Get to know Endovascular and Vascular Surgeon Dr. Herbert Oye, who serves patients in Beckley, West Virginia.

As a nationally-renowned endovascular and vascular surgeon, Dr. Oye specializes in invasive and non-invasive treatment of vascular diseases. He is the Owner & Operator of West Virginia Vascular Institute in Beckley, West Virginia.

Specializing in vascular / endovascular surgery & advanced wound care, West Virginia Vascular Institute is located next to Beckley Appalachian Regional Hospital in the Southern West Virginia Clinic. Services provided at the practice include, but are not limited to: endovascular procedures, open vascular procedures, minimally invasive varicose vein treatment, advanced wound care treatment (including skin tissue disorders), hyperbaric ozone treatment, and neurometrix testing (non-invasive neurological study).

The objectives of West Virginia Vascular Institute are to provide excellent and caring treatment of patients in the areas of endovascular surgery (minimally invasive), open vascular surgery (traditional or classical which is more invasive), and minimally invasive treatment of vein diseases, including varicose veins and blood clots; to advance a global or comprehensive wound care management system; to educate patients and the community on the need to recognize early life or limb threatening disease problems such as stroke, aneurysms, and peripheral arterial disease; to continue to research and follow new cutting-edge technologies that will bring relief to patients with vascular problems; and to avail services to all communities and patients in the management of vascular disease and advanced wound care in West Virginia.

A Nigerian immigrant, Dr. Oye’s acclaimed career in medicine began after he earned his Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree from the University of North Texas Health Science Center-Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine in 1991. He then went on to perform his residency in general surgery at Wyckoff Heights Medical Center in Brooklyn, New York, an affiliate of Albert Einstein Medical Center.

Furthering his training, he completed his fellowship in advanced vascular and endovascular surgery at the Arizona Heart Institute, providing him the knowledge and experience necessary to handle even the most difficult cases.  

A Fellow of the American College of Osteopathic Surgeons, Dr. Oye continues to stay abreast of the most current cutting-edge technologies to ensure his patients have the most advanced treatment options possible.

Practicing medicine in West Virginia, he is affiliated with the following hospitals and medical centers: Raleigh General Hospital, Beckley ARH Hospital, Beckley Veterans Affairs Medical Center, and Plateau Medical Center.

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.

Endovascular surgery is an innovative, less invasive procedure used to treat problems affecting the blood vessels, such as an aneurysm, which is a swelling or “ballooning” of the blood vessel.  In endovascular surgery, vascular surgeons use catheters (long, thin, flexible tubes) to access arteries and veins. This allows them to diagnose and treat a variety of vascular conditions anywhere in the body.

Perhaps most impressive of all is that each of Dr. Oye’s four children – David, Monique, Michelle, and Melissa – followed in their father’s footsteps. They each said they were inspired by their father and all have become doctors.
