Specialists from several departments, including dermatology, radiology, reconstructive surgery, genetics, pathology, hematology, ophthalmology and orthopaedics work together to appropriately diagnose and treat vascular anomalies.

The team meets regularly for case-discussions regarding patients, as well as to discuss ongoing matters related to vascular anomalies.  Through ongoing research activities, these physicians are working to significantly contribute to scientific literature and explore more effective means of diagnostic tools and alternative treatment options.
