Specializes in the diagnosis and management of arterial and venous disorders

Farmington¾

 

Franklin Memorial Hospital and Maine Medical Partners MaineHealth Cardiology are providing a monthly Vascular Clinic starting November 21 at the Androscoggin Valley Medical Arts Center (AVMAC) at 21 Main Street in Livermore Falls.

 

Initially, Paul Frey, MD, MPH, will be scheduled to provide services once a month and Brad Roberts, a vascular technologist, will provide diagnostic imaging services twice a month. The clinic will specialize in the diagnosis and management of arterial and venous disorders.

 

Patients with vascular disease may have medical problems such as atherosclerosis, nonhealing wounds, deep vein thrombosis, varicose veins, lymphedema, and peripheral vascular disease.

 

Dr. Frey specializes in peripheral vascular disease, a slow and progressive circulation disorder in which organs may not receive adequate blood flow for ordinary function. However, the legs and feet are most commonly affected. Complications may include limb amputation, heart attack, and stroke.

 

Dr. Frey is certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine with subspecialties in Internal Medicine, Cardiology, and Interventional Cardiology. He received his medical degree from the University of Massachusetts Medical School, followed by a residency in Internal Medicine at Johns Hopkins Hospital. Most recently Dr. Frey completed Fellowships at the University of California - San Francisco, Moffitt Hospital in Cardiology, and at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Interventional Cardiology.
