Overview
I truly love talking with patients and sharing stories about my life and theirs. Vascular disease can be complex and decision making requires a good relationship between the doctor and the patient. It is my job to educate the patient about their specific condition and what options are available. Ultimately, my hope is to improve their quality of life. I have been in practice since 1990 and have seen significant changes in my profession. In the beginning most of what I offered involved open surgery. Now we have vastly improved what we can offer patients, be it medical management, minimally invasive procedures, or if needed, surgery. Fifteen years ago exciting new options became available to treat patients with venous disease, and I began to specialize in treating patients with varicose veins. I was the first physician to perform an endovenous laser procedure in Raleigh, and this is the most common procedure I now perform. I married my wife, Pam, right after graduation from college. We have two children who both were married in 2016 and live in Raleigh. I enjoy surfing, travel, playing guitar, and am an excellent chef.

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 Gangrene.
