About Me
As a vascular surgeon at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, I specialize in complex arterial reconstructions involving the abdominal and thoracic aorta, peripheral blood vessels including critical limb ischemia, thoracic outlet syndrome and carotid artery disease.
I believe in exploring all options for new techniques in minimally invasive and conventional surgery, which I tailor to the patient’s needs and state of health. This usually requires a multidisciplinary approach to patient care.
My current research involves developing a new generation of endovascular stents to treat aortic aneurysms.
My favorite part about working at Ohio State is the spirit of the institution and the comradery among my colleagues.
When I’m not working I enjoy spending time with my family, watching football, golfing, fishing and being outdoors.

All experience was good.
Excellent!
I was handled in the most optimal way I could expect.
Excellent physician. Very fortunate to have him as my provider.
Very good.
Second best buddy. Saved my life and limbs. What can I say ?
He is always willing to let me ask any questions I have and answers each one so that we can understand. My son will then explain to me if I don't understand. Would not want any other dr. - I am 84 but he treats me like age doesn't matter - He will do his best for me. He cares!
Made me feel comfortable with his care
Felt rushed
Quick
good
doctor and PA was very nice
All good
this provider was equally as bad as another physician in this office. acted the exact same way. spent 30 seconds with me and didn't examine me at all. referred me back to a previous doctor. didn't seem interested in all in what was wrong. clearly had has his mind made up before he entered the room that it is something else.
very good
All was good. I was impressed!
No bad.
Doctor took his time and explained everything.
Very good.
He wasn't happy about the test results I had prior to seeing him. He did not tell me anything about the results. Wanted me to get an Ultrasound that same day. Was gone from the treatment room in less than 5 minutes. I had no chance to ask him any questions that concerned me.
Excellent.
