Provider Specialities we serve

Vascular Surgeons are the primary specialists for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases affecting the arteries and veins outside of the heart and brain. They are trained to perform both open surgical procedures and minimally invasive endovascular techniques to treat conditions like peripheral artery disease (PAD), aneurysms, carotid artery stenosis, varicose veins, and deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Their ability to provide a full spectrum of care—from medical management to complex surgery—makes them central to vascular care.

Interventional Cardiologists are cardiologists with advanced training in catheter-based techniques to treat both cardiac and peripheral vascular diseases. While they are best known for managing coronary artery disease, they also treat conditions like PAD, renal artery stenosis, and carotid artery narrowing using balloon angioplasty, stents, and atherectomy. They focus on endovascular therapies but do not typically perform open surgical procedures.

Interventional Radiologists (IRs) specialize in image-guided, minimally invasive procedures to treat a wide range of vascular and systemic conditions. Using tools like ultrasound, CT, and fluoroscopy, they perform procedures such as angioplasty, stenting, thrombolysis for DVT and PE, embolization for bleeding or tumors, and placement of IVC filters. Their expertise allows for targeted treatments with minimal recovery time, often in outpatient settings.

General Surgeons may handle basic vascular procedures, especially in rural or underserved areas where access to dedicated vascular surgeons is limited. While their primary focus is broader, they are trained to manage trauma-related vascular injuries and can perform procedures like vascular access for dialysis or emergency vessel repair when needed.

Diagnostic Radiologists, while not performing procedures themselves, are essential in vascular care through their expertise in imaging. They interpret studies such as CT angiography (CTA), MR angiography (MRA), duplex ultrasound, and venography. Their accurate and timely diagnosis enables precise treatment planning by interventional teams.

Nephrologists are specialists in kidney care who also play a critical role in vascular access management for dialysis patients. They oversee the creation and maintenance of arteriovenous (AV) fistulas and grafts and coordinate with vascular surgeons or interventional radiologists to address thrombosis or malfunction, ensuring effective and sustainable access for hemodialysis.
