PROFESSIONALS
We are a vascular surgery-based practice dedicated to serving two primary patient populations:
-
individuals in need of dialysis access, and
-
individuals - particularly those with renal failure - experiencing advanced lower extremity vascular disease.
​
As one of the few Comprehensive Dialysis Access Centers in the world, we provide a full continuum of care in a longitudinal, patient-centered environment. Our services include access creation, ongoing maintenance, advanced diagnostics, and complex problem-solving, all delivered with a commitment to improving outcomes and quality of life.
FLOW COMPREHENSIVE DIALYSIS ACCESS CENTER (CDAC)
Our primary mission is to care for those needing any form of dialysis. We are one of the busiest access providers in the world, and have pioneered the CDAC concept, which incorporates:
​
-
Comprehensive, multidisciplinary, multimodal care of all types of access
-
Access creation, maintenance, and complex problem solving
-
Same day service and zone defense
-
Longitudinal care of our patients
-
Education, scholarship, and research
​
FLOW LIMB SALVAGE CENTER (LSC)
Our secondary, but equally critical mission is to care for the legs of those on dialysis. While vascular surgeons as a group have always cared deeply about this, patients with renal failure often fall through the cracks. We seek out these problems, and care for affected patients using both endovascular and conventional surgical techniques. We also partner with our hospital's Wound Care Center, which offers aggressive, state-of-the art care for all types of wounds.
