Clinical interests: Clinical interests are focused on the treatment of venous disorders including options for acute deep venous thrombosis and for chronic venous diseases. This ranges from cosmetic and varicose veins as well as advanced venous insufficiency such as ulcers. Other interests include treatments for peripheral arterial disease, aneurysms, carotid disease and hemodialysis access.
Research Interests: Chronic Venous Insufficiency and Dialysis Access
