Wynnewood, Pa. (November 2006) — Joseph Bonn, M.D., of Berwyn, has joined the medical staff at Lankenau Medical Center as director of the hospital's Interventional Radiology Department. Bonn comes to Lankenau from Thomas Jefferson University Hospital and has more than 20 years' experience in interventional radiology, with a surgical subspecialty in treating uterine fibroids, vascular conditions and chemoembolization for cancer patients.
Bonn will oversee the expansion and renovation of Lankenau's Interventional Radiology Lab. Interventional radiology is a growing subspecialty that uses imaging guidance, such as X-rays, MRIs, ultrasounds and CT scans, to treat patients using minimally invasive techniques as an alternative to surgery in some cases.
A graduate of the University of Virginia School of Medicine, Bonn then completed an internship at the Carney Hospital in Boston, a surgical residency at St. Luke's/Roosevelt Hospital in New York and a radiology residency at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center, New York. He went on to fulfill an interventional radiology fellowship at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia.
Bonn is board certified in both diagnostic radiology and vascular and interventional radiology, and is published in numerous clinical studies. He has been recognized as a "Top Doctor" by Philadelphia magazine.
