Dr. Lynskey founded National Vascular Physicians with Dr. Kim to bring greater access to the most advanced, personalized, top level care that is unbound from the typical frustrations of the hospital setting. His philosophy of care comes from his experience both as a patient and from treating thousands of patients at their most vulnerable times in life. He believes that treating his patients as if they were his own family and spending the time necessary to give a clear explanation of all the options leads to the best outcomes for patients and families.

Dr. Lynskey particularly enjoys spending time with his wife and three young sons as they raise their family in the DC Metro Area.
