Novant Health Heart & Vascular Institute in Salisbury held a ribbon-cutting ceremony and grand opening today to celebrate its relocation and the addition of vascular surgeon Dr. Nestor Cruz who joins cardiologists, Drs. Brian Fazia, Apur Kamdar, Telly Meadows, Kobina Wilmot and Dennis Wilson.
The Novant Health Heart & Vascular office moved from the Kiser Medical Building at 911 Henderson Street to an office on the second floor of 401 Mocksville Avenue. This new space doubles the size of the office and features a beautiful modern design. Photography adorns the walls depicting historical sites unique to Rowan County taken by local photographer and registered nurse, Nancy Haines who works at Rowan Medical Center.
Cruz received his medical degree from the University of Texas Health Science Center in 1989. He then completed his internship and residency in surgery at Louisiana State University Medical Center Shreveport and his fellowship training in vascular surgery at University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in 1998. He is board certified in general surgery and vascular surgery by the American Board of Surgery and has over 20 years of experience.
Cruz will provide the full spectrum of treatment of the vascular system, including abdominal aneurysms, carotid blockages, peripheral artery disease (PAD), and venous diseases including DVT and varicose veins, and other related conditions. He practiced in High Point, North Carolina before joining Novant Health.
