Dr. Faber is trained to perform procedures to treat problems in the arteries and veins.  These procedures include performing grafts to relieve peripheral vascular blockages, relieving blockages in the carotid arteries in the neck, providing access for hemodialysis in patients with kidney failure, repairing abdominal aneurysms, varicose vein surgery, and wound care.

Hypertension (high blood pressure) and diabetes are two common diseases in our area.  Combine that with the high number of cigarette smokers and you have the perfect brew for a higher than usual incidence of peripheral vascular disease.  Cholesterol plaques block the flow of blood toward the feet causing pain when walking.

Only you and your surgeon can determine if vascular surgery or treatment is appropriate for you.  Before any surgery or treatment, Dr. Faber will conduct a thorough examination and discuss with you in detail your condition and appropriate treatment options.
