Vascular Surgery in Milwaukee, Mequon, Glendale, Cudahy, Germantown, Saukville and Waukesha
Blocked arteries, weak vein valves, and clots don't always announce themselves until they cause real damage. Madison Medical's vascular surgeons diagnose and treat conditions that affect your blood flow, from varicose veins to serious arterial blockages. We serve patients across Milwaukee, Mequon, Glendale, Cudahy, Germantown, Saukville, and Waukesha.
What Vascular Surgery Treats
Vascular surgery addresses conditions that affect your blood vessels, including arteries, veins, and the lymphatic system. This covers blockages that restrict blood flow to your limbs or organs, weakened vessel walls that put you at risk for aneurysm, damaged vein valves that cause varicose veins, and clots that can become dangerous if left untreated. Left unaddressed, many of these conditions get worse over time, which is why early evaluation matters.
Common Vascular Surgery Procedures
- Varicose vein treatment for damaged vein valves causing swelling, pain, and visible enlarged veins
- Treatment for arterial blockages and narrowing, including peripheral artery disease
- Vascular reconstruction to restore blood flow after damage or blockage
- Aneurysm repair to address weakened or bulging blood vessel walls
- Treatment for blood clots and related complications
- Diagnostic vascular evaluations using imaging to assess blood flow

Both surgeons bring focused experience treating circulatory conditions, from straightforward varicose vein cases to complex arterial reconstructions.
What You Can Expect
Your first visit focuses on understanding your symptoms and your risk factors. Your surgeon may order imaging, such as an ultrasound, to get a clear picture of your blood flow and identify exactly where the problem lies. From there, your surgeon explains your treatment options, which range from minimally invasive procedures to more involved surgical repair, depending on the severity of your condition.
Many vascular procedures are performed on an outpatient basis, allowing you to go home the same day. Your team gives you clear recovery instructions and schedules follow-up visits to confirm that blood flow has improved and stayed improved.
Why Patients Choose Madison Medical for Vascular Surgery
Vascular conditions often get worse without treatment, so catching them early matters. Our surgeons use advanced imaging to pinpoint the exact source of your symptoms before recommending a procedure, rather than guessing. We favor minimally invasive techniques whenever your condition allows it, reducing your recovery time and discomfort. And because untreated vascular issues can lead to serious complications, including limb loss in severe cases, our team takes these symptoms seriously from your very first appointment.
Risk factors for vascular disease include smoking, diabetes, high blood pressure, and a family history of circulatory problems. If you fall into one of these groups, regular vascular screening can catch problems before they become emergencies. Our team can talk through your individual risk factors and recommend a screening schedule that fits your health history.
