Dr. Bilal Anwer
Vascular & Interventional Radiologist
Dr. Bilal Anwer is a Stanford Fellowship-trained, CAQ Board Certified Vascular and Interventional Radiologist with over a decade of clinical experience in Houston, TX. As a dual board-certified physician in both Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology, Dr. Anwer brings a depth of imaging expertise that allows him to identify the root cause of complex pain conditions and treat them precisely, without major surgery. He has successfully guided thousands of patients toward lasting relief from conditions including varicose veins, knee arthritis, uterine fibroids, pelvic pain, and arterial disease. Every procedure is image-guided, performed as an outpatient, and designed for same-day recovery.
Named a Top Doctor by Minnesota Monthly from 2020 to 2025, selected annually by peer nomination among thousands of licensed physicians statewide. Doctors were asked: "If you or a loved one needed care, which physician would you recommend?"
Trained at Stanford. Committed to Houston.
Dr. Bilal Anwer's path to Interventional Radiology began with an engineering mindset. His undergraduate training in Electrical Engineering at the University of Minnesota gave him a systems-level approach to problem solving that carries through every procedure he performs today. After completing medical school, a General Surgery internship at Mount Sinai Hospital, and a Diagnostic Radiology residency in Houston, he went on to complete his Fellowship in Vascular and Interventional Radiology at Stanford Medicine, one of the most respected training programmes in the world.
He returned to Houston with a singular focus: bringing minimally invasive, image-guided treatments to patients who had been told surgery was their only option. As a former Chief of Interventional Radiology, Dr. Anwer has overseen complex cases, collaborated with multidisciplinary hospital teams, and built a practice centred on precision, compassion, and results.
His dual board certification in both Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology is an important distinction. It means Dr. Anwer personally reads and interprets the imaging that informs his treatment decisions, adding a layer of diagnostic depth that many interventionalists do not have. That combination of skills allows him to identify root causes of pain that are frequently missed elsewhere.
Why minimally invasive?
My commitment to ethical and compassionate care drives everything I do. I believe patients deserve comprehensive solutions that prioritise relief and recovery over unnecessary procedures. In my previous role as Chief of Interventional Radiology, I worked closely with hospital leadership and multidisciplinary teams across complex cases. That experience shaped how I see every patient: as a whole person, not just a diagnosis. Interventional Radiology allows me to treat conditions that patients have often been told require major surgery, through a pinhole incision, under imaging guidance, with recovery measured in hours rather than weeks. Seeing a patient walk out the same day with significantly less pain is why I do this work.Dr. Bilal Anwer, Vascular & Interventional Radiologist
