Meet the Team
The vascular surgery team at Ochsner Lafayette General (Level 2 trauma) is young and growing, built from experienced surgeons who transitioned from local private practice when the department launched in 2023. The environment pairs an established surgical culture with the room to shape a program still early in its development. You would join a collaborative group with strong ties to cardiology, nephrology, podiatry, wound care, and interventional radiology, and work alongside a broader network of surgical specialists, many in the early or middle stages of their careers.
