 Dr. Natalie Marks is the  
 first  board-certified  female  
 vascular medicine specialist  
 in Brooklyn, bringing a unique  
 perspective  to  this  important  
 field of medicine. 
 She works as an integral  
 part of the vascular surgery  
 team of The Vascular Institute  
 of New York, which offers a full  
 spectrum  of  surgical  and  endovascular  
 methods  for  treatment  
 of  vascular  disorders,  
 working under the directorship  
 of world-renowned vascular  
 surgeon Dr. Enrico Ascher. 
 Dr. Marks is proud to be  
 part of the team.  
 “At the Vascular Institute  
 of New York, we strive to offer  
 each patient the most effective  
 and the least invasive diagnostic  
 and treatment options for  
 the  management  of  their  vascular  
 conditions,” she says. 
 Combining  expertise,  empathy, 
  and compassion, Dr.  
 Marks is able to provide her  
 patients with exceptional care,  
 treating  issues  such  as  varicose  
 veins, spider veins, nonhealing  
 wounds, peripheral  
 arterial  disease,  and  more  
 with  minimum  invasive  procedures. 
   
 “I am there for each patient, 
  every step of the way,”  
 she says. 
 She gladly discusses individual  
 cases  with  referring  
 physicians, and is available  
 to  see  patients  in  consultation, 
   actively  participating  in  
 perioperative care for those  
 undergoing various vascular  
 procedures. Together, the doctors  
 will  evaluate  all  patients’  
 comorbidities, assess all risks,  
 and  will  make  recommendations  
 for the most comprehensive  
 vascular care. 
 Like Dr. Ascher — who has  
 published more than 250 scientific  
 articles  in  medical  journals, 
  and more than 65 textbook  
 chapters — Dr. Marks, too, is a  
 leader in the field. She has authored  
 more than 100 scientific  
 articles in peer-reviewed journals  
 and 16 textbook chapters.  
 She  has  lectured  extensively  
 about various vascular topics,  
 sharing  expertise  with  peers  
 around the globe. 
 “She brings a new dimension  
 in  the  care  of  patients  
 with  vascular  diseases,”  says  
 Dr. Ascher. “She highlights  
 the  importance  of  medical  
 management to avoid surgery  
 whenever possible.” 
 Dr. Marks is skilled in all  
 the  latest  techniques  in  dealing  
 with  stroke  prevention,  
 aneurysms, peripheral arterial  
 disease, and in caring for  
 patients  with  conditions  that  
 cause leg pain and swelling.  
 Often leg swelling — a common  
 condition — is an indication  
 that veins are not working  
 properly.  
 The  Vascular  Institute  of  
 New York is a leader in the  
 care  of  limb  salvage,  developing  
 pioneering  techniques,  
 and  saving  limbs  that  others  
 thought couldn’t be saved.

 New York is a state-of-the-art  
 facility,  with  an  attractive  office  
 and highly trained staff  
 of professionals. Some of the  
 highlights include on-site fully  
 accredited and federally certified  
 operating room, recovery  
 room, staff anesthesiologist,  
 intravascular ultrasound, and  
 a state-of-the-art wound care  
 center. 
 “Our team strives to offer  
 each patient the most effective  
 and the least invasive diagnostic  
 and treatment options  
 for the management of their  
 vascular  conditions,”  says  Dr.  
 Marks. “We are committed to

 most up-to-date treatments for
