Meet Dr. Malay Patel
Advanced Vascular & Endovascular Care for Better Circulation, Limb Preservation & Vein Health
Dr. Malay Patel has been in practice as a vascular and endovascular surgeon and phlebologist since December 1991, running his private practice, First Choice Vascular, in Ahmedabad for over three decades. He is currently attached to Apollo Hospital and SVP Hospital, Ahmedabad, and previously served as Assistant Professor of Vascular Surgery (Practicing) at Sheth V.S. General Hospital and Sheth K.M. School of Post-Graduate Medicine and Research, affiliated to Gujarat University, from October 2007 to 2018.
He completed his MBBS at Gujarat University (1977–1983) and his MS at Gujarat University (1983–1986), holds Permanent Registration to practice in India under the Gujarat Medical Council, Permanent ECFMG Certification, and cleared the PLAB test of the UK’s General Medical Council in May 1987.
His leadership roles span both national and international vascular and venous societies: President of the Vascular Society of India (2003–2005), Founding President of the Venous Association of India (2007–2009), and a member of the executive committee of the International Union of Phlebology from 2013 to 2021, including terms as Vice-President and Assistant General Secretary.
Two Specialties Under One Roof: Vascular Surgery and Phlebology
Vascular disease and venous disease are often treated as separate fields, requiring separate specialists and separate visits. Dr. Malay Patel’s practice covers both directly.
Arterial and Venous Disease, Evaluated Together
Patients with both artery and vein concerns, not uncommon, since risk factors like diabetes and smoking affect both are evaluated under one practice rather than needing separate specialists for each.
Endovascular and Open Surgical Training
Practicing across catheter-based procedures and open surgery since 1991 means the treatment approach is chosen based on individual anatomy, not limited to whichever technique is available.
Minor Surgeries
Safe and precise procedures including cyst excision, lipoma removal, mole removal, wart excision, and more performed with attention to both medical and cosmetic outcomes.
Advanced Wound Care
Management of complex wounds including vacuum dressing, collagen dressing, burn care, and non-healing ulcers with a focus on faster recovery and reduced complications.
Healthy circulation is essential for every organ and every stage of life. Whether you're dealing with varicose veins, blocked arteries, diabetic foot complications, or complex vascular conditions, Dr. Malay Patel offers comprehensive diagnosis and evidence-based treatment backed by more than three decades of dedicated vascular practice. From minimally invasive endovascular procedures to advanced vascular surgery, every treatment is tailored to restore blood flow, relieve symptoms, and improve long-term vascular health.

Our Process
Clear Evaluation. Personalised Planning. Precision Treatment.
1. Consult
Your care begins with a detailed consultation where symptoms, medical history, and previous reports are carefully reviewed. Advanced imaging and clinical evaluation help identify the exact cause of the condition and determine whether an interventional approach is suitable.
2. Plan
Based on the diagnosis, a personalised treatment plan is created using evidence-based guidelines and imaging findings. The procedure, benefits, recovery expectations, and possible risks are clearly explained, ensuring informed and confident decision-making.
3. Treat
The planned intervention is performed using minimally invasive, image-guided techniques focused on precision and safety. Most procedures require only a small puncture, allowing faster recovery, minimal discomfort, and a smooth return to daily activities.

Why Patients Choose Trusted Expertise in Vascular & Endovascular Surgery
01. Findings-Led Treatment Decisions
Treatment is based on ultrasound and imaging findings specific to each patient, not on the visible appearance of a condition or a default protocol applied to everyone with the same diagnosis.
02. Minimally Invasive First, Surgery When It's the Better Choice
Minimally invasive options are used wherever the anatomy supports them, with surgical alternatives available and explained directly when they're the more appropriate or durable choice for a specific case.
03. Honest Guidance on Monitoring vs. Treatment
Where a condition can reasonably be monitored rather than treated immediately, this is communicated clearly, with a structured follow-up plan rather than an open-ended "wait and see."
04. Direct Explanation of Every Recommendation
Every treatment recommendation is walked through against your specific findings, so you understand the reasoning behind it rather than being asked to accept it on trust.

Answers to Your Most Common Questions
Which conditions do you treat?
The practice covers the full range of vascular and venous conditions – varicose veins, deep vein thrombosis, peripheral artery disease, carotid artery disease, aortic aneurysms, diabetic foot wounds, venous ulcers, vascular malformations, Buerger’s disease, and vascular access surgery for dialysis.
Is same-day evaluation available for urgent concerns?
For urgent presentations such as sudden leg swelling, sudden weakness or vision changes, or a rapidly worsening wound, please call ahead to arrange prompt evaluation, or go to the nearest emergency department if you have chest pain, breathlessness, or ongoing neurological symptoms.
How is my diagnosis actually confirmed?
Most conditions are diagnosed with duplex ultrasound, which shows blood flow directly without radiation. Some conditions, such as aortic aneurysms or complex artery blockages, require CT or MR angiography for detailed planning.
Will I need surgery?
This depends entirely on your specific condition and findings. Many vascular and venous conditions today are managed with minimally invasive procedures or medication rather than open surgery. This is assessed and explained specifically for your case.
What should I bring to my first visit?
Any previous scan reports or blood tests relevant to your condition, a list of current medications, and clothing that allows the affected area to be examined comfortably.
