Vascular Surgeons: A board-certified vascular surgeon is considered a vascular specialist, i.e. expert in treating artery & vein conditions. They are the only specialist that has formal fellowship training in artery & vein surgery & interventions. Phlebologist is not recognized as a speciality by the American Board of Medical Specialties, i.e. anyone can say they are a phlebologist without any formal training.
