Vascular surgeon joins Griffin Faculty Physicians in Shelton

SHELTON - Griffin Faculty Physicians is pleased to welcome Dr. Michael Sergi, MS, MD, FACS, a highly skilled and experienced vascular surgeon, to its multi-specialty medical group.


Dr. Sergi brings more than 20 years of experience as a board-certified vascular surgeon, recently serving as a member of The Vascular Experts. 

His attentive approach has helped him to build lasting relationships with patients managing chronic and progressive vascular disease, helping them improve circulation, mobility and alleviate painful symptoms. 

He specializes in vascular disease evaluation and management, venous disease, vein treatment, and complex wound care.

“I was drawn to medicine because I’ve always liked fixing things and helping people,” Dr. Sergi said. “My father was a surgeon, and being around medicine early on showed me the kind of impact it can have. One of the things that makes vascular surgery unique is continuity of care. These conditions are often chronic and progressive, so I’m not just treating a single event. I’m following patients over time, monitoring how things change, and helping decide what needs to happen next.”


Dr. Sergi earned his medical degree at New York Medical College. He completed his residency at St. Vincent's Hospital Manhattan and was fellowship-trained at Yale-New Haven Hospital. 

He has an extensive background in vascular disease research, with peer-reviewed publications. 

In addition to his clinical and research work, Dr. Sergi has contributed to medical education as a faculty member at the Frank H. Netter MD School of Medicine at Quinnipiac University, where he has been involved in training medical students in vascular and surgical principles.

He was named a Connecticut Magazine Top Doctor from 2021-2025.


Dr. Sergi is currently seeing patients at Griffin Faculty Physicians Vascular Medicine, located in the Ivy Brook Medical Center, 2 Ivy Brook Road, Suite 105, Shelton. 

For more information or to make an appointment, visit https://gfp.griffinhealth.org/specialty-care/vascular-medicine or call 203-635-6292.


Griffin Faculty Practice provides patient-centered, personalized care with primary care locations in Ansonia, Naugatuck, Seymour, Shelton, Southbury and Oxford. 

In addition, the practice provides specialized care in urology, rheumatology, OB-GYN, cardiology, cardiac electrophysiology, gastroenterology, cardiothoracic surgery, breast surgery, general surgery, and endocrinology.
