Vascular Medicine

A Vascular Medicine Specialist is a physician who specializes in providing comprehensive and effective care for all forms of vascular diseases and conditions of the circulatory system. They focus on the care of the circulatory system outside of the heart, including arteries, veins, and the lymphatic system. While they do not perform open surgery, they see and treat many patients who do not require surgery. These specialists utilize both non-invasive and more invasive treatments, such as surgery, to address a wide range of vascular conditions. General Responsibilities: 1. Ensure that patients with vascular health issues understand all their options. 2. Monitor and manage patients' conditions. 3. Focus on conservative and minimally invasive therapies. 4. Care about your long-term health and consider all your options. 5. Assess and manage cardiovascular risk factors that contribute to arterial and venous disease.
