Priya Thirumlai, MD, FACS, shifted from labor wards to laser fibers through systematic study—conferences, mentorships and hundreds of duplex scans. “The transition wasn’t easy—I pursued specialized training in lower leg venous disease and minimally invasive interventions and gradually shifted my practice toward vein care,” she recalls.
That dedication now powers a thriving practice where careful ultrasound mapping guides therapies including EVLA, RFA and foam sclerotherapy. She’s known for diagnosing underrecognized conditions such as May-Thurner syndrome, helping patients who’ve gone years without answers. Colleagues admire her precision and calm expertise; patients value her clarity and care.
Dr. Thirumlai’s path proves a career can be successfully reinvented with curiosity, patience, and purpose without losing the values that shaped it.
