Overview

I am a vascular surgeon with a particular focus on conditions affecting arteries in the neck, abdomen, and extremities (arms and legs). Vascular disease can be very complex and can have a big impact on patients' lives. Each patient is different and there are a number of ways to approach any given vascular condition, including medications, endovascular interventions, and open surgeries. I consider it a privilege to work together with patients and their families towards a personalized care plan. I also really enjoy the relationships that vascular surgeons get to develop with patients and their families over time. Outside of the hospital, I enjoy hiking, skiing, baking, and spending time with friends and family.

As a surgeon that specializes in the vascular system, which is the body's network of blood vessels, I appreciate that there are many different ways to significantly help people. I truly believe making a connection with a person is one of the most important aspects in patient care. I don’t tell my patients what decision to make about their health. It's my job to understand the priorities in their life and then give them information and guidance to make their own decision. In doing so, a stroke can be prevented by repairing arteries to the brain. Fixing an aneurysm, which is caused by a weakness in the wall of an artery, can save someone from hemorrhaging to death, and treating the arteries to the legs can prevent an amputation or help reduce some causes of severe leg pain. Dr. Shortell is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in Carotid Artery Surgery. Her top areas of expertise are Varicose Veins, Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA), Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm, Carotid Artery Surgery, and Thrombectomy.
