At 360 Vascular Institute, we spend a lot of time educating patients about vascular disease, treatment options, and overall health.

But one thing we’ve also learned is that healthcare finances and insurance terminology can be incredibly confusing for patients and families. Truthfully, even physicians sometimes struggle to understand all of it.

What exactly is a deductible?
How is that different from a copay or coinsurance?
What does “out-of-pocket maximum” really mean?

That’s why we created a simple Financial Glossary on our website to help explain common healthcare and insurance terms in plain language.

We hope this resource not only helps you when visiting our office, but also helps you better navigate healthcare at other medical practices as well.

You can view the glossary here:

An informed patient is an empowered patient.

Just returned from a great weekend in New York City speaking at the Global Embolization Symposium & Technologies (GEST) meeting. I shared my experiences building an independent vascular practice and discussed why more physicians are choosing to leave corporate medicine to create more personalized, patient-focused care. I also had the opportunity to learn from and collaborate with other leaders from around the country on embolization and other complex vascular procedures.

While many know me for treating advanced vascular disease, I’m also passionate about helping physicians rethink how healthcare is delivered.

I truly believe medicine works best when physicians are allowed to focus on patients — not quotas, corporate pressures, or rushing through 30 patients a day.

For those of you who have visited 360 Vascular Institute, you’ve seen this philosophy firsthand. We built our practice around personalized care, education, accessibility, and long-term relationships with patients and families.

Grateful for the opportunity to continue learning, teaching, and bringing those experiences back home to Ohio.

One of the most commonly overlooked causes of knee pain I see at 360 Vascular Institute:

Knee pain that isn’t coming from the knee.

When symptoms are brought on by walking, improve with rest, and don’t respond to typical orthopedic care, the underlying issue is often vascular — not structural.

But even when the joint is involved, the explanation is often incomplete.

Osteoarthritis (OA) isn’t just “bone on bone.”

In many cases, OA pain is driven by inflammation and abnormal blood vessels within the knee joint lining.

If we focus only on cartilage loss, we miss an important driver of symptoms.

I touched on these ideas in a recent CityScene Magazine article:

If you’re dealing with knee pain that hasn’t improved or hasn’t been clearly explained, it may be worth evaluating whether the source is vascular rather than purely joint-related.

I had the pleasure of joining the Backtable Vascular & Interventional podcast to discuss one of the most misunderstood areas in women's and men's health: pelvic venous disease.

In this episode, I share my clinical approach to differentiating iliac vein compression syndrome, gonadal vein reflux, and Nutcracker syndrome, along with practical treatment strategies including iliac vein stenting and gonadal vein embolization.

At 360 Vascular Institute, my practice extends far beyond treating pelvic venous disease. My team cares for patients across the full spectrum of vascular disease, including peripheral arterial disease (PAD), acute and chronic DVT, venous compression syndromes, nonhealing leg ulcers, and other complex arterial and venous conditions.

My mission has always been to simplify vascular disease and help both patients and physicians better understand the right path forward.

I hope this conversation is helpful for you or maybe a loved one in your family.

Are you still having symptoms after a blood clot?

Leg swelling and pain after DVT may be post thrombotic syndrome, and it can be treated.

Quick explanation in this video.

Most people think blood clots only happen in veins.

That’s only half the story.

I appreciate the opportunity to collaborate with Hemostasis Today in sharing this recent case that I posted about last week.

It’s a good reminder that even in vascular medicine, the diagnosis is often in the history — not just the imaging.

Always learning from cases like this.

Experience Matters When Diagnosing Vascular Disease

A patient was recently referred to 360 Vascular Institute for peripheral artery disease because of a mottled rash on his legs. This pattern is known as Livedo reticularis and can sometimes be associated with vascular conditions.

But after a careful evaluation and a detailed review of his recent medical history following a Traumatic Brain Injury, we discovered the cause wasn’t blocked arteries at all.

It turned out to be a medication side effect.

Cases like this are a great reminder that experience matters. The best vascular care isn’t just about performing procedures — it’s about asking the right questions, carefully evaluating each patient, and getting to the root cause of the problem.

That’s the approach we take every day at 360 Vascular Institute.

POTS is a complex condition with diverse symptoms and no single diagnostic test. In this article, I discuss what POTS is, the different types, how veins may be involved, and why careful evaluation is essential before considering iliac vein stenting.

Education and thoughtful decision-making matter.

Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) is a complex condition with many possible causes. Learn what POTS is, the different types, how veins may be involved, and why caution is needed before considering vein stents.
