Vascular Clinic (Blood Vessels)

Vascular specialty care focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of diseases and conditions affecting the blood vessels, including arteries, veins, and lymphatic vessels. Vascular specialists use advanced techniques to treat issues such as peripheral artery disease, varicose veins, aneurysms, blood clots, and poor circulation. They can also assist with wound care. This care aims to improve blood flow, reduce symptoms, and prevent serious complications like stroke or limb loss.

You should talk to your primary care provider about seeing a vascular surgeon if you experience any of the following:

• Chronic leg pain or cramping, especially when walking
• Cold or numb extremities
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or history of blood clots
• Leg ulcers or wounds that won’t heal
• Poor circulation or discoloration in the arms or legs
• Pulmonary embolism or symptoms of a blood clot in the lungs
• Swelling in the legs or ankles
• Varicose veins causing pain or discomfort
• Weak or absent pulses in the arms or legs

Early evaluation by a vascular surgeon can help prevent serious complications related to blood vessel disorders.

Vascular surgeons specialize in diagnosing and treating vein-related conditions, including:

• Chronic venous insufficiency
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
• Leg swelling related to vein problems
• Non-healing venous ulcers
• Phlebitis (vein inflammation)
• Spider veins
• Varicose veins
• Venous reflux disease

Vascular surgeons use both minimally invasive procedures and medical therapies to improve vein health and relieve symptoms.
