Vascular surgery is a surgical subspecialty in which diseases of the vascular system, or arteries, veins and lymphatic circulation, are managed by medical therapy, minimally-invasive catheter procedures, and surgical reconstruction. A vascular surgeon diagnoses, treats, and manages conditions in the arteries and veins, also called the blood vessels. These specialists treat a range of health problems, from spider and varicose veins to life-threatening aneurysms, and can help patients manage chronic conditions throughout their lives.
Throughout her career, Dr. Halpern has worked to further the field of vascular surgery and has published her work in prestigious medical journals, including The Journal of Vascular Surgery. She attributes her success to her experiences, hard work, and the examples set by her parents, both of whom were physicians.
