Philosophy of care | My job is to save the lives of patients with aortic aneurysms, to prevent strokes in patients with carotid artery disease and to avert amputation in patients with impaired blood flow to their extremities. However, what I treasure in my job is the relationship with patients and their families, developed sometimes over years and sometimes quickly during a challenging time in their lives. I always remember that patients like you who seek out my expertise are people – with jobs, lives, hobbies, families and compelling personal stories. I enjoy hearing those stories and playing a role in caring for those individuals. | Why I entered medicine | Honestly, I wasn't very good at physics. After studying physics and engineering as an undergraduate at Haverford College and as a graduate student at the University of Virginia, I figured out somewhat serendipitously that I was good at surgery and enjoyed caring for patients. Vascular surgery is intellectually engrossing and technically challenging. | Community involvement | My wife Oksana and I support the YMCA, and three generations of Jacksons have attended a YMCA summer camp in Rhode Island. Because Oksana is of Ukrainian heritage, we support a number of humanitarian causes in that country. | Personal interests | My family and I enjoy hiking and camping (Indian Garden Campground at the Grand Canyon is my favorite campsite). My kids play a lot of soccer, and some baseball and softball, so I've become a student of those games. We're pretty dedicated Philadelphia Union fans.

Philosophy of care | Vascular disease is often a complex, challenging, and lifelong problem, requiring equally intensive evaluation and treatment of the whole patient. When I meet with you, we will discuss your concerns that relate to vascular disease, as well as any other conditions that may play a role in the treatment of your vascular condition. | Why I entered medicine | There wasn’t any one, single thing. It starts when you do well in a couple of classes and somebody says, “You ought to be a doctor.” Early on it was suggested to me that medicine might be a good career choice. I got into my particular brand of medicine because the patients are challenging in terms of secondary problems, and the procedures are complex. That appealed to my desire to be all in and do something challenging. I enjoy working with my hands and want to effect change. I want to make sure people are getting better, and by doing procedures or interventional things like angioplasty and stenting, I have the opportunity to make a direct impact on patients’ lives. | Community involvement | As my kids went through school, I coached youth football and lacrosse, each for about seven years. I’ve always been involved with my children’s sports, and have continued to follow their sports careers through college. | Personal interests | I enjoy running and bicycling. When I was on staff at Lehigh Valley Hospital, I was involved with track cycling at the velodrome (now Valley Preferred Cycling Center), and did century rides. I’ve recently gotten back to biking and am mainly trying to stay in shape. My wife and I play tennis. And we spend a lot of time visiting our kids at different colleges and keeping up with them.

Philosophy of care | My philosophy of care is that candor builds trust between you as the patient and me as your surgeon. Modern medicine is increasingly complex. You can only make good decisions for your own health if you understand the options, including frank discussions of the potential risks and benefits. When I meet with patients and their families, I employ a variety of methods to explain medical terminology and surgical procedures, such as sketching anatomy diagrams. You deserve to feel clear about your alternatives, secure in your decisions and confident in the skills of our entire health care team. | Why I entered medicine | Something can be a cliche and still be true: I wanted to help people. I come from a family of engineers, but I was drawn to the possibility of directly impacting individuals. I enjoy challenges and constantly learning new things. I like being face-to-face with patients and knowing my career is meaningful. It's also gratifying to be able to help my extended family navigate the health care system. | Community involvement | The causes that are most important to me are food insecurity, environmental protection and restoration, and voting rights. I also actively support my school-age children in their sports and other extracurricular community activities. | Personal interests | My current primary hobby is building bicycles and maintaining/modifying them for our family. We also enjoy hiking and playing board games together, and I am an adventurous eater and home cook. Dr. Shang is highly rated in 10 conditions, according to our data. His top areas of expertise are Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm, Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA), Arterial Insufficiency, Carotid Artery Disease, and Carotid Artery Surgery.
