Emory Heart and Vascular Institute and Georgia Vascular Society

This week on Top Docs RADIO we sat down with Dr. Mark Rheudasil of Emory Heart and Vascular Institute.  We talked about the specialty of vascular surgery, new advances in minimally-invasive endovascular procedures, and upcoming events with Georgia Vascular Society.  Dr. Rheudasil shared some feelings about why he enjoys his chosen specialty as much as he does and when it’s advisable to be seen by the specialists of Emory Heart and Vascular Institute.

He talked about his membership with the Georgia Vascular Society and how it helps the vascular specialists across the state of Georgia stay in contact with each other to share best practices, new research, and other important information they provide through their educational conferences.  Our physician practice has worked with Emory Heart and Vascular Institute for many years, collaborating on countless patients with limb-threatening wounds.  Be sure to consider a consult with this practice should you or a loved one find themselves in need of evaluation for vascular disease of the extremities, aorta, carotids, and more.

Village Podiatry Centers and Extremity Health Care

This week I sat down with Dr. David Helfman, DPM.  He’s founder and CEO of Village Podiatry Centers and Chairman  of the Board for Extremity Health Care.  We discussed how he was able to grow the practice from a solo office in 1992 to having 30 locations in the Atlanta Metro area.

We learned that they look for doctors who possess ten or more years of training and board certified or board eligible.  Village Podiatry Centers’ physicians have contributed editorial and content contribution on a number of text books in academic podiatry reference books.  The reference materials Village Podiatry surgeons have contributed to are in use in podiatric schools across the US and abroad.

Each Village Podiatry Centers office provides on-site, digital X-ray and vascular studies.  And Village Podiatry patients have access to high quality imaging services through a relationship with the only high-field Extremity MRI Center in Atlanta. The group has three convenient surgery centers and their surgeons have privileges at numerous metro hospitals.

Extremity Health Care, the holding company of which Village Podiatry is a part, provides professional services, consulting, billing/collection, management services, interfaces with third-party contracting, marketing, etc.   Additionally, Extremity Health is working to add additional specialty service lines that complement their core practice, giving their patients access to the full spectrum of providers, diagnostics, and procedures they may need to achieve a positive outcome.
