Sarah Lighthizer, DO

Dr Karani decided to become a vascular surgeon because of the integration between patient care, variety of pathology, fine surgical techniques, use of technological advancements and imaging modalities. It gives her the opportunity to treat patients from all backgrounds and a multitude of medical conditions. She enjoys giving her patients both surgical and non-surgical options to treat their vascular conditions. In her life, Dr Karani says her family has been the biggest influence. Her parents' work ethic and drive set the foundation for her professionally and her sisters' support and encouragement helped her to pursue a fulfilling career.
