Dr. Hwang is a fellowship-trained vascular surgeon with PAD Specialists in El Paso, Texas. His interests include treating thoracic and abdominal aortic aneurysms, carotid occlusive disease, peripheral arterial occlusive disease, limb salvage, and hemodialysis access.

In his current practice, his main focus is towards minimally-invasive or endovascular surgery of the lower extremities in an attempt to leverage technology and advanced techniques to help patients have a more rapid return to normal life.

Firmly believing that there is no one-size-fits-all operation, Dr. Hwang strives to get to know each patient. Then, he tailors a specific operative or non-operative management plan based on their needs and goals. He encourages open communication, and loves to remind patients that they are not alone on their path to recovery.

In regards to his educational background, Dr. Hwang graduated with his Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Connecticut. He then went on to earn his Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine in 2013.

Furthering his training, he performed his residency in general surgery at Conemaugh Memorial Medical Center, serving as chief resident in 2018. He followed this up with a clinical fellowship in vascular surgery at West Virginia University in 2020.

Before long, Dr. Hwang became board-certified in general vascular surgery by the American Osteopathic Board of Surgery (AOBS). The AOBS is an organization that provides board certification to qualified Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine who specialize in the use of surgery to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of disease.

Gaining a critical edge in promoting public safety in vascular interpretation ultrasound, Dr. Hwang is a Registered Physician in Vascular Interpretation (RPVI) through The Alliance for Physician Certification & Advancement.

Among his professional affiliations, he is an active member of the Society for Vascular Surgery, the Vascular & Endovascular Surgery Society, the Texas Osteopathic Medical Association, the American College of Osteopathic Surgeons, and the American Osteopathic Association.

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.
