Amy B. Reed, MD, FACS — Vascular Surgery

Who are you, in one plain sentence?

Dr. Amy B. Reed is a vascular surgeon currently at Tidelands Health in Murrells Inlet, South Carolina — a career academic vascular surgeon who has held leadership roles at the University of Cincinnati, Penn State, the University of Minnesota, and the Society for Vascular Surgery, but whose current practice is community vascular surgery rather than a dedicated congenital vascular anomaly program.

Important note — significant career transition

This entry reflects a practitioner whose career has moved significantly since the original 2020 Born Rare directory entry. At the time of the original listing, Dr. Reed was at the University of Cincinnati as Director of the Vascular Surgery Fellowship Program and Assistant Professor of Surgery. She subsequently moved to University of Illinois, then to University of Minnesota as Division Chief and Professor (departing July 2023), and is now at Tidelands Health in coastal South Carolina. Her current setting is a community health system rather than an academic VA center. This entry is listed at Confidence Tier 2 — her expertise as an academic vascular surgeon is real, but her current practice scope for congenital vascular anomalies requires direct verification before scheduling.

Where do you practice and how do I reach you?

Tidelands Health · Murrells Inlet / Myrtle Beach area, South Carolina. Worth confirming current contact information and whether congenital vascular anomaly cases are within the current scope of her practice at Tidelands Health.
