Dr. Marks is a board-certified vascular surgeon who serves the community of Borough Park in Brooklyn, New York City, New York at the Vascular Institute of New York. With more than 25 years of experience, she is passionate about using the latest advancements in medical technology to diagnose and treat a wide range of vascular conditions, including hypertension, peripheral arterial disease (PAD), venous leg ulcers, and diabetic vascular disease.

Founded by Enrico Ascher, MD, in 1990, the Vascular Institute of New York has been serving communities throughout New York City for over 30 years. From hypertension and venous leg ulcers to chronic venous insufficiency, carotid artery disease, and deep vein thrombosis, it provides exceptional vascular care for all patients.

In addition to her time at the Vascular Institute of New York, Dr. Marks is an attending physician at Brooklyn’s Maimonides Medical Center, New York Community Hospital, and NYU Langone Brooklyn Medical Center. A frequent invited guest lecturer at numerous international vascular related meetings, she also serves as a Clinical Associate Professor of Medicine at the New York University School of Medicine.

Growing up in Ukraine, Dr. Marks earned her medical degree from the Medical Academy named after S. I. Georgievsky of Vernadsky CFU in 1993. She later moved to the United States to complete her residency in internal medicine at Maimonides Medical Center in Brooklyn. 

Belonging to several professional organizations, including the American College of Physicians and the American Society for Vascular Medicine, the doctor is board-certified by both the American Board of Vascular Medicine (an independent organization dedicated to the certification of qualified vascular medicine physicians) and the American Board of Internal Medicine (a physician-led, non-profit, independent evaluation organization driven by doctors who want to achieve higher standards for better care in a rapidly changing world). She also holds certifications from the National Alliance of Wound Care and Ostomy and the American Registry for Diagnostic Medical Sonography for vascular technology. 

Vascular surgery is a surgical subspecialty in which diseases of the vascular system, including the arteries, veins, and lymphatic circulation, are managed by medical therapy, minimally-invasive catheter procedures, and surgical reconstruction. A vascular surgeon diagnoses, treats, and manages conditions in the arteries and veins, also called the blood vessels. These specialists treat a range of health problems, from spider and varicose veins to life-threatening aneurysms, and can help patients manage chronic conditions throughout their lives.
