Dr. Victor Bilman

My 92-year-old grandmother developed critical limb ischemia and was facing amputation. Dr. Bilman performed an innovative angioplasty that restored blood flow to her foot. She celebrated her 93rd birthday walking independently, calling him 'the magician who saved my dancing feet'.

During my mountain climbing expedition in Nepal, I developed acute compartment syndrome from altitude sickness. Medevaced to Sheba, Dr. Bilman performed emergency fasciotomy at 3 AM. His calm expertise saved my leg from amputation, and I've since summited three more peaks.

Our 7-year-old daughter was born with Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome, causing painful vascular abnormalities. Dr. Bilman developed a multi-stage treatment plan combining laser therapy and sclerotherapy. She now participates in gymnastics and no longer hides her affected limb.

As a professional cellist, the developing aneurysm in my subclavian artery threatened both my life and livelihood. Dr. Bilman's precision endovascular repair through a tiny incision preserved all nerve function. I performed at Carnegie Hall three months post-op.

As a 28-year-old professional dancer, discovering I had a rare vascular malformation in my leg threatened my career. Dr. Bilman pioneered a minimally invasive procedure using targeted embolization that preserved full mobility. I was back on stage in 6 weeks, dancing without pain for the first time in years.
