About Geoffrey L. Risley, MD
Geoffrey L. Risley, M.D. is a Florida native, born and raised in Ft. Myers, Florida. He attended the University of Florida for his undergraduate and medical degrees. He traveled to the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill for his General Surgery residency and Vascular Surgery fellowship. After completing his Vascular Surgery fellowship, Dr. Risley joined a prestigious practice in La Jolla, CA where he received additional training in advanced venous treatment with one of the "fathers" of venous surgery, Dr. John Bergan.
Dr. Risley returned to Florida where he reunited with his college sweetheart, Teresa. Dr. Risley and Teresa were married in 2003 and he started a practice in Jacksonville, FL. Dr. Risley has remained on the "cutting-edge" of vascular surgery his entire career. He was integral in introducing endovascular aneurysm repair to the private practice community and trained hundreds of surgeons, radiologists, and cardiologists across the nation in the use of endovascular stent grafts to treat AAA in a minimally invasive fashion.
Upon his return to Florida, he continued as a leader in the adoption of new technology introducing laser and radiofrequency ablation of the greater saphenous vein to Orlando and Jacksonville communities. Dr. Risley has introduced the use of peripheral atherectomy and novel percutaneous access sites for the treatment of severe peripheral arterial disease that often has been deemed untreatable by other physicians.
Dr. Risley has been actively involved in the treatment of carotid disease through angioplasty and stent trials and was the first physician in Jacksonville and one of the first in Florida to use the trans carotid artery revascularization (TCAR) system for the treatment of carotid stenosis disease, aneurysmal disease, venous disease, and chronic lower extremity wounds.
Dr. Risley, Teresa, and their then 13-year-old son are excited to relocate to Northwest Florida. The Risley family enjoys everything about the water and being outdoors. Boating, paddle boarding, surfing, fishing, and scuba diving are some of their favorite activities. The entire family is excited to join the Medical and Social Community of Ft. Walton Beach and the Emerald Coast.
