Get to know Vascular Surgeon Dr. Eric D. Adams, who serves patients in Manchester, New Hampshire.
A board-certified vascular surgeon, Dr. Adams is affiliated with The Elliot at River’s Edge in Manchester, New Hampshire. With more than 20 years of surgical experience, he has developed a passion for carotid, aortic and limb preservation surgery. He also has a strong background in minimally invasive endovascular surgery.
The Elliot at River’s Edge is an out-patient facility built to care for patients who do not need to be in the hospital. The facility was built to offer ease of access to the specialists and diagnostic testing that patients need, whether through the urgent care center or by way of appointment with any one of their many doctors and providers in their practice.
After graduating from the United States Military Academy West Point, Dr. Adams earned his medical degree from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. He then went on to complete his residency in general surgery at the San Antonio Uniformed Services Health Education Consortium, before completing his fellowship in vascular surgery at Washington Hospital Center/Georgetown University.
Recognized as a Registered Physician in Vascular Interpretation (RPVI) and a Fellow of the Society for Vascular Surgery (FSVS), the doctor is board-certified in vascular surgery and general surgery by the American Board of Surgery (ABS). The ABS is an independent, non-profit organization located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, founded for the purpose of certifying surgeons who have met a defined standard of education, training, and knowledge.
Continuously advancing his efforts, he is an active member of the Society of Military Vascular Surgeons, the Peripheral Vascular Surgery Society, the Society of Vascular Surgeons, the Lycoming County Medical Society, and the Pennsylvania Medical Society.
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.
On a more personal note, Dr. Adams enjoys spending time outdoors hiking, skiing and bike riding with his wife and their 4 children.
