A triple board-certified vascular and endovascular surgeon, Dr. Abbruzzese works with HCA Florida Vascular Specialists in Brandon, Florida.

Academically, Dr. Abbruzzese obtained his undergraduate degree from the University of California, Davis in 1995, and received his medical degree from the Stanford University School of Medicine in 2000. He then went on to complete his residency in general surgery at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in 2007, followed by his fellowship in vascular surgery at Massachusetts General Hospital in 2008.

Subsequent to his training, he attained board certification in vascular surgery, general surgery, and surgical critical care through the American Board of Surgery (ABS).

Vascular surgery is a surgical subspecialty in which diseases of the vascular system, including the arteries, veins, and lymphatic circulation, are managed by medical therapy, minimally-invasive catheter procedures, and surgical reconstruction. A vascular surgeon diagnoses, treats, and manages conditions in the arteries and veins, also called the blood vessels. These specialists treat a range of health problems, from spider and varicose veins to life-threatening aneurysms, and can help patients manage chronic conditions throughout their lives.

Attributing his success to offering patient-centered care and giving an authentic opinion, Dr. Abbruzzese has authored multiple articles in peer-reviewed journals on various topics in vascular disease, transplantation and trauma and has presented his findings nationally.
