Get to know Vascular and Endovascular Surgeon Dr. Erica L. Mitchell, who serves the population of Portland, Oregon. Erica L. Mitchell, MD, M.Ed, is a Vascular and Endovascular Surgeon serving as Medical Director for the Vascular Surgical and Endovascular Service at Salem Hospital, and Professor of Surgery in the Division of Vascular Surgery with the Oregon Health & Science University. Dr. Mitchell is a highly experienced and respected surgeon, who features over two decades of experience in her field. Her acclaimed career began in 1996, when she graduated from the University of Colorado, School of Medicine in Denver. Upon earning her Medical Degree, she completed her General Surgery residency at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center in Denver, a Vascular and Endovascular Surgery fellowship at the Oregon Health & Science University in Portland, and an Interventional Radiology Fellowship at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center. Pursuing advanced education, Dr. Mitchell obtained her M.Ed in Surgical Education in 2013 from the Imperial College in London, United Kingdom. Dr. Mitchell is board certified in General Surgery and Vascular & Endovascular Surgery by the American Board of Surgery, and has dedicated her life to providing the highest standard of quality care to her patients and vascular surgical education to trainees on a national level. She provides expert treatment for a wide range of conditions, and is noted for her expertise in vascular and endovascular surgery. Moreover, Dr. Mitchell is renowned as a specialist in aortic surgery, carotid artery surgery, peripheral arterial revascularization, and dialysis access. Vascular conditions affect the veins and arteries in your body, which conduct oxygen to every living cell. Think of your veins and arteries as expressways or rivers. When there are traffic jams or road construction, or when dams break, trouble ensues. But in most cases, vascular conditions are highly treatable, often without surgery. It is important to see a vascular surgeon, even when surgery is not needed. Vascular surgeons specialize in treatments of every kind of vascular problem except those of the heart (treated by cardiovascular surgeons) and the brain (treated by neurosurgeons). A common condition such as atherosclerosis may show up in the legs, for example, but affects the whole body. Vascular surgeons will talk to you about how exercise, diet and medication can be the first step in regaining your health. When surgery is needed, vascular surgeons are trained in all types of interventions, not just one or two.
