A rare founding opportunity in Vascular Surgery has opened in Tucson, Arizona, within one of Southern Arizona's largest multi-specialty groups — more than 100 providers — anchored by an established cardiology platform that includes interventional cardiovascular, electrophysiology, and advanced heart valve disease specialists. The incoming vascular surgeon will build and lead a new vascular surgery service line from the ground up, supported by a state-of-the-art hybrid OR, a newly constructed vascular surgery suite, and a referral infrastructure that is already in place and producing.
