Welcome to the Vascular Malformations Clinic
We offer our outpatient, multidisciplinary Vascular Malformations Clinic (VMC) once a month. This clinic is usually held on the 2nd Wednesday afternoon of the month. The clinic is staffed by pediatric dermatologists, otolaryngologists, plastic surgeons, radiologists, interventional radiologists, and general surgeons who are specially trained in the diagnosis and management of vascular anomalies.
Our goal is to offer expert consultation regarding the diagnosis and management of vascular anomalies, such as hemangiomas, lymphatic malformations, venous malformations, and other complex malformations. Patients with lesions that may benefit from a combination of medical and surgical opinions are ideal candidates for this clinic.

What to Expect
VAC is held on the 2nd Wednesday afternoon of each month. Prior to your visit, our nurse coordinator will contact you to facilitate obtaining your relevant medical records and imaging studies. We will review the imaging studies with our pediatric radiologist prior to your visit.
At the visit, your child will be examined by our team of doctors. The team will convene immediately after the examination to discuss your child's possible therapeutic options and provide you with a treatment plan.
