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.
As a testament to her success, Dr. Colaiuta has been the recipient of the Patients' Choice Award (2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2012, 2011), Compassionate Doctor Recognition (2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2012, 2011), and On-Time Doctor Award (2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014).
