Vascular care and surgery can be stressful for patients — but I’m careful to help them slow down and reduce anxiety through clear communication. I always take the time to explain my patients’ conditions. We thoroughly discuss each step in their care so they can regain their sense of control. When patients know what to expect, their worries decrease. Moreover, their motivation to take care of themselves and others increases.

Empowered patients have the information and drive to manage their conditions and avoid other potential future conditions. Watching them achieve that is a wonderful reward for a day’s work.
