Centralus Health, an affiliation of two community-based systems — Arnot Health and Cayuga Health — is proud to introduce Eric Choi, MD, a board-certified vascular surgeon who will serve patients at both organizations.
Dr. Choi completed his residency and fellowship with Barnes Jewish Hospital / Washington University School of Medicine. His areas of special interest include carotid artery disease, aortic aneurysm, and peripheral artery disease in the legs.
As the first physician specifically recruited by Centralus Health to care for patients at both Arnot and Cayuga in the communities they serve, Dr Choi brings both a wealth of experience as a vascular surgeon as well as an impressive list of leadership experience. Dr Choi will offer the full spectrum of vascular care throughout the region. Examples would be patients requiring special procedures to allow access for dialysis as well as patients with diminished circulation to their extremities who need either catheter interventions or operative procedures to improve their circulation.
“Dr. Choi joining Centralus Health is an example of how the affiliation of these organizations can provide even more and improved care to our community,” said Steven Heneghan, MD, Chief Medical Officer for Arnot Health. “While Cayuga Medical Center has had the ability to treat vascular problems, the addition of a vascular surgeon at Cayuga Medical Center further enhances the capabilities of the team of specialists working together to improve the vascular health of the Ithaca and surrounding communities.”
Appointments with Dr. Choi are by referral and can be made by contacting your primary care provider.
what our patients are saying
“I have to say the last couple visits that I’ve had here have been wonderful. About a month ago I had an EGD and the staff were amazing! Explained everything in detail and made me feel at ease. I was very nervous and the nurse I had was very comforting. Tonight we had to take my son to the emergency room and they were awesome with him! We got right in. “
“The staff and accommodations at Cayuga Birthplace are amazing!!! This is what it I imagine it would feel like to be a celebrity getting VIP treatment. I wish I could stay longer – even the food options are 5 Star! The amenities are great. Everything is clean and designed beautifully. Not a single complaint, only praises!”
“I have had many occasions visiting CMC for myself and family. We have never had a bad experience there at all. Last October I had surgery and the nurses were amazing especially my night nurse. Thank you to all CMC staff for doing what you do every day with a smile.”
“I have been a Hemo dialysis patient for almost Five years. Prior to dialysis and during dialysis I have had several trips to the ER, due to other health issues & was admitted to CMC more than a few times. Each and every time I’ve been there, whether in patient or out, I have been treated with respect, professionalism, and efficiency. I give this hospital 2 thumbs up!! Thank you CMC for taking care of me all these years!!”
