Vascular conditions affect the veins and arteries in one’s body, which conduct oxygen to every living cell. Think of veins and arteries as expressways or rivers. When there are traffic jams or road construction, or when dams break, trouble ensues. But in most cases, vascular conditions are highly treatable, often without surgery. It is important to see a vascular surgeon, even when surgery is not needed. Vascular surgeons specialize in treatments of every kind of vascular problem except those of the heart (treated by cardiovascular surgeons) and the brain (treated by neurosurgeons). A common condition such as atherosclerosis may show up in the legs, for example, but affects the whole body. Vascular surgeons will talk to their patients about how exercise, diet and medication can be the first step in regaining their health. When surgery is needed, vascular surgeons are trained in all types of interventions, not just one or two.
Dr. Halpern ensures that her patients are offered the best possible treatment with the best possible care in her current practice. She attributes her success to her hard work and the examples set by her parents, both of whom were physicians.
