Vascular & Endovascular
Care in Rhode Island
Vascular Surgery
Dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of all types of arterial and venous diseases, our team of highly trained vascular surgeons is well-versed in both open surgical techniques and minimally invasive endovascular approaches to treat most diseases and disorders affecting circulation in the neck, chest, abdomen, and extremities.
All of our locations throughout Rhode Island have a nationally accredited in-house Vascular Laboratory, allowing us to provide expedited, individualized care with each visit. Our vascular technologists can answer all your questions about your upcoming appointment, vascular tests, and office-based procedures.

Diseases We treat
Vascular disease is a major cause of pain, disability, and death. It is a common cause of heart attacks, strokes, and limb loss.
Below is a comprehensive list of the diseases our vascular surgeons treat.
- Aneurysm
- Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA)
- Arteriovenous malformation (AVM)
- Atherosclerosis
- Blood clot
- Carotid artery disease
- Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI)
- Critical limb ischemia (CLI)
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
- Hypertension (high blood pressure)
- Peripheral artery disease (PAD)
- Phlebitis
- Pulmonary embolism
- Stroke
- Thoracic aortic aneurysm
- Varicose veins
Providing advanced surgical treatment for complex vascular conditions to patients in Rhode Island and southern Massachusetts, including:
- Abdominal aortic aneurysm stenting or traditional open repair
- Carotid stenting or endarterectomy
- Peripheral arterial interventions, including angioplasty, stenting, or laser atherectomy
- Traditional bypass surgery for diabetic vascular disease and limb salvage
- Treatment of chronic nonhealing wounds due to poor circulation
Comprehensive management is also available for many disorders of the venous system, including:
- Treatment for varicose veins
- Phlebitis
- Arteriovenous malformations.
We offer in-office procedures for varicose veins, including ablation procedures and sclerotherapy.
- Claudication or muscle pain in the legs that occurs with activity and goes away with rest – common with peripheral artery disease
- A mass felt in the abdomen, sometimes accompanied by a pulsing sensation – common with an abdominal aortic aneurysm
- Noticeably bulging veins just under the skin – common with varicose veins
- Weakness or numbness in the limbs on just one side of the body – common with carotid artery disease
It is important to note that no signs or symptoms of vascular disease are often noticeable – until it is too late (as in the case of heart attack or stroke).
To reduce your risk of vascular disease, it is critical to see your doctor for annual checkups, or anytime you have a health issue or concern.
Minimally invasive options are selected when appropriate, which are often more convenient for patients and can help speed patient recovery.
We look forward to providing you and your family with comprehensive and compassionate care with a special focus on patient education, disease prevention, and management of common complications like chronic non-healing wounds.
