What Sets Premier Vascular Apart

Complete Care Under One Roof

Other specialists may only be able to offer a single approach — like medications, or catheter- based procedures — but our vascular surgeons can provide every option available:

  • Medical management
  • Minimally invasive endovascular treatments
  • Open surgical interventions when necessary

This ensures you get the right treatment for your condition, not just the one treatment your provider happens to perform.

We are regional leaders in limb salvage — helping patients avoid unnecessary amputations. Many patients are referred to us after being told they have “no options left.” With advanced procedures to restore blood flow, we save limbs and improve quality of life.

Every Premier Vascular surgeon has completed years of specialized training beyond general surgery and passed rigorous national certification exams. This means you’re cared for by physicians with the highest level of vascular expertise recognized in medicine.

We live here. We raise our families here. We’re not a fly-in/fly-out group or a large hospital system where you’re just a number. We are part of the Central Georgia community, and we are committed to treating our patients like neighbors, not cases.

Primary care doctors, cardiologists, and even interventionalists routinely send patients to us when cases are too complex or when complications arise. Simply put:

We are the doctors other doctors call when they’ve reached the limits of their capabilities.

FAQs: Why Choose a Vascular Surgeon?

No. In fact, many of our patients never need surgery. Because we’re trained in the full spectrum of care, we recommend the least invasive and most effective option for each patient — from medication to lifestyle guidance to minimally invasive procedures.

They can often do part of what we do — but not all of it. Cardiologists focus primarily on the heart, and interventional radiologists specialize in imaging-based procedures. Vascular surgeons, by contrast, are trained to manage every aspect of vascular disease: arteries, veins, circulation, prevention, intervention, and long-term follow-up.

Board certification confirms that a surgeon has passed national standards of knowledge and skill. Fellowship training means our surgeons spent years beyond general surgery focusing exclusively on vascular surgery. Together, this ensures the highest level of expertise and safety for our patients.

We’re not just your vascular specialists. We’re your neighbors, your community physicians, and your partners in health.
