Meet the Team

American Endovascular’s senior leadership team is comprised of several talented healthcare executives who deliver exceptional care for patients with peripheral artery disease and other endovascular conditions. They have years of experience and knowledge in the vascular and interventional radiology field and PAD treatment.

Raymond D. Figueroa

CEO, American Endovascular & Amputation Prevention

Raymond Figueroa is a highly accomplished senior healthcare executive with in-depth experience in all facets of healthcare administration. He brings the credentials of a clinical provider, Chief Executive Officer, and entrepreneur to a field that is facing unprecedented challenges.

With more than 20 years working as a healthcare CEO, he has repeatedly built healthcare organizations that provide high quality patient care, while delivering high rates of return to physicians, private equity firms, and investors.

In 2001, Mr. Figueroa founded and launched American Access Care to provide viable, cost-effective alternatives to costly inpatient surgical procedures. The company operated 45 freestanding interventional radiology centers in 12 states. Providing these services in an outpatient setting has not only saved more than $1B in Medicare funds, but has also enhanced the quality of care of ESRD patients.

Israel Schur, MD

Medical Director, American Endovascular & Amputation Prevention

Dr. Israel Schur is one of the most accomplished interventional radiologists in the nation. He came to American Endovascular after serving as Medical Director of Endovascular Surgery and Interventional Radiology at American Access Care Physicians in New York City for over fifteen years. A true innovator, Dr. Schur holds nine US patents for Interventional Radiology and Endovascular Surgery devices. 

Several of Dr. Schur’s original and pioneering publications in the field of Vascular and Interventional Radiology have been cited by The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
