Board Certified Endovascular Specialist and Founder of Medicus Veincare

Steven Tidwell, M.D.After completing residencies in Internal Medicine and Diagnostic Radiology (1986-1991) at the University of Louisville, during which he received specific instruction in ultrasound technology, Dr. Tidwell completed a Vascular and Interventional Radiology fellowship at Boston University. In practice since 1992, his entire medical career has continued to focus on the vascular system, correcting irregularities such as blockages in the kidney, liver, or arteries non-surgically.

Dr. Tidwell founded Medicus Veincare in Jupiter, Florida to offer varicose and spider vein patients expert diagnosis, care and treatment that is unsurpassed in the palm beach and treasure coast areas. His patients appreciate his ability to accurately diagnose the treatment needed through ultrasound technology, as well as his years of expertise in vein treatment. These unique qualifications allow Dr. Tidwell to succeed in treating even the most difficult of varicose vein cases.

Steven Tidwell, M.D. is certified with the American Board of Radiology and is a member of the American College of Radiology, the American College of Phlebology, the Society of Interventional Radiology, and the Florida Radiologic society.
