When choosing a vascular surgeon, there are several key factors that patients should consider. He/she should look for a vascular surgeon who is MOH-accredited and has extensive experience performing the specific procedure he/she may require. The patients can ask about the surgeon’s training, the number of procedures they perform annually, and their track record of successful outcomes.
Patients may also wish to choose a vascular surgeon who has good communication, who takes the time to listen to the concerns of the patient, and can explain the procedure and risks in a way the patient can understand. Most importantly, patients should choose a vascular surgeon with whom they have a good rapport with and trust in.
