Thomas Dale Creeden

Thomas Creeden specializes in vascular surgery and cardiovascular surgery, focusing on conditions that affect blood vessels and circulation throughout the body. He treats patients with peripheral artery disease, which occurs when arteries become narrowed or blocked, reducing blood flow to the limbs. Creeden also provides care for claudication, a condition that causes leg pain during walking due to poor circulation, and helps patients address tobacco use disorder, which significantly impacts vascular health.

Creeden practices at Mercy Clinic Vascular Specialists in Springfield, Missouri. He performs Doppler ultrasound examinations to evaluate blood flow in vessels and detect blockages or narrowing. His services include carotid artery ultrasounds to assess the risk of stroke by examining the major arteries in the neck. Creeden also conducts ankle-brachial index tests, which help diagnose peripheral artery disease by comparing blood pressure measurements between the arms and legs.
