Summary

• Dr. Greg Westin provides comprehensive care to patients with a variety of conditions involving the blood vessels. He graduated from Harvard College and completed his pre-medical studies at Columbia University. He received his medical degree from the University of California, Davis, where he was inducted into the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society. He completed subspecialty training in vascular surgery at New York University (NYU) and is board certified in vascular surgery.
  
  Dr. Westin’s primary clinical focus is on treating patients with lower extremity wounds, including those related to diabetes, reduced blood flow, or vein problems such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT). He offers patients time-tested surgical treatments such as lower extremity bypass, angiography with angioplasty or stent placement, and saphenous and perforator vein ablation. In addition, he has experience with advanced new techniques currently only available in a few select centers, such as retrograde tibial artery endovascular treatments, surgical deep vein reconstruction, and percutaneous deep vein arterialization.
  
  In addition to his clinical expertise, Dr. Westin is a skilled and enthusiastic educator, researcher, and participant in academic medicine. He has published over 20 peer-reviewed articles in addition to many conference presentations, abstracts, and book chapters. During his time at UC Davis, he received a T32 Predoctoral Clinical Research Training Program Fellowship from the National Institutes of Health and obtained a master’s degree in clinical research. He has served on multiple local and national committees and taught trainees at various levels. He maintains a robust translational research agenda, primarily focused on chronic limb-threatening ischemia; current projects include a study of mesenchymal stem cells in ischemic skeletal muscle, angiogenesis in ischemic limbs, advanced imaging of foot perfusion, and the healing of diabetic foot wounds.
