Vascular Surgery involves the surgical and medical (non-operative) treatments of various disorders of the arteries, veins and lymphatic vessels. We emphasize the fact that many disorders are managed appropriately without surgery. Dr Kirksey is Board Certified and Fellowship trained in the field of Vascular Surgery. That means that he has undergone two additional years of training (additional to the initial five years of training for General Surgery) in this field and has taken and passed a series of examinations that certify his ability to manage patients with these complex disorders.
Vascular Surgery is a very broad spectrum of disorders. This section of our website has been organized to provide an overview of the most common disorders involving the non-cardiac blood vessels. Please use this educational tool as an introduction to vascular disorders. Of course, each patient is quite different and every patient is managed on an individual basis after a thorough assessment. This section does provide a valuable source of informational references. Finally, we encourage you to send our website to a friend or family member and by all means, please contact us with questions concerning Vascular Disease.
