Our North Star Philosophy

Led by Experts. Built with Heart. Driven by Innovation.

At North Star Vascular & Interventional, we believe world-class care should be personal, precise, and accessible. Founded by Dr. Jafar Golzarian, Professor of Radiology, and Dr. Amin Astani, our clinic delivers advanced, minimally invasive treatments in a compassionate, patient-first environment. We don’t just treat conditions—we build relationships, write thank-you cards after procedures, and advocate for every patient like they’re family.

Meet Our Founders:Dr. Jafar Golzarian, Professor of Radiology, & Dr. Amin Astani, MD, MBA

Dr. Golzarian and Dr. Astani co-founded North Star Vascular & Interventional with a shared commitment to advancing minimally invasive care without losing the human touch. They envisioned a practice where innovative treatments go hand-in-hand with genuine compassion where every patient encounter feels personal and every outcome counts. Under their guidance, North Star has grown into a close-knit team driven by curiosity, collaboration, and a relentless pursuit of better patient experiences. Here, you’ll find world-class expertise delivered in a warm, welcoming setting—because at North Star, you’re more than a case file; you’re family.
