Meet the Team Behind Your Dialysis Access Care
At Lubbock Vascular Access Center (LVAC), we believe that great care begins with great people.
Our expert team combines decades of experience in dialysis access procedures, interventional radiology, and dedicated dialysis catheter and fistula care—all united by a shared commitment to compassion, safety, and clinical excellence.
Our Approach to Patient Care
We understand that managing your vascular access site can be stressful, especially if you’re dealing with a dialysis catheter problem, graft complication, or fistula concern. That’s why every team member—from the front desk to the procedure room—is focused on making your visit as smooth, clear, and supportive as possible.
We’re not just a healthcare team—we’re people who genuinely care about helping you protect your dialysis access and stay on track with your life-saving treatments.
