Who they are

Oregon Vascular Specialists (OVS) is a newly established comprehensive vascular surgery practice located in Wilsonville, OR, beginning operations on September 16, 2024. The practice was founded by four board-certified vascular surgeons — Dr. Brad Cook, Dr. John Dussel, Dr. Vincent Santo, and Dr. Brant Ullery — who previously practiced within Providence Vascular Surgery.

More about OREGON VASCULAR SPECIALISTS

OVS represents what it describes as the first facility of its kind in northern Oregon, combining outpatient specialty consultation, an ultrasound laboratory, and modern office-based procedural capabilities under one roof. The practice is supported by Heart & Vascular Partners (HVP), a management services organization dedicated to partnering with independently owned cardiology and vascular practices across the U.S. Despite transitioning to an independent practice model, OVS maintains a close partnership with Providence Health System and continues to serve as the exclusive providers of vascular care throughout the Providence system in Oregon. This dual clinic-hospital relationship means nursing staff may work across both ambulatory and inpatient settings. The practice treats the full spectrum of vascular conditions, including arterial diseases, venous diseases, dialysis access, wound care, and other specific vascular conditions, utilizing both open surgical and minimally invasive endovascular techniques. For nursing professionals, particularly Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants, OVS offers opportunities to work in a specialized vascular care environment collaborating directly with four vascular surgeons. The APP role spans clinic operations and hospital service, involving patient assessments, minor clinical procedures, post-operative follow-up care, patient consults, and patient education on health maintenance and disease prevention. The practice emphasizes evidence-based medicine and the latest surgical and endovascular innovations.

The organization's mission is to provide the highest quality vascular care using evidence-based medicine and the latest open surgical and endovascular innovations. OVS is committed to comprehensive vascular care across the full spectrum of vascular surgery, supporting the independent practice of medicine while maintaining strong partnerships with major health systems like Providence.

What to consider

Indeed lists an overall rating of 2.0 out of 5 stars for 'Vascular Specialists' based on 4 reviews, with detailed sub-ratings of 2.0 for work-life balance, 2.7 for pay and benefits, 1.8 for job security and advancement, 1.5 for management, and 1.5 for culture. Reviewer job titles include Registered Nurse and Nurse. However, the listed review locations (Tinley Park, IL and Olympia Fields, IL) suggest these reviews may pertain to a similarly named but separate organization, not Oregon Vascular Specialists specifically, which was only established in September 2024 in Wilsonville, OR.

The good

  • Newly established, state-of-the-art facility combining consultation, ultrasound lab, and procedural capabilities under one roof
  • Direct collaboration with four board-certified vascular surgeons in a specialized practice
  • Maintains exclusive vascular care partnership with Providence Health System, offering both clinic and hospital exposure
  • Supported by Heart & Vascular Partners, a management services organization experienced in cardiovascular practice operations
  • Advanced Practice Provider role offers diverse responsibilities across patient assessment, procedures, education, and post-operative care
  • Focus on evidence-based medicine and latest endovascular innovations provides specialized clinical learning environment

The hard parts

  • Newly established practice (September 2024) with limited operational track record and no organization-specific employee reviews
  • Small specialty practice with four surgeons may offer limited advancement or lateral mobility opportunities for nursing staff
  • Available third-party review data (Indeed: 2.0/5) is low, though it may reflect a different similarly-named organization rather than OVS
  • Highly specialized vascular focus may not appeal to nurses seeking broad cross-specialty clinical experience
