Dr. Mao is always available to talk with patients about interventional radiology procedures that may serve as an alternative to more invasive treatments.

Dr. Mao is married to Dr. David Gatof, a practicing member of Gastroenterology of the Rockies. They both love the community of Boulder and enjoy many outdoor activities such as biking, camping, hiking, and skiing. Her favorite pastimes, however, are making bead jewelry and reading.
