Bringing 30 years of experience in vascular medicine, Andres Katz, MD recently joined the Dallas practice specializing in vascular and endovascular procedures as well as limb salvage (amputation prevention). Areas of focus for Dr. Katz include:
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD)
Aortic Aneurysm
Carotid Artery Disease
Varicose Veins
Abdominal Aneurysms
Dialysis Access (fistulas, grafts and maintenance)
A native of Hungary, Dr. Katz attended medical school in Spain before completing his residency in General Surgery in Dallas and a rigorous fellowship in Peripheral Vascular Surgery at the prestigious Health Science Centre Hospital in Manitoba, Winnipeg, Canada.
Dr. Katz places a high priority on compassionate care. “It is just as important to know when not to perform a surgical intervention as it is to perform one,” he said. “I love the focus on limb salvage that Lam Vascular embodies. With so many advanced techniques at our disposal, it gives us the freedom to explore the best course of treatment for each individual.”
Practice founder and principal surgeon Dr. Russell Lam couldn’t agree more. “We are fortunate to have Dr. Katz join our committed team of vascular experts,” said Dr. Lam. “Like the entire team, he is very passionate about limb salvage and each patient’s overall health.”
Russell Lam, MD, has performed over 10,000 complex peripheral interventions and is credited with preventing thousands of leg amputations. He has been recognized on the Super Doctors and Castle Connolly lists since 2015 and was named a Best Doctor in Dallas for the second time by D Magazine last year.
