About John Walter York

Dr. John York is a vascular surgeon with Prisma Health. Born and raised in Thomasville, North Carolina, he earned his medical degree from East Carolina University in Greenville, North Carolina. He completed his general surgery residency within the Greenville Health System and went on to complete his vascular surgery fellowship at the Ochsner Clinic Foundation in New Orleans. He previously practiced on staff in Greenville for 12 years before returning to the vascular surgery department.

Dr. York specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases affecting the vascular system, including conditions that impair blood flow to the body and those related to plaque buildup in the arteries, which can lead to stroke and other vascular complications. His clinical expertise includes both surgical and endovascular approaches aimed at restoring circulation and improving patient outcomes. He is particularly motivated by the ability to achieve immediate, visible improvements in blood flow following intervention.

He emphasizes the importance of lifestyle modification in managing vascular disease, particularly addressing risk factors such as smoking, hypertension, diabetes, and high cholesterol.

Outside of work, Dr. York enjoys golfing and fishing.

    Everyone was professional, knowledgeable, and kind. I was very impressed by the ultrasound technician's mentoring of a student during the procedure. Dr. York listened to me and allayed my concerns.

    Yes, there was nothing more that y'all could do. Y'all had answered all the questions. We had been treated with respect, kindness, and got appointments as soon as they were available. We are highly recommending y'all to anybody we know. Thank you.

    Well, first of all, to instill more trust, the first thing the doctor asked me when he came into the office was, what was I doing there? Second of all, he gave me contradictory information on the prognosis, and that would have been a good way to start.
