Dr. Heather W. Waldrop
Overview
Vascular surgery provides me the opportunity to work with a diverse patient population while treating a variety of disease processes. My first priority is always patient care. I strive to treat each patient with the same care I would want my family to receive. I enjoy the opportunity to develop long-term relationships with patients and establish continuity of care. In vascular surgery, there are multiple treatment options, including endovascular techniques, medical management, and open surgical techniques. Additionally, there is a wide range of disease processes, including deep venous thrombosis, peripheral arterial disease, abdominal aortic aneurysms, and carotid artery disease. I take a team approach with patients and their families to align treatment options with patients’ expectations in order to achieve the best possible outcomes. While away from the hospital, I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, and enjoying the wide range of outdoor activities that North Carolina has to offer.

Duke Vascular Surgery And Vein Center At Brier Creek
I love being a vascular surgeon because it provides the opportunity to treat disease in all aspects of the body. I specialize in arterial disease, whether that means preventing an abdominal aortic aneurysm from rupturing or performing a bypass to end debilitating leg pain. Vascular surgery is a unique combination of traditional technical challenges and modern technology, which allows for minimally invasive procedures. Most important, vascular surgery allows me to create long-term relationships with my patients. I like to sit down and speak with patients and their families in order to create a family atmosphere where patients feel they can talk to me about anything. At the end of the day, we are all on the same team. Dr. Long is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Carotid Artery Disease.
