Does your stomach beat like a heart? That isn't normal.

It could be the only warning sign you get for an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA). These grow silently and often have zero symptoms—until they burst.

The "Silent Killer" Screening Checklist: 📋
If you match this profile, you need an ultrasound now:

✅ Age: Male & over 65
✅ History: Smoker (Past or Present)
✅ Genetics: Family history of aneurysms

One painless ultrasound can literally save you from a disaster.

Hills I will die on as a Vascular Surgeon:

1. Spider veins are not just "cosmetic." They are often the tip of the iceberg for underlying disease. Treating the surface without checking the "feeder" veins is negligence.

2. Compression socks are a tool, not a cure. They manage symptoms; they do not fix broken valves. You cannot "sock" your way out of venous reflux.

3. "Restless legs" are rarely a mystery. 80% of the time, it’s not magnesium deficiency—it’s vein disease. Stop eating bananas and get an ultrasound.

4. Leg pain is NOT a normal part of aging. If your doctor tells you "you're just getting older," find a new doctor.

5. Supplements do not close veins. No pill, tea, or cream can repair a mechanical valve failure. Anyone selling you one is lying.

For my PAD patients, exercise isn't a "resolution." It is a prescription. 📝

The medical data is clear: 30–60 minutes, 4x a week.

This specific dose is clinically proven to improve circulation and outcomes for Peripheral Arterial Disease. So whether you call it a New Year's goal or a medical necessity—let’s make 2026 the year we actually move.

Open surgery commands respect. 🏥

Unlike my minimally invasive cases, open procedures (like Carotid Endarterectomies or Leg Bypasses) require a brief ICU stay.

We monitor you overnight not because things went wrong, but to ensure everything stays right. Once pain is managed and Physical Therapy gives the green light, most patients head home in 2–3 days.

If you had to choose: A longer recovery for a potentially more durable fix, or a quick recovery with a higher chance of re-intervention? 👇

Thanks to percutaneous (pinhole) techniques, the majority of my procedures—like Dialysis Access and Angiograms—are same-day discharges.

Even for complex clot removals in the legs or lungs (Thrombectomy), you are usually home within 24–48 hours. Modern vascular surgery is about maximum results with minimal interruption to your life.

What’s your biggest fear about surgery? Pain or the time off? Tell me below. 👇

I’d rather lose a patient than lie to one. 🩺

In the world of aesthetic and vein procedures, it’s easy to get sold on "instant results" and "forever cures."

But as a Surgeon, my loyalty is to your health, not a sales quota.

👇 Which one of these "truths" surprised you the most?

“The obsessed are the industry builders, disrupters, titans, game changers, and living legends others admire and wish to emulate. The obsessed don’t just make the world go around. They make the world worth living in.” — Grant Cardone

It starts in the leg... but it ends in the lungs. 🫁

A Pulmonary Embolism (PE) is one of the most dangerous medical emergencies we treat. It happens when a clot travels from the legs (DVT) and lodges in the pulmonary arteries, blocking oxygen flow and straining the heart.

The scary part? The symptoms—shortness of breath, chest pain, racing heart—often happen suddenly.

"Surgery" doesn't always mean "bed rest." 🏃‍♀️

The #1 hesitation I hear from patients? "I can't afford the downtime."

Here is the reality: Modern vein treatments are minimally invasive. Most of my patients walk out of the clinic the same day and resume their normal lives immediately. No hospital stay, no long recovery.

What’s the one thing stopping you from getting your veins checked? Let me know below. 👇

This is what a "ticking time bomb" looks like. 💣

This isn't just plaque. This is debris, calcium, and "sludge" that was breaking loose and traveling directly to her brain.

She experienced a TIA (mini-stroke)—nature's final warning shot. We listened to it and performed a Carotid Endarterectomy to physically remove this hazard before it could cause permanent damage.

Do you know the F.A.S.T. signs of a stroke? Quiz yourself below. 👇

Happy New Year to my patients, colleagues, and community. 🥂

I hope 2026 brings you health, happiness, and the courage to finally prioritize yourself.

Now, let’s keep it real. 🚫

We spend so much time making resolutions about how we want to look, but we ignore the actual engine that allows us to move.

I built this list because I see too many patients wait until 2027 to treat a problem that started in 2015.

The biggest thing to leave behind? The "Guilt." Don't feel guilty for prioritizing your pain. Don't feel guilty for asking for a second opinion. Don't feel guilty for wanting your legs to look and feel better.

Vascular health isn't vanity. It's vitality.

Wishing you a year of strong steps and zero pain. Let’s get to work.

📌 Save this list as a reminder when that "old ache" comes back next week.

👇 Which number on the "Leave" list are you most guilty of? Tell me below.

Varicose veins- not just a cosmetic issue. Venous insufficiency can run in families and cause debilitating lifestyle limitations if unrecognized or untreated.
