Getting a Referral from Your Primary Care Doctor

If you are living daily life with a vascular condition, your primary care doctor will likely refer you to a vascular surgeon. He or she will have a firm understanding of the struggles you face every day and will be able to recommend trusted vascular doctors and medical professionals to provide you with a higher, more specialized level of care. Getting a referral from your primary care doctor is a good way to start your search for a surgeon.

If your primary care physician is unable to recommend a vascular specialist to you, it’s still important to inquire and get opinions from others.
