It is this passion that makes him a highly qualified and sought-after surgeon for helping those who are facing the possibility of amputations due to vascular disease. Dr. Misick is exclusively dedicated to preventing amputation by targeting treatment options aggressively, but carefully to spare tissue, repair damage, and help maintain and restore function in limbs that would other wise have to be amputated.
