The paths to your heart are in experienced, capable hands.


Quality vascular care runs in our veins

The paths to your heart are in experienced, capable hands.

The average adult body contains more than 100,000 miles of blood vessels. Vascular treatments require surgeons to work with a multidisciplinary team that includes cardiac surgery, dialysis and subspecialists such as nephrologists and cardiologists.

Our collaborative approach makes us uniquely suited to handle any challenge that might arise.

Although we’re rich in surgical expertise, we treat the majority of conditions non-operatively. From diagnosis to minimally invasive procedures to traditional surgeries and long-term follow-up care, our team has more vascular service experience than any other hospital in Central New York.
