Vascular Specialist in Arlington & Paris, TX
Answers about your vascular health, in one visit
Circulation problems usually get split across three offices. Here the scan, the diagnosis, and the treatment all happen with the same surgeon.
15+Years in Texas
Dr. Caruso moved his practice from New Jersey in 2010 and has treated vascular patients here since.
Double board certified
Dr. Caruso is board certified in both general surgery and vascular surgery, and he reviews your case himself.
Same-day imaging
Your ultrasound is done in house and read with you while you are still in the room.
Open and minimally invasive
Both approaches are on the table, so the plan is chosen around your case rather than around one technique.
Arteries, veins, and lymphatics
One practice for the full circulatory system, so you are not sent across town for the next step.

What you leave with
A diagnosis or a clear next step, your insurance benefits already checked, and a direct number to call.
Our process
How your first visit works
Most of the visit is listening and imaging. You will not leave with a referral and a question mark.
We start with your history
When symptoms began, what makes them worse, and how far you can walk tells us more than any single scan.
Then we image and explain
Vascular ultrasound takes about twenty minutes, and your results are reviewed with you before you leave.

Conditions we treat
From leg pain that shows up when you walk to an aneurysm found on a routine scan, these are the problems we see most.

Founder
Meet your surgeon
Joseph M. Caruso, MD, FACS
Double board certified general and vascular surgeon
Dr. Caruso earned his medical degree at the State University of New York in Brooklyn, then completed his internship and general surgery residency at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. He finished his training with a vascular surgery fellowship covering both open and minimally invasive technique, and stayed on an additional year as a research fellow, where his clinical research earned an award from the American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma. He moved his practice from New Jersey to Texas in 2010. His view is that knowing both the traditional and the minimally invasive approach is what lets you choose the right one for the patient in front of you.
