University Vascular Associates

What University Vascular Associates does

University Vascular Associates (UVA) is a privately held, physician-owned vascular surgery practice operating as one of the largest such groups in Southern California. The practice delivers comprehensive diagnosis and treatment of arterial and venous disorders, including aortic aneurysm, carotid artery disease, peripheral arterial disease, deep vein thrombosis, varicose veins, dialysis access, thoracic outlet syndrome, mesenteric artery disease, and uterine fibroids. Care is delivered by four board-certified vascular surgeons, one interventional radiologist, and one nurse practitioner, supported by office-based endovascular labs, in-office duplex ultrasound, and telehealth consultations via the Doxy.me platform.

The practice's core technology is built around minimally invasive, fluoroscopy-guided catheter-based interventions (angioplasty, stenting, atherectomy, thrombectomy, embolization, intravascular ultrasound) performed on an outpatient basis in-office, alongside traditional open vascular surgery in hospital settings when required. UVA holds AAAHC ambulatory accreditation and maintains an active clinical research program, including a published study of more than 5,000 office-based endovascular cases that reinforces its clinical authority.

UVA generates revenue on a fee-for-service basis through professional services billing to Medicare, PPO, and most major health plans. Patient acquisition is sales-led and referral-driven, supplemented by physician referrals, insurance network participation, telehealth scheduling, and a content-rich website. Operations span seven office locations across the Los Angeles metropolitan area, with no disclosed funding, institutional investors, or pending transactions.
