Mission Statement
A team-oriented approach to finding answers and instilling hope.
Restoring quality of life for patients with chronic, complex conditions — through minimally invasive, image-guided care.
What We Do
Image-guided care, through an incision the size of an IV.
- Our vascular specialists perform procedures for many disease types and organ systems using image guidance through an incision the size of an IV.
- Our physicians and NPs are passionate about discovering often-undiagnosed venous causes of pelvic pain and offering treatments that are less invasive than the surgeries most of them have experienced without relief.
- We restore hope by carefully listening to our patients and interpreting complex imaging to find problems often missed in the past.
- We include you in the team and empower you with knowledge and understanding.
Our extensive research program, collaborating with world-renowned doctors, is publishing groundbreaking work. We are hopeful this will lead to better diagnosis and treatment options for patients living with complex, chronic conditions.

What Our Patients Say
Excellent — based on 147 Google reviews.
I saw Dr Spencer after having a horrifying experience at another center. As a physician myself, I can assert that Dr Spencer is the kind of physician you want on your side. She listened to me, believed my symptoms, and reassured me that I was not broken. She is truly an expert in her field.
I was recently able to get a stent placed to address May-Thurner syndrome and so far my pelvic pain has been significantly improved! This surgery will change my life and I'm so thankful for this opportunity.
Suzanne explained everything to us in easy-to-understand language. Scheduling made our follow-ups work for us, as well. Everyone is kind and patient, and we are grateful for their care!
Dr. Spencer and the whole MIPS team are absolutely incredible. As a chronically ill person who has been to many providers throughout my life, I can confidently say that she is one of the best physicians I've had the privilege of being treated by. Even just one day post-op my pelvic pain tremendously improved.
Kari Wedell is amazing!!! Not only does she help with my pelvic pain condition, she is extremely knowledgeable with urology!
I am forever grateful for Dr. Spencer and the MIPS team!
