Excellence in Care

GARY W. LEMMON, MD, FACS

His vision for vascular care was realized when the Samaritan Vascular Institute opened in 2001. His efforts on behalf of patients contributed to his recent recognition by Good Samaritan Hospital with the "Physicians Making a Difference" distinction. Dr. Lemmon is a vascular surgeon and Associate Professor of Surgery at Wright State University School of Medicine. He is the author of multiple grants, publications, and textbook chapters; he is active in many medical organizations and is the founding president of Dayton Vascular Surgical Society.
