Dr. Hieshima
Dr. Hieshima was born in 1942 at the Santa Anita Racetrack Assembly Center, a gathering spot for Japanese-American internees before they were shipped off to relocation camps during World War II. He attended UCLA and received his medical education at Tulane University, where he graduated in 1969 with honors.
His postgraduate training at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center began in surgery and then changed to radiology. In 1973, he completed a residency in diagnostic radiology and subsequently obtained subspecialty training in neuroradiology and nuclear medicine.
Appointed assistant professor of radiology at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center in 1974, he worked to evolve new techniques in the management of vascular trauma. After moving to the UCLA Center for Health Sciences in 1983, he became a professor of radiology and helped to pioneer new therapies for aneurysms and vasospasm.
The University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) recruited him in 1986 to be a professor of radiology and neurological surgery. There, he directed the neurovascular section devoted to multi-disciplinary evaluation and treatment of arteriovenous fistulas, malformations, aneurysms and stroke. In 1996, Dr. Hieshima was named director of the Neuroscience Institute at St. Joseph's Medical Center in Orange County, California.
Dr. Hieshima is recognized nationally and internationally as one of the premier figures in the field of interventional neuroradiology, a minimally invasive approach using imaging techniques to detect and treat vascular diseases of the central nervous system. Dr. Hieshima has trained more than 100 fellows in diagnostic and interventional neuroradiology. He has more than 150 scientific publications and 60 book chapters. He also has lectured at more than 400 medical conferences.
