What Can I Expect From Vascular Surgery and Procedures?

Our team includes vascular surgeons, wound care experts, and other medical specialists. They will create a comprehensive plan to manage your condition and reduce your risk of complications.

Before your visit

To prepare for your visit, you will be asked to provide:

  • Name, address, and contact phone number.
  • Insurance information.
  • Relevant medical records and test results.
  • A referral, if required by your health insurance company.

If you get a referral from your primary care doctor or another physician, they can provide your test results and medical records to our team.

During your visit

You'll meet with a doctor, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant when you arrive for your first appointment. He or she will ask about your medical history and perform an exam.

We'll give you:

  • A complete explanation of your condition and treatments.
  • A tailored patient education packet for you to take home.

Your vascular surgery expert will explain your treatment options based on how long you've had symptoms, your condition, and your health history.

Together, you will design and agree on a care plan.

Your care team may also:

  • Order tests to learn more about your condition.
  • Schedule a procedure in the office or the hospital.
  • Provide in-office care, such as changing your wound dressing.

After your treatment

Our team will schedule follow-up appointments to check how your treatment is working. You should contact our office if:

  • You have questions about your treatment plan or medications.
  • Your symptoms get worse or do not improve as expected.
  • You have any other concerns about your condition.
