Carlos Pineda, MD

Carlos Pineda, MD, is a board-certified vascular surgeon. Dr. Pineda evaluates and treats most vascular conditions, with a special interest in aortic pathology, peripheral arterial disease and carotid disease.

Dr. Pineda puts his patients first. He strives to help every patient understand their vascular condition, weigh treatment options and, together, come up with a treatment plan that makes sense for them. This is achieved by getting to know his patients as individuals, listening to their concerns, and answering their questions clearly and honestly.
