A specialist vascular team on every case, with no generalists and no outsourcing
Direct coordination with Stafford-area physicians for continuity of care
Plain explanations at each stage, so you stay in control of your treatment
Prime Vascular Care diagnoses and treats a wide spectrum of vein and artery conditions, from common venous issues to complex arterial disorders that may require surgery. Each condition is evaluated using advanced vascular imaging and managed by a board-certified vascular surgeon who focuses exclusively on vascular care.
Many patients reach us after months of being told to keep an eye on it, without anyone explaining what is actually happening inside their veins and arteries. We start the other way around. Before any treatment is discussed, every patient has a duplex ultrasound performed in our clinic. It gives the surgeon a precise, real-time view of how your blood is flowing, where valves are failing, and where arteries are narrowed, detail a physical exam alone cannot provide.
That means you finish your first visit with findings you can see and a plan based on them.
Maps the affected vessels so nothing is overlooked
Identifies venous reflux and valve dysfunction before anything is recommended
Ties every treatment decision back to what the scan actually shows
Non-invasive, with no needles and no discomfort
We provide specialized vascular care with individualized treatment plans designed to support your vascular health at every stage.
Varicose veins are rarely just cosmetic. They cause the aching, heaviness, and swelling that wear on you by the end of the day. Our varicose vein surgeons identifies which veins have stopped working and why, then treats the underlying reflux using minimally invasive techniques. Procedures are done in-office, with no hospital stay and most patients back to normal activity within a day or two. The goal is both relief now and fewer vein problems later.
Treats the underlying cause, not just the visible vein
Minimally invasive, with no hospital stay
Eases swelling, aching, and heaviness
Built around long-term vein health
PAD is often missed because its early signs, leg cramping while walking, fatigue, and wounds that are slow to heal, get blamed on other things. Left alone, reduced blood flow can progress to limb-threatening ischemia. Our surgeon has years of experience restoring circulation through both medical management and minimally invasive procedures, so symptoms ease and your limb stays protected. Catching PAD early keeps you active and keeps more treatment options open.

For patients on hemodialysis, reliable access is what keeps treatment safe and on schedule. Our vascular doctor places and maintains AV fistulas and grafts for Stafford dialysis patients, and manages the problems that interrupt treatment, including narrowing, clotting, and poor flow. We work directly with your nephrologist and dialysis team so your care stays seamless and your sessions stay effective.

Early management of narrowing, clotting, and poor flow
Fewer interruptions and complications

A DVT diagnosis needs prompt attention. A clot in the deep veins of the leg can become dangerous if it is not managed quickly and carefully. Our surgeon assesses the size and location of the clot, selects the safest treatment, and monitors your recovery closely to lower the risk of it returning and to help prevent post-thrombotic syndrome. You also get clear guidance on follow-up care and the habits that protect your veins going forward.
Prompt evaluation to head off complications
A plan matched to the size and location of the clot
Close monitoring to reduce the chance of recurrence
Follow-up guidance for lasting vein health
