Welcome to Dakota Vascular

The arteries and veins of your body extend from your head to your toes, and the health of these blood vessels is critical to your overall wellness. When disorders and disease of the veins and arteries occur, they must be diagnosed and corrected quickly. Patients in need of this sort of vascular treatment can now make an appointment at Dakota Vascular.

With a new location now open in Sioux Falls, SD, our clinic is serving patients throughout the midwest, including parts of South Dakota, Iowa, and Minnesota.

About Dakota Vascular

Dakota Vascular is a brand new vascular care clinic established by a surgical team with over 40 years of combined experience. Founded in 2022 to help expand service to patients throughout South Dakota and the Midwest, Dakota Vascular offers a complete range of surgical and non-surgical treatments for issues of the veins and arteries throughout the body.

Meet the Dakota Vascular Surgeons

The four founding vascular surgeons who offer services at Dakota Vascular are:

• Patrick Kelly, MD: Kelly is a board certified vascular surgeon with over twenty years of experience treating patients. As a well regarded expert in venous and arterial disease, Dr. Kelly is regularly called on to present to medical groups across the world.
• Angelo Santos, MD: Santos has over two decades of experience in vascular surgery. Formerly a department chair at a local hospital’s vascular program, Dr. Santos now brings his skill and expertise to helping patients at Dakota Vascular, providing critical vascular care for patients. Dr. Santos is well known for being a physician who listens and collaborates with patients.
• Gregory Nissen, MD: Nissen is committed to compassionate care for patients–helping them achieve vascular results that improve the overall wellness and quality of life. Dr. Nissen provides treatment for every aspect of venous and arterial care, with an emphasis on surgical repair and complex cases.

Services Offered at Dakota Vascular

The team at Dakota Vascular has over 35 years of combined vascular care experience. Our surgeons are able to offer the following treatments to patients:

• Vascular Ultrasound
• Peripheral Vascular Disease Management and Treatment
• Arterial Disease Management and Treatment
• Aneurysm Management and Repair
• Non-Healing Wound Care and Treatment
• Varicose Vein Treatment
• Medical and Cosmetic Sclerotherapy
• Carotid Disease Management and Treatment
• Deep Vein Thrombosis Treatment
• Hyperhidrosis Treatment

While Dakota Vascular’s primary clinic is located in Sioux Falls, SD, the surgeons regularly perform outreach services throughout the region (link to outreach page). This enables patients to be screened more easily and evaluated for routine and acute vascular treatments in a more convenient location.

Ultimately, this leads to improved access to vascular care. Patients who need angioplasty, stenting, aortic stent grafting, or endoscopic vascular surgery can have their pre-surgery screenings closer to home–which means less driving, less stress, and fewer visits to the hospital.

Your Vascular Care is Critical

The health of your veins, arteries, and blood vessels is critical to your overall wellness and longevity. Sometimes vascular care is also critical to other treatments. Patients who must undergo kidney dialysis, for example, must first have vascular surgery to install an access port. These are critical services and treatments that Dakota Vascular now provides to a wide variety of Midwest patients.

Whether you’ve been referred to a vascular surgeon by your primary doctor, or you have questions about your vascular health, Dakota Vascular is now accepting appointments. By offering patients access to care both at our Sioux Falls clinic and easy access to screenings at many of our outreach locations, we can help you get the care you need–faster and easier.
