Tiffany Y. Wu, MD

Dr. Tiffany Wu is a board-certified Vascular Surgeon specializing in minimally invasive vascular surgery, advanced endovascular surgery, percutaneous peripheral interventions, and venous disease. She serves as the Vascular Surgery Section Chair at Providence St. Joseph Hospital and is a partner at Vascular & Interventional Specialists of Orange County. Dr. Wu pursued her Vascular Surgery fellowship at Stanford University, where she gained comprehensive experience in treating a wide range of vascular surgical conditions, with a particular focus on cutting-edge endovascular and minimally invasive techniques. Before her time at Stanford, she underwent her surgical training at Huntington Hospital, a private affiliate of the University of Southern California, where she also earned her medical degree. She started her academic journey by receiving a Bachelor of Arts degree in Chemistry from Harvard University. Dr. Wu believes in a tailored approach to the specific needs of each patient to ensure the highest quality of care. She values the progression of medicine through the application of new techniques and innovations. These technological advancements are one of the many reasons she became interested in Vascular Surgery, and she applies these new methodologies to the treatment of her patients.
