Beebe Vascular joins Beebe Medical Group multispecialty practice

Dr. Mayer Katz, board certified in vascular surgery, has joined Beebe Medical Group’s newly formed Beebe Vascular. The practice in Lewes (formerly Delaware Bay Surgical Service) continues to treat both existing and new patients. A satellite location of Beebe Vascular also has opened in Ocean View and is planned for Millsboro and Milford. The central office continues to be in Lewes, and the telephone number is 302-644-4954.

Katz is joined in the practice by Dr. Carlos Neves and Dr. Sean Ryan, both fellowship-trained in vascular and endovascular surgery.

With the addition of Beebe Vascular, Beebe Medical Group, the employed physician medical group under Beebe Healthcare, continues its expansion, and currently comprises 18 medical specialties in 25 locations throughout southern Delaware, with more than 101 medical providers and 151 support staff.

“We are pleased to welcome Drs. Katz, Neves and Ryan into Beebe Medical Group,” said Dr. George Jirak, president and CEO of Beebe Medical Group. “Dr. Katz has made a tremendous contribution to our community and has been a member of the Beebe Medical Staff for many years. He established Beebe Healthcare’s vascular program in 1990, introduced important surgical and endovascular procedures to this area, and has improved the quality of life of thousands of our patients.

“Drs. Neves and Ryan have recently completed fellowships in vascular surgery, and bring their experience and knowledge to Beebe Vascular, the only medical practice in southern Delaware devoted solely to treating vascular disease.”
