A team of nationally recognized vascular surgeons from JVC lead in the practice and development of advanced surgical techniques. Areas of special focus include endovascular surgery and angioplasty, arterial bypass for limb salvage, carotid surgery for stroke prevention, venous thrombosis and wound care management.

As vascular surgeons at JVC, Drs. Comerota, Whalen, Pigott, Seiwert, Dosick, and Gale practice in one of the nation's largest and most advanced vascular centers. These surgeons also conduct research to develop improved methods of treating vascular conditions and are active in educational programs nationally.
