About

Dr. Westerband believes in the importance of educating his patients and their families on disease processes and offering various treatment options; his patients's feedback is heard and highly valued. He knows that such interaction reduces fear and anxiety and leads to improved patient satisfaction and better outcomes. He understands that his patients's needs include not only the resolution of their vascular problems but also any related emotional and social health concerns. He answers questions thoroughly yet with simplicity, guiding them with compassion to their very best plan of care.

Dr. Alex Westerband specializes in minimally invasive endovascular treatment of venous and arterial pathologies. These include varicose veins, cosmetic treatment of spider veins using laser and other assisted technologies, acute and chronic deep vein thrombosis or occlusions, carotid stroke prevention, complications of peripheral vascular and arterial diseases, and endovascular treatment of aortic and other peripheral aneurysms. He is also highly experienced in the management of situations requiring open surgical treatment, including vascular trauma.

Dr. Westerband is board-certified in both vascular and general surgery, with a vascular fellowship at University of Arizona, surgical training at Case Western Reserve University (Ohio) and Long Island Jewish Medical Center (New York) and prior medical education in his native Haiti and at University Louis Pasteur Strasbourg (France). He is a former Associate Professor of Clinical Surgery at the University of Arizona and has authored or co-authored more than 40 peer-reviewed clinical and research articles and book chapters.
