Experienced Vein Specialist Embraces Prescott and its People, and Strives for Collaborative, Patient-Centered Care
Veins, vessels, and valves are all part of the body’s vascular system, which is why cardiothoracic surgeon Saina Attaran, MD, is at home in her new role at the Vein Center at Dignity Health, Yavapai Regional Medical Center (YRMC).
“The venous system is critical to our overall health,” explained Dr. Attaran, Vein Specialist, the Vein Center at YRMC. “We depend on our network of veins to deliver deoxygenated blood back to our hearts. It’s familiar territory for me.”
The Quad Cities community is also familiar to Dr. Attaran. She moved to the area in 2019 to join the surgical team at YRMC’s James Family Heart Center.
“I love everything about this community: the people, spirit, and scenery,” she said. “Helping the people of my community stay healthy is a privilege.”
Patient-Centered Care
With Dr. Attaran’s exceptional skills and experience, the fully staffed Vein Center will continue to provide top diagnostic and advanced therapies for people with lower-extremity vein issues. The strong partnership with Advanced Wound Care at Dignity Health, YRMC, will also continue.
“Our Advanced Wound Care and Vein Center teams often collaborate to care for patients,” noted Cheryl Sofonia, Director, Advanced Wound and Vein Center. “It’s a benefit to patients that our clinics are together in one location. It’s an even bigger benefit that our Advanced Wound and Vein Center teams draw on the expertise of the multidisciplinary medical team to ensure patients receive the best care possible.”
Dr. Attaran echoes this and also emphasizes the patient’s significant role in the Vein Center’s care model.
“Teamwork is a very important to the Vein Center,” Dr. Attaran says. “And our patients are at the center of our team. We work with every patient to improve their mobility with individualized care plans that may include lifestyle changes, compression stockings and possibly a venous procedure.”
A Global Medical Education
Dr. Attaran’s medical education has taken her to top medical centers in the United States and worldwide. She pursued a valve reconstruction fellowship in the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York. Prior to that, she studied valve/aortic surgery during a fellowship at the Prince of Wales Hospital in Hong Kong and cardiothoracic surgery during a junior clinical fellowship at the London Chest Hospital.
Dr. Attaran’s cardiothoracic residency took place in the United Kingdom at hospitals throughout London and Liverpool. She earned her medical degree from Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences in Tehran, Iran.
