There are many reasons why the region's top physicians recommend Fairfax Vascular Center for their patients' procedures. Fairfax Vascular Center offers a broad range of minimally invasive procedures that are performed by our board-certified Interventional Radiologists on an outpatient basis.

Fairfax Vascular Center is accredited by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC) and the Intersocietal Accreditation Commission (IAC) for vein centers.
The Diagnostic Vascular Lab at Fairfax Radiological Consultants is fully accredited by both The Intersocietal Accreditation Commission (IAC) and the American College of Radiology (ACR) for the non-invasive testing of all peripheral arterial, extracranial cerebrovascular, venous and visceral diseases. Ultrasound is the imaging method used in studies and exams at the Diagnostic Vascular Lab. The lab is staffed by certified vascular (RVT) and ultrasound (RDMS) technologists.
