About

Well traveled with respect to medical education, I have spent time in four provinces obtaining my medical education and post-graduate training. This has allowed a broad knowledge of the approach to medical education in the various jurisdictions. The most recent post-graduate program was in Winnipeg, MB for vascular surgery. This preceded the endo-vascular era in vascular surgery. My experience in the endovascular realm has been through the undertaking of endovascular repair of aortic diseased in both the thoracic and abdominal regions.  This was on a case by case basis, and with the assistance of proctor physicians.

My present interests are the endovascular repair of thoracic and abdominal aortic diseases, and thoracic outlet syndrome.  In addition, thromboembolic disorders of the major central veins, of the upper and lower extremities also interests me.
