I am Board Certified in Vascular Surgery and certified as a Registered Physician in Vascular Imaging (reading Vascular disease ultrasounds), I no longer use my Board Certification in General Surgery ( as I am a full time vascular disease surgeon) but continue to use years of this knowledge as Medical Director of local Wound Care Clinic.

I am a Fellow of the American College of Osteopathic Surgeons, participate in resident and fellow education and Vascular Surgery board certification oral exams, and have published case studies. I have presented many lectures at national and local medical organizations. I took off a year of medical school to participate in a one-year Pathology Fellowship and volunteered several years as a medical student at a Free Health Clinic.

Member of the Association of Healthcare Journalists.

I am a student of patient and peer world views, medical economics and strive for patient choice.

Any interpretation of lecture facts can be my opinion and may be mine alone but that interpretation is evidenced based and data driven
