Biography
Dr. Addi Rizvi is a board-certified vascular surgeon who provides comprehensive care for patients with a wide range of vascular conditions, including abdominal aortic aneurysms, carotid artery disease, peripheral arterial disease, mesenteric vascular disease, dialysis access needs and venous disease. He uses both minimally invasive procedures and traditional surgical techniques to develop treatment plans tailored to each patient’s individual needs.
Drawn to medicine by his love of science, Dr. Rizvi discovered a passion for surgery early in his training. Encouraged by a mentor, he pursued vascular surgery for its blend of technical precision, problem-solving and meaningful patient connections.
“What I enjoy most about vascular surgery is helping patients navigate challenging medical conditions and working toward the best possible outcomes,” says Dr. Rizvi. “I believe it’s important to sit down with each patient, explain their condition in a kind and understandable way, and make sure they feel informed and comfortable with their care.”
Dr. Rizvi practiced at the Minneapolis Heart Institute at Abbott Northwestern Hospital in Minneapolis, Minnesota, from 2008 to 2015, followed by the Providence Vascular Institute at Sacred Heart Medical Center in Spokane, Washington, from 2015 to 2026.
Outside of work, Dr. Rizvi enjoys spending time with his wife, who is also a physician, and their three active children. Together, they enjoy alpine skiing, spending time at the lake, hiking and fishing.
