About PVA

Founded in 1975, Peripheral Vascular Associates (PVA) is the largest single specialty vascular groups in Texas. Our team of physicians, medical providers, staff, and administrators all work together to ensure that we provide the best vascular care for every patient, every day. We are committed to providing complete and comprehensive state of the art care to the residents of San Antonio and South Texas. Our mission is to continually work with our physician colleagues in the management of any vascular problem, to provide education to the community about the risk factors associated with peripheral arterial disease (PAD), and to maintain our position as the leader in vascular care.

Our Physicians

A Vascular surgeon is not merely a subspecialist who occasionally performs procedures on the legs. Every physician at PVA has completed a full 5 year general surgery residency followed by a fellowship totally dedicated to vascular surgery. There are less than 3000 Vascular Surgeons practicing in the United States (less than 0.4% of all physicians). Vascular surgeons are the only doctors in The United States specifically trained to provide a full range of treatment options associated with peripheral arterial disease (PAD). These treatment options include medical management, exercise therapy, minimally invasive endovascular therapy using balloons and stents, and traditional open surgical procedures. Your treatment plan will be designed specifically for your symptoms with the assurance of the best outcome for your condition. With 20 physicians and dozens of convenient clinic locations located throughout South Texas, appointments and procedures can be scheduled with a minimal delay, often within 24 hours.
