I AM A VASCULAR SURGEON, ENDOVASCULAR SPECIALIST, AND VEIN SPECIALIST ("PHLEBOLOGIST") — with a busy private practice, "First Choice Vascular," in Ahmedabad, India.
Many know me through the Vascular Society of India (Past President) and the Venous Association of India (Founding President).
I was privileged to do Fellowships at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas; the Hope Heart Institute in Seattle, Washington; and the Thrombosis Research Institute in London. Two of the world's greatest cardiovascular surgeons, Dr. Michael DeBakey and Dr. Lester Sauvage, were my hands-on teachers.
I am a reviewer for the European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, Phlebology, Vein and Lymphatics, Indian Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery.
In the past few years, I have spent time at two of America's leading vein clinics and have become a "pioneer" of Ultrasound-Guided Foam Sclerotherapy in India.
Every year, I attend workshops and conferences in the USA, Western and Eastern Europe, Asia and India so I can be at the world's leading-edge of vascular surgery, endovascular intervention, and phlebology.
I enjoy giving presentations at vascular and phlebology conferences worldwide.
