Vascular surgeons treat diseases of the blood vessels including aortic aneurysms, blocked arteries, varicose veins, and blood clots. They perform bypass grafts, endarterectomies, angioplasty with stenting, and endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR).

When selecting a vascular surgeon in Washington, DC, procedural experience and peer ratings are important. Physician Signal provides Insight Scores from OR staff who work directly with vascular surgeons during complex arterial and venous procedures.

Your initial vascular surgery consultation includes reviewing imaging studies (CT angiography, ultrasound), a vascular examination checking pulses and blood flow, and discussion of treatment options ranging from medication management to surgical or endovascular intervention.

Vascular surgeons receive peer ratings from verified healthcare professionals across six categories, combined into a weighted Insight Score from 1-10 that reflects their surgical skill, professionalism, and clinical outcomes.
