Linda M. Harris, MD, FACS, DFSVS

Dr. Harris has a national reputation for her work in the field of education, having served on the ACME Surgery Review Committee, the Vascular Surgery Milestone Project and is the past President for the Association of Program Directors in Vascular Surgery and Eastern Vascular Society. Her clinical interests include peripheral arterial disease, venous occlusive disease, dialysis access, thoracic outlet syndrome, aneurysmal disease and carotid disease.

As a vascular surgeon, I am dedicated to treating and helping my patients manage conditions of the circulatory system, including diseases of the arteries, veins and lymph vessels and blood disorders that affect circulation. My patients can feel secure knowing I’m prepared to deliver the most advanced treatments available — including minimally invasive endovascular interventions, open vascular procedures and hybrid surgery techniques that combine open surgical and endovascular approaches. Vascular disease tends to be a lifelong problem; therefore, I aim to help my patients modify their lifestyles so that they experience as few vascular difficulties as possible throughout their lives.

I have decades of experience researching venous disease, cerebrovascular disease, aneurysms, peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and thoracic outlet syndrome. I am committed to conducting outcomes-based research for conditions including PAD and aneurisms because my goal is to increase knowledge about the intermediate and long-term results of endovascular and vascular practices and interventions. While immediate results are important, long-term outcomes are even more important for vascular disease, as we cannot cure the conditions, but we can treat them. I work toward learning which treatments are most effective based on patients’ end results.
