Procedure information shows how often this clinician performed the medical procedure(s) in the last 12 months for patients with Medicare. These are based on the number of times a clinician billed the medical procedure(s) to Original Medicare and Medicare Advantage.

Note: This information may not reflect all procedure types, or the total number of procedures performed by this clinician. These aren't the only indicators of quality of care.

Percentiles compare a clinician to their peers who perform the same procedure based on the number of procedures performed in the last 12 months for patients with Medicare. Higher percentiles mean this clinician performed more procedures compared to other clinicians who also performed this procedure.

Spinal fusion

A surgical procedure that permanently connects two or more vertebrae (small bones in the spine). Metal plates, screws, and rods may be used to hold the vertebrae together so they can heal into one unit. This procedure is performed to correct spinal deformities, improve stability due to severe arthritis of the spine, or after removal of a herniated (damaged) disc. Spinal fusions can help to reduce pain or pressure, improve stability, and correct deformities or fractures.

Leg revascularization (restoring blood flow)

Annual number of procedures: 34

This clinician's : 83^rd

A surgical procedure to treat a blockage or narrowing in leg arteries by removing the blockage, opening the artery using a stent or small balloon, or using patients' veins or a vein graft to bypass the blocked portion. This procedure is used to treat occlusive peripheral arterial disease (PAD), which can cause legs to not have enough blood flow or oxygen. Clinicians perform this procedure to relieve patient symptoms, improve quality of life, and prevent the need for a leg amputation in critical cases.

Varicose vein removal

Annual number of procedures: 11

This clinician's : 45^th

A surgical procedure that fades or removes varicose veins (veins that become enlarged and bulge under the skin) by injecting a solution, using radiofrequency, or laser energy. Varicose veins can be removed for cosmetic reasons, or because they can cause aching, swelling, and discomfort. Clinicians perform this procedure to prevent varicose veins from worsening, to reduce symptoms, and improve quality of life.
