Dr. English is a native of Baton Rouge, LA. He earned a bachelor's degree in physics from the College of Wooster, and he went on to earn his medical degree from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. He completed his General Surgery residency at the University of Michigan Health System, and he then went on to complete his Vascular Surgery fellowship at the Massachusetts General Hospital, a Harvard Medical School teaching hospital. Dr. English is board certified by the American Board of Surgery, and he is a Registered Physician in Vascular Interpretation.

Dr. English first took an academic position with Washington University in St. Louis, working at both the Barnes Jewish Hospital and the John Cochran VA Medical Center; while there, Dr. English grew a busy vascular surgery practice, and he also ran a successful, National Institutes of Health funded laboratory. Dr. English met his wife in St. Louis, and they started a family, having two children. Due to family needs, Dr. English relocated his wife and children to northern Alabama, where he also built a busy and successful practice. While in Alabama, Dr. English and his wife had their third child.

Dr. English is thrilled and honored to join the Coastal Vascular and Vein Center, and he looks forward providing comprehensive vascular care to the Charleston community and the region at large. Dr. English has extensive experience with state-of-the-art endovascular techniques, as we well as traditional, open surgical repair. Like his partners, Dr. English prides himself on taking a patient-specific approach, and his goal, in every case, is to provide the best possible result and outcome, with as minimally invasive an approach as possible.
