Vascular Surgery

We know that most of us don’t think about our body’s circulatory system until there is a problem.  This system transports nutrients to the cells throughout the body and when problems occur, this can be life threatening.  Our goal is to help our patients achieve optimal health by the treatment and prevention of vascular disease.  

Your care is important to us and you can be assured that our focus is on you.  We are dedicated to finding the right treatment, educating you on your options and exceeding your needs.  We will work together with you and your family to ensure that you have the information necessary to make informed decisions.

The VCU Health Vascular Surgery division is committed to making your care our top priority. In addition, we are training the next generation of premier vascular surgeons and engaging in research that will bring the newest treatments to you. Our team specializes in the treatment of vascular diseases using state of the art diagnostic and therapeutic techniques.  Whether the best option is non-invasive management, minimally invasive endovascular therapies, or open surgery, our surgeons can provide the full spectrum of therapies to treat any peripheral vascular problem.
