Leon Josephs, M.D. is the Director of the Vascular Surgery Department at Saint Vincent Hospital.

His team includes three full-time, board certified, highly trained vascular surgeons.   Dr. Josephs says his department "has great access to new technologies which allows them to stay on the cutting edge -- including laser technology to treat veins and endovascular technologies to treat aneurysms.  Most importantly he feels they are very focused on evidence-based medicine based on medical literature and best practice modalities which allows great continuity and consistency in their practice, which ultimately benefits the patient."
