Daniel Han, MD

I am a native New Yorker, who grew up in Queens and completed all of my education in NYC (elementary to medical school, including vascular surgery residency). I believe that my surgical training across multiple high-volume centers throughout New York City has afforded me the opportunity to gain a technically diverse skill set in both open and endovascular surgery, develop a deeper understanding of the complexities of vascular diseases, and gain an appreciation for taking care of patients from this area. In addition to operating, I have a passion for teaching residents and students, as well as conducting my own research within vascular surgery.Clinically, I focus on all aspects of vascular surgery, including but not limited to peripheral arterial disease, dialysis access, aortic aneurysms and dissections, carotid disease, and venous pathology. I look forward to working with you in the future.

Dr. Bajakian comes to Columbia from Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City, where she was Clinical Assistant Professor of Surgery. She earned her MD degree in 1996 at SUNY Downstate College of Medicine in Brooklyn. She completed her internship and general surgery residency at Mount Sinai (1996-2001), her vascular surgery fellowship at New York University Medical Center (2002-2003), and a mini-fellowship focusing on endovascular surgery at the Cleveland Clinic in 2003. Her clinical specialties include endovascular techniques for treating peripheral arterial disease, aortic aneurysms, carotid artery disease, and lower extremity venous insufficiency. Her research interests focus on novel techniques for restoring circulation to the ischemic limb including angioplasty, atherectomy, and stent placement.
