Teaching has always been more than a role for me — it’s been a calling.

For over a decade, I had the privilege of training countless residents and fellows at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. That experience shaped not only the physicians I worked with, but also the physician I’ve become.

Even now, I continue to teach Penn Medicine residents through virtual lectures while building something new here in Dublin, OH — my own practice, 360 Vascular Institute.

What’s been most rewarding lately is mentoring the next generation of doctors through a new partnership with the Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine. These medical students are stepping into the clinic with fresh eyes, eager to learn about vascular disease and the future of minimally invasive care. But more importantly, they’re discovering the power of listening, connection, and trust which is the foundation of every strong physician-patient relationship.

Education doesn’t stop at graduation. And it doesn’t belong only in academic halls. Often, the most impactful lessons happen in the exam room, during a procedure, or while simply taking the time to explain something that truly matters.

This is how we shape the future of medicine.

🚨 PAD and CVI: The Overlap That’s Costing Patients Their Legs

Most people — and even many vascular specialists—don’t realize that arterial and venous disease often occur together. I've seen it every day in my career, and it’s the reason I coined the term VAM Disease (Venous and Arterial Mixed Disease).

The problem? Venous disease (CVI) gets ignored. It's not flashy. It’s often misunderstood. But it causes real harm—leg swelling, wounds that won’t heal, and pain that’s written off as “just aging.”

At 360 Vascular Institute, we take a truly comprehensive approach to vascular care:
🔎 We look for both PAD and CVI — because we treat both
🩻 We use advanced diagnostics to uncover what others miss
💉 We offer outpatient, image-guided treatments that change lives

This week, I had the chance to explain VAM Disease on NBC4's Daytime Columbus. I hope it starts a bigger conversation in vascular medicine.

🎉 MEET DORIS — TURNING 100 AND STILL INSPIRING US ALL!

This remarkable woman beside me is Doris. At 99 years young, she’s preparing to celebrate her 100th birthday later this month. I had the privilege of seeing her here at 360 Vascular Institute in Dublin, Ohio.

Doris is the perfect example of someone who embraces life with gratitude, positivity, and unwavering strength. Despite facing peripheral vascular disease and a recent pulmonary embolism, she hasn’t let anything slow her down. On supplemental oxygen, she still walks a couple of miles every day, keeping her body active and her mind sharp.

What truly amazes me is Doris’s independence and determination. She puts on her own compression stockings every single day. At 99 years old! To all my patients and friends who say, “they’re too hard to put on” -- Doris is living proof that you CAN do it with patience and persistence. 💪

Doris embodies the spirit of:
💙 Gratefulness for life’s blessings — especially a sharp mind.
💙 Going with the flow and seeing the positive in every moment.
💙 Commitment to vascular health and staying active.

She has invited me to celebrate her 100th birthday. Please join me in wishing Doris a very happy birthday! Let’s fill this post with warm wishes and love from near and far. 🌍🎂

Inspired by Doris? Drop a message below, share her story, and help us honor a truly remarkable woman.

Wrapping up Revenue Cycle Integrity Week with the unstoppable 360 Vascular Dream Team! 💥

Huge shoutout to Jennifer, our fearless Revenue Cycle Management Queen, and Misty, our Billing Ninja — the behind-the-scenes warriors making sure our patients get the vascular care they need and deserve. These two spend hours on hold with insurance companies, only to get hung up on, given the runaround, or told our patients aren’t covered.

But they don’t give up — because they believe in the work we do and the life-changing care we provide to patients across the globe. Their grit and dedication are unmatched.

Also missing from this photo but always part of the magic: Priscilla, our incredible patient care coordinator. Your compassion and coordination make such a difference every day!

So proud to work alongside this team. They fight hard — not just for revenue, but for people.

About to board a flight to New Orleans to speak at New Cardiovascular Horizons - NCVH, and I was reminded by a colleague of an important message that I wanted to pass on:

Don’t forget your compression stockings!

We can’t escape death, taxes — or gravity. Venous blood is constantly fighting to flow up toward the heart, while gravity pulls it down. When vein valves weaken or fail (thanks to genetics, weight, pregnancy, or prolonged sitting/standing), chronic venous disease sets in — affecting up to 90% of people over a lifetime.

Left untreated, venous disease increases the risk of DVT (blood clots) — especially during long flights. So if you're traveling, or even on your feet all day, those 20-30 mmHg compression stockings aren’t just a good idea — they’re essential.
Support your veins. Prevent DVT. Prioritize vascular health.

And yes...I do practice what I preach and wear stockings every day!

🇺🇸 Honoring Our Heroes This Memorial Day 🇺🇸

Today, we pause to honor the brave men and women who gave everything in service to our country. Their courage, sacrifice, and legacy remind us of the strength that lives on in our communities every day.

At 360 Vascular Institute, we’re especially mindful of the health challenges many veterans face long after their service — including vascular disease, which can affect mobility, quality of life, and overall wellness.

As we remember those we've lost, we also renew our commitment to support the health of those still with us. To our veterans: thank you for your service. Your strength inspires our mission.

From all of us at 360 Vascular Institute — we remember, we honor, and we serve.

Look at this transformation after only ONE MONTH!

On the left: large, gnarly varicose veins that were painful and impossible to ignore.

On the right: just 1 month after vein ablation — smoother, healthier legs with barely a trace left.

And it’s not just about looks...

Varicose veins can cause:
- Neuropathy
- Leg heaviness & fatigue
- Aching or burning pain
- Cramps & Charley horses
- Increased risk of dangerous blood clots (DVT)

The good news? You don’t need old-school vein stripping surgery anymore.

Our modern, minimally invasive treatments are done right in-office — no downtime, no incisions, and real results.

✅ Quick recovery
✅ Long-lasting relief
✅ Covered by most insurance plans

If your legs feel like the “before,” let’s get you to the “after.”

📞 Call or message 360 Vascular Institute today to book your consultation. Your legs (and health) will thank you.

At 360 Vascular Institute, I’ve always believed that advancing patient care starts with empowering physicians. This past week, I had the privilege of sharing that message with colleagues on two incredible stages.

At the Ohio Foot and Ankle Medical Association Annual Meeting, I gave three lectures to a passionate group of podiatrists, covering some of the most pressing vascular topics we face today:

🩺 “Treatment Challenges in Mixed Arterial and Venous Disease”
👣 “Integrated Care Between Podiatrists and Vascular Specialists”
⚠️ “Silent Threats: Vascular Secrets Every Podiatrist Should Know”

Each talk sparked meaningful conversations about collaboration, early detection, and the critical role podiatrists play in vascular health.

From there, I flew to New York City to speak at the Global Embolization Symposium and Technologies (GEST), where I addressed an international audience of physicians. My message was clear: Take back control of your practice. Don’t let hospital bureaucracy rob you of the joy that brought you to medicine in the first place.

Whether I’m in the OR, consulting with patients, or speaking to peers around the world, my mission remains the same...to improve lives and help build a stronger, more connected medical community.

As Nurses Week draws to a close, I'd like to recognize someone truly extraordinary — Nancy Ceglia, RN, our incredible Practice Administrator at 360 Vascular Institute.

Nancy has served two generations of Dr. Sudheendras — first working alongside my father, a cardiothoracic surgeon, and now with me. She has been the steady hand and guiding heart behind both of our practices, building what we proudly call the Dream Team.

She’s more than just a leader — she’s a force. A compassionate caregiver, a brilliant legal nurse consultant, and a dedicated leader of cancer hospice support groups, Nancy brings insight, empathy, and strength to everything she touches.

As Helen Keller once said: “Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.” Nancy, you’ve brought people together, lifted them up, and created something lasting.

We love you, Nancy, and we’re so grateful for all that you do!

This Nurses Week, we’re celebrating Mary and Amanda — two outstanding nurses whose compassion, clinical skill, and dedication help make 360 Vascular Institute a place where patients and families feel truly cared for.

Whether it’s easing anxiety before a procedure or keeping families informed every step of the way, they bring warmth and professionalism to everything they do.

As poet Maya Angelou said: “They may forget your name, but they will never forget how you made them feel.”

Mary and Amanda, thank you for making our patients feel safe, supported, and seen — not just this week, but every day.
