Compare 209 vascular surgeons in Table Mesa, Boulder. Check ratings, insurance, and availability.
The first visit includes a vascular exam (checking pulses, blood pressure in legs, skin condition) and a review of your imaging (ultrasound, CT angiography). The surgeon will explain the condition, its severity, and whether intervention is recommended. Many vascular conditions can be monitored initially, with surgery or endovascular treatment reserved for when the condition progresses or causes significant symptoms.
Many Boulder primary care providers offer longer appointment times than the national average. If you are coming from a larger city, you may notice a more conversational style of care. Bring any records from previous providers, since practices here often coordinate through fax rather than shared EHR systems.
See a vascular surgeon for peripheral artery disease (leg pain with walking, non-healing wounds), aortic aneurysms, carotid artery narrowing (stroke prevention), varicose veins causing symptoms, blood clots in deep veins, creation or maintenance of dialysis access (fistulas, grafts), and wounds on the legs or feet that will not heal due to poor circulation.
Consultation copay: $30-75 · Varicose vein ablation: $3,000-7,000 · Aortic aneurysm repair: $30,000-100,000+ · Carotid endarterectomy: $15,000-40,000
Vascular surgery consultations and procedures are covered under medical insurance when medically indicated. Varicose vein treatment is covered when symptoms are documented (not for cosmetic-only complaints). Prior authorization is required for most vascular procedures. Verify that both the surgeon and the facility are in-network, especially for endovascular procedures done in hospital catheterization labs.
