Care Philosophy

I seek to provide expert comprehensive individualized care with a primary focus upon providing less-invasive means to repair complex vascular surgical conditions inclusive of abdominal and thoracic aortic aneurysm, lower extremity occlusive disease, mesenteric artery occlusive disease, and carotid artery disease. Using all available endovascular techniques, I specialize in the repair of these vascular conditions through minimally invasive operations performed through the inside of the arteries, allowing even the sickest of patients to undergo repair of these life-threatening or limb-threatening conditions.
