Services
Vascular and Endovascular Surgery
We treat complex vascular conditions including aortic aneurysms, carotid stenosis, and peripheral arterial disease using advanced surgical and minimally invasive techniques. Our fellowship-trained surgeons perform procedures like angioplasty, stenting, and atherectomy in our accredited office-based lab. Patients benefit from same-day treatments without hospital admission, utilizing technologies such as drug-eluting balloons and intra-vascular ultrasound for improved outcomes.
VeinCare of Wilmington
Specializing in cosmetic and medical vein care, we address varicose veins, spider veins, and chronic venous insufficiency through ultrasound-guided ablations and sclerotherapy. Our treatments use radiofrequency energy, polidocanol injections, and mechanical-chemical methods to relieve pain and improve appearance. Procedures are performed in-office with minimal downtime, covered by most insurance plans, and tailored to each patient's vascular health needs.
Prosthetic Care Center
Our integrated prosthetic care combines surgical expertise with custom prosthetic design for amputees. Certified prosthetists collaborate directly with vascular surgeons to create personalized prostheses using advanced materials and technologies like microprocessor-controlled limbs. The program includes free consultations, joint evaluations, and long-term support to ensure optimal comfort, functionality, and adaptation to patients' lifestyles and medical conditions.
Vascular Ultrasound Laboratory
Accredited by the Intersocietal Accreditation Commission, our lab provides non-invasive vascular testing for conditions like deep vein thrombosis and arterial disease. We perform carotid, renal, and extremity artery studies using duplex ultrasound technology to guide treatment decisions. Results are immediately available during office visits, enabling prompt diagnosis and eliminating the need for invasive testing in many cases.
Wound Care Center
We specialize in treating non-healing lower extremity wounds caused by vascular insufficiency using advanced diagnostic tools and therapeutic technologies. Our approach combines vascular interventions with specialized wound care protocols to address both the underlying circulatory issues and tissue repair. The program targets patients with diabetes, venous insufficiency, or arterial disease to prevent complications and improve healing outcomes.

Dr. Boyes and his staff are awesome! I went in and not only learned why I was getting varicose veins, but they came up with a treatment plan, worked with my insurance company and in just a couple weeks everything looks perfect. Thank you!

I was suffering swelling in my leg and consulted Dr. Boyes and his staff for treatment options. Even though the office is busy I was able to schedule an appointment within a couple of days of my request. The office staff was very warm, polite and professional and the facility is very clean and efficient and they accept my insurance plan. I was examined by the doctor who is a very skilled vascular surgeon with a warm bedside manner that allowed him to explain each procedure fully to my satisfaction.
The surgeon treated my condition without pain or inconvenience. I was pleasantly surprised with my entire experience and wouldn't hesitate to return or recommend Coastal Vein to my family and friends.

I am so happy I was referred to Dr. Boyes. After just a few weeks of treatment for my varicose veins I was impressed with how quickly and painlessly he took care of my vein issues. I found his staff to be extremely knowledgeable, compassionate and so friendly. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dr. Boyce. A few of my doctors said he was the best and I couldn't agree more. It is truly a five star practice!
