Symmetry Vascular Center
Dr. S. Scott Tapper, M.D.
Dr. Kyle Diamond, M.D.
Board Certified in Vascular Surgery
The most recent renovation/expansion at Symmetry was in 2018 when Dr. Tapper built the Office-Based Lab (OBL) or Outpatient Interventional Suite (OIS) and Ambulatory Surgical Center (ASC). The large OBL and pre op/recovery area is located in the Smithfield Plaza in Stuart, FL.
What procedures are typically performed in an OBL/ASC setting?
Almost all endovascular procedures can be performed in an OBL/ASC setting, including:
Diagnostic imaging
Angioplasty and stenting
Atherectomy
Thrombectomy
Embolization
IVUS
IVC filter placement and removal
Venous ablation
DVT interventions
What are the benefits of physician-directed care?
There are multiple benefits to this treatment approach:
Physicians seeking autonomy have a greater degree of control over the administrative aspects of their practice
Better physician productivity and efficiency
Patients drawn to it due to increased convenience, comfort, improved experience
Developments in minimally-invasive surgical technique ("Office-based labs: Trends & best practices - PV podium," n.d.)
Most importantly - Our team at Symmetry provides care that is patient focused and all about YOU
