Physician - Vascular Surgeon (3161)

Physician - Vascular Surgeon

Join an established outpatient vascular practice and help advance limb preservation in East Tennessee.

APEX Cardiovascular Group, part of US Heart and Vascular, is seeking a Board-Certified or Board-Eligible Vascular Surgeon to join its growing Knoxville practice. The incoming physician will step into an established, high-volume outpatient vascular program with a fully operational ambulatory surgery center, advanced imaging capabilities, and an experienced clinical team already in place.

This opportunity is well suited for a vascular surgeon who wants to practice at the forefront of outpatient vascular care while maintaining the ability to provide comprehensive surgical management. The practice has a strong regional referral network, close working relationships with local wound care centers, and a longstanding commitment to limb preservation and timely access to care.

The clinical scope may include:

• Diagnostic angiography and endovascular interventions
• Peripheral arterial stenting, drug-eluting stent placement, and atherectomy
• Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-guided assessment and treatment
• Mechanical and aspiration thrombectomy
• Lower-extremity revascularization focused on limb preservation and prevention of amputation
• Dialysis access evaluation and intervention, including fistula and graft procedures
• Venous procedures and comprehensive treatment of chronic venous disease
• Embolization procedures, including genicular artery embolization (GAE) and PFE
• Peripheral nerve stimulator procedures for appropriately selected patients
• Open vascular surgery, including carotid, aneurysm, and dialysis access procedures, based on the physician's experience and clinical interests

Limb preservation is a central focus of the practice. The vascular team works closely with wound care centers throughout the Knoxville region to expedite evaluation, restore blood flow, coordinate follow-up, and reduce avoidable amputations. The incoming surgeon will have the opportunity to further develop these relationships and help expand a coordinated, multidisciplinary limb-preservation program across East Tennessee.

Qualifications include:

• Board Certified or Board Eligible in Vascular Surgery
• Completion of an ACGME-accredited Vascular Surgery fellowship or integrated residency
• Eligible for medical licensure in Tennessee
• Commitment to high-quality, patient-centered vascular care
• Interest in advanced outpatient intervention and limb preservation

Knoxville offers an exceptional quality of life with welcoming communities, highly regarded schools, a growing healthcare market, and easy access to the University of Tennessee, lakes, golf, the Great Smoky Mountains, and year-round outdoor recreation. The region continues to attract physicians and families seeking a strong professional opportunity with an affordable and enjoyable place to live.
