North Star Vascular adds Dr. Nedaa Skeik for expanded outpatient vascular care

North Star Vascular & Interventional has added Mayo Clinic–trained vascular medicine specialist Nedaa Skeik, MD, to broaden diagnosis and treatment options for patients in the Twin Cities. The move strengthens the clinic’s push to offer comprehensive vascular care, including minimally invasive outpatient treatment, in one setting.

Why it matters: - North Star Vascular & Interventional is expanding access to comprehensive vascular care in the Twin Cities. - Patients with leg pain, swelling, varicose veins and other circulation problems can now be evaluated by a nationally recognized specialist closer to home. - The addition strengthens the clinic’s ability to combine medical management, imaging and minimally invasive treatment in one outpatient setting.

What happened: - North Star Vascular & Interventional added Nedaa Skeik, MD, FACC, FACP, FSVM, RPVI, to its team. - Skeik is Mayo Clinic–trained and board-certified in vascular medicine. - Skeik brings more than 25 years of clinical experience. - The clinic is based in Golden Valley, Minnesota. - For appointments or more information, patients can call (952) 960-9399.

The details: - Skeik’s practice includes arterial, venous and lymphatic disorders. - His areas include peripheral artery disease, chronic venous insufficiency, varicose veins, deep vein thrombosis and lymphedema. - His expertise also covers fibromuscular dysplasia, arterial dissections, aneurysms and vasculitis. - Skeik previously served as Section Head of Vascular Medicine and Medical Director of the Vein Center and Vascular Laboratories at Minneapolis Heart Institute/Abbott Northwestern Hospital. - Skeik is an Adjunct Professor of Medicine at Des Moines University. - He has authored more than 130 peer-reviewed scientific publications. - North Star says the expanded model gives patients access to advanced image-guided and endovascular therapies when appropriate. - North Star also said it works with vascular surgeons and other specialists when surgical treatment is needed. - North Star’s physicians specialize in interventional radiology and minimally invasive, image-guided therapies.

Between the lines: - The addition signals North Star’s effort to position itself as a one-stop outpatient vascular center rather than only a procedure site. - Dr. Jafar Golzarian said the goal is to become the region’s most comprehensive outpatient vascular center. - Golzarian said the clinic aims to offer seamless access to both medical management and state-of-the-art endovascular procedures. - Golzarian said patients should expect an objective consultation that helps determine the best course of treatment. - The clinic is leaning into a multidisciplinary model that can keep more care close to home and reduce the need for fragmented referrals.
