Dr. Jennifer Thomas is a native to the Northeast Georgia/Upstate South Carolina area. She grew up in Toccoa, GA, then went to Emory University in Atlanta where she received her B.S. in Biology with Highest Honors, as well as her medical degree. She then moved to Dallas, TX, where she completed a general surgery residency at the University of Texas Southwestern program, the largest such training program in the country. At that point, she decided to focus on vascular surgery, and finished her training in the vascular fellowship at Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte, NC. This is where she met and married her husband Brad, an attorney.

Dr. Thomas became a board-certified vascular surgeon in 2009 and stayed in Charlotte to begin her career at Presbyterian Hospital. She relocated to Anderson in 2011 to be closer to family and joined AnMed. After years of working in hospitals treating life- and limb-threatening vascular conditions, she joined Anderson Heart & Vascular, PC, in June of 2017. Dr. Thomas now specializes in the treatment of venous insufficiency, offering the latest varicose veins treatments in the comfort of her office. 

Dr. Thomas chose to expand her practice into the wellness space following years of seeing how better vascular health improved overall health. She became interested in providing treatments that complimented her existing vein practice after hearing her patient's concerns over aging and maintaining better health. With new breakthroughs in wellness and longevity, patients can be empowered to lead longer lives, full of strength and energy. Dr. Thomas’s goal is to keep patients well proactively – not to wait until they are sick to intervene. AHV Vein & Wellness Center is the advancement of this goal, using vascular-based knowledge and technology to improve patients’ overall health, appearance, and quality of life.
