Assess Vascular Health Before
Treatment or Surgery
Vascular consults and risk assessment focus on understanding the health of your blood vessels and how vascular conditions may affect your overall care plan. During this visit, Dr. Wong reviews your symptoms, medical history, and prior imaging, performs a focused physical examination, and evaluates your vascular risk. When needed, off-site vascular laboratory studies are also included to help guide safe, informed decisions, especially before vascular surgery.
Why Do You Need a Vascular Consult and Risk Assessment?
A vascular consult and risk assessment help diagnose conditions affecting the arteries and veins, including peripheral artery disease, carotid artery disease, and venous disorders. It also evaluates how existing vascular disease, risk factors, or circulation issues may impact planned procedures. By reviewing a detailed medical history, physical examination, and appropriate testing, Dr. Wong can identify problems early and guide safe, personalized care decisions. You may need a vascular consult and risk assessment if:
- You have leg pain, cramping, or fatigue when walking
- You experience non-healing wounds or slow-healing ulcers
- You have known atherosclerosis or cardiovascular disease
- You are preparing for surgery and have vascular risk factors
- You have a history of stroke, TIA, or carotid artery disease
- You notice swelling, varicose veins, or chronic leg discomfort

Vascular Consults & Risk Assessment FAQs

Vascular laboratory studies, such as duplex ultrasound, are performed off-site at accredited vascular labs. During your vascular consult, Dr. Wong will review these results in detail to ensure his recommendations are based on accurate, high-quality data.
Why is Vascular Risk Assessment Important Before Surgery?
If you’re planning surgery, a vascular risk assessment helps determine whether circulation issues could increase the risk of complications, delayed healing, or cardiovascular events. By identifying concerns in advance, Dr. Wong can recommend risk-reduction strategies, additional testing, or treatment when appropriate, supporting safer surgical planning.
