Who We Are
Our vascular surgeons are renowned for their expertise in highly complex cases, including fenestrated aortic endografts, advanced treatments for carotid artery disease, and treatment of graft infections. Our surgeons also work closely with colleagues in other medical specialties as necessary.
By collaborating with physicians in cardiology, radiology, orthopaedics, neurology, internal medicine (including diabetes, rheumatology, and hematology), and physical medicine, we provide comprehensive evaluation, coordinated treatment, and follow-up management for all forms of vascular disease.
What We Treat
Our surgeons have expertise in all vascular disorders, from the routine to the complex.
Our program includes the following areas of specialization, services, and treatments:
