Dr Samiul Islam is a specialist Vascular and Endovascular Surgeon trained in the management of arterial disease, venous conditions, and dialysis access.
Dr Islam completed his vascular surgery training in Australia and is a Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (FRACS). He offers contemporary, evidence-based vascular care, with careful consideration of each patient’s individual circumstances and treatment goals.
His clinical experience includes the management of peripheral arterial disease, aneurysmal disease, carotid artery disease, venous insufficiency, creation and maintenance of dialysis access, management of diabetic foot disease and placement of long term vascular access such as Portacath. He has expertise in both open and endovascular techniques.
Dr Islam consults and operates in Sydney and regional New South Wales, and works closely with general practitioners, nephrologists, endocrinologists and medical specialists to deliver coordinated, patient-centred care.
