I became a vascular surgeon because I enjoy everything about vascular surgery. The field is filled with innovation and advancement. It is always exciting to learn new techniques and devices to treat a condition. It is wonderful that I can offer the most minimally invasive procedure(endovascular) or a major operation depending on the requirements of the case.

I love the continual care that I can provide my patients. I like telling them that “we are going to be best friends” when I perform PAD, aneurysm or carotid stenosis surveillance.

I admire that vascular surgery is a field that provides comprehensive care, I.e. saving a life/limb through ruptured aneurysm repair/bleeding control, prevention care by routine surveillance and pharmaceutical therapy and patient education with a smoking cessation program or lifestyle modification for better cardiovascular health.

Finally, vascular surgery is the surgeon’s best friend. I am privileged to be relied on by my colleagues at work either with exposures or to bail them out from bleeding or a “lack of blood flow.”

I joined the MVSS because I want to be an active contributing member to the regional society. I want to form connections/meet new people and also to keep in touch with old friends.
