About Me
For me, patient care is a continuum of mental, physical and spiritual support throughout a patient's lifetime and in a sense, is a lifetime pact between the patient and physician.The focus of my practice is on vascular disease – both medical and surgical – with an emphasis on surgical care. Specifically, I concentrate on all aspects of vascular surgery, including endovascular surgery.
I became interested in vascular surgery because it stimulated me more than any other aspect of surgery. It’s very challenging and requires a commitment to performing very technically precise operations.
In my spare time, I enjoy relaxing with my family, reading books about the Civil War and attending Ohio State football games.

Arrogant, left the room abruptly without answering all of my questions, poor attitude when I spoke about my concerns, did not show much respect towards me.

Am very pleased to be under Dr. Vaccaro's care. He is professional and explains things well.

Dr. Vaccaro was friendly as always. He answered my questions in a way that I understood and he DID NOT MAKE ME FEEL STUPID.
Reviewed on Sep 28, 2018
When a provider has been in a field for a long time, he may take for granted that the patient is at the same level as him - Medically. I felt he didn't get his knowledge across to me the same way he would have 30 years ago. Go slow. Start by assuming the patient knows nothing. Explain every thing.
