Over the past few decades, the landscape of vascular care has evolved and seen a dynamic shift, transitioning from highly invasive open surgeries to precise, minimally invasive endovascular procedures. Rather than requiring larger incisions and longer hospital stays, our vascular surgeons are using the latest advancements in vascular intervention to improve patient outcomes, shorten recovery times, and dramatically improve overall quality of life and limb-salvaging outcomes.

We are pleased to welcome vascular surgeons Drs. Huiting Chen, Jordan Knepper, and Judith Lin to the McLaren Greater Lansing team!
