with tiny incisions and minimal downtime, helping patients get back to the activities they love.
Pioneering New Frontiers in Embolization Treatments
Dr. Kirsch’s contributions to interventional radiology extend well beyond fibroids. He continues to bring cutting-edge embolization techniques to patients in Tampa and across Florida.
He performs:
- Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE): A minimally invasive treatment for men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
- Genicular Artery Embolization (GAE): An innovative treatment for chronic knee pain caused by osteoarthritis.
- Hemorrhoidal Artery Embolization (HAE): A solution for patients with symptomatic hemorrhoids who want to avoid surgery.
Each of these procedures follows the same philosophy: effective results with less risk, less pain, and faster recovery.
Shaping the Future of Interventional Medicine
Dr. Kirsch is not only an exceptional clinician but also an educator and researcher dedicated to advancing the field. He played a key role in developing the Society of Interventional Radiology’s fibroid registry program, a major initiative that supports evidence-based care and helps physicians around the world improve patient outcomes.
He holds multiple board certifications, including:
- American Board of Radiology
- American Board of Venous and Lymphatic Medicine
- National Board of Medical Examiners
- American Registry for Diagnostic Medical Sonographers
Dr. Kirsch has also earned fellowship status in several prestigious medical organizations, including the Society of Interventional Radiology (FSIR), American Vein & Lymphatic Society (FAVLS), and the Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiological Society of Europe (FCIRSE). These distinctions reflect his ongoing commitment to excellence, education, and innovation in patient care.
Patient-Centered Care at United Vein & Vascular Centers

From the first consultation to post-procedure follow-ups, patients can expect personalized attention and care that focuses on their unique needs. His team ensures that each individual feels informed and supported throughout every step of the process.
This philosophy aligns with the broader mission of United Vein & Vascular Centers: to make advanced, minimally invasive care accessible to patients throughout Florida and beyond.
A Tampa Physician Making a Global Impact
