As part of a multidisciplinary team of vascular specialists, we are able to provide the optimal medical, surgical, endovascular, or radiologic therapy to best care for you. Rooted in a rich tradition of both academic and clinical excellence, our vascular surgeons treat a full range of non-cardiac vascular disorders, conditions that involve the arteries and veins outside of the heart.
Treatments involve proven state-of-the-art therapies, leading-edge minimally invasive intervention and, when appropriate, exciting new clinical trials to treat such conditions as peripheral arterial disease, carotid artery disease, varicose veins, blood clots and much more.
The skill and experience of our vascular surgeons at the University of Colorado Hospital will make all the difference to your treatment.

Convenient Outpatient Care
CU's newest Vascular office in Aurora is what's known in the medical field as an OBL, or "office-based lab."
What this means for you, our patients, is that you can get vascular care without setting foot inside the hospital. No complicated parking or getting lost in the halls—instead, just park right outside the office, walk in the front door, and see your doctor in a simple, comfortable environment.
The OBL treats a wide variety of conditions, including varicose veins, spider veins, and Peripheral Artery Disease. With state-of-the-art treatments and best in their field practitioners, come see us—because We CU.
We also have offices on-campus at Anschutz Medical Center, Highlands Ranch Hospital, and Cherry Creek Medical Center.
