Alongside his clinical practice, Dr. Clabeaux is affiliated with Buffalo Medical Group, joining in 2015. He also does extensive research which is based on the aneurysmal and occlusive disease of the peripheral arterial system.

In addition to being a Fellow of the Society for Vascular Surgery (FSVS) and a Fellow of the American College of Osteopathic Surgeons (FACOS), he is a member of the American Osteopathic Association and the Western New York Society of Vascular Surgeons.

Born and raised in Buffalo, Dr. Clabeaux attended Saint Francis High School and Buffalo State College. He then attended medical school at LECOM in Erie, Pennsylvania and received the WNY Outstanding Osteopathic Medical Student Award. He did his traditional rotating internship at Sisters of Charity Hospital, then continued on to the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center for his training in general surgery. He then had the unique experience of being the first graduating fellow from the Sisters of Charity Hospital Vascular Surgery Fellowship, under the directorship of Dr. Paul Anain and Dr. Roger Walcott.

Licensed to practice medicine in New York, the doctor is board-certified in vascular surgery and general surgery by the American Osteopathic Board of Surgery (AOBS). The AOBS is an organization that provides board certification to qualified Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine who specialize in the use of surgery to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of disease.

Among his community involvement, Dr. Clabeaux is a frequent speaker at community outreach programs for vascular health, and a volunteer for local semi-annual vascular screenings.

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. Clabeaux is married. His wife, Bernadette, is a professor at Medaille College. When he is not working, one can find him with his family, fishing or at the gym, not necessarily in that order. His favorite book or movie is Braveheart.
