Patients with vascular disease are often faced with complex chronic disorders that challenge them physically and emotionally. These issues are not always straightforward and require creative solutions to provide patients with the best long-term care and quality of life. I embrace having lasting relationships with vascular patients with the goal of integrating the preventative model of primary care.
In addition to being Assistant Professor of Vascular Surgery, I have a strong interest in medical education and curriculum development. I treat a spectrum of vascular diseases and conditions including aortic aneurysms, aortoiliac occlusive disease, aortic ulcers, arteriovenous fistulas, carotid artery disease, critical limb ischemia, mesenteric ischemia, peripheral arterial disease, thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms, vascular graft infections, varicose veins, venous insufficiency and visceral artery aneurysms. I am highly skilled in complex endovascular and open aortic reconstruction and have experience with rare vascular diseases.
