The Vein Institute
P. Kyle Summers
DO; Vein Specialist
Dr. Kyle Summers, triple board-certified in general surgery, cosmetic surgery, and facial
cosmetic surgery, is excited to join The Vein Institute family. “It is an honor to join such a
wonderful group. The care provided is exceptional, and the ancillary staff are second to none.”
Born and raised in rural Northern Utah, Dr. Summers developed a strong work ethic and
appreciation for dedication, perseverance, and service from an early age while helping with the
many responsibilities of a family farm. Outside of farm life, he could be found participating in
sports, working in the woodshop, or spending time with family and friends. After high school,
Dr. Summers spent two years serving a church-related mission in Guatemala, where he became
fluent in Spanish and gained a deep appreciation for different cultures and communities.
Dr. Summers’ path to medicine began after returning from Guatemala and attending the
University of Utah, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Physiology and was
recognized on the Dean’s List for his academic achievements. “I have always been fascinated by
the human body—its incredible ability to heal and adapt. This naturally led me to pursue
medicine, a field that is as dynamic and remarkable as the human body itself.”
He earned his medical degree from the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine, where he
excelled in neuromuscular medicine and developed a strong foundation in hands-on healing.
Understanding the importance of treating patients with both knowledge and skill, Dr. Summers
served as President of the neuromuscular medicine chapter and represented the school at various
national meetings.
Following medical school, Dr. Summers moved to Long Island, New York, where he completed
five years of rigorous general surgery training. His education included extensive experience with
vascular surgical teams, providing him with comprehensive exposure to complex surgical care.
Throughout his residency, Dr. Summers became known for his compassion, leadership, and
surgical expertise, ultimately serving as Chief Resident during his final year of training. His
commitment to advancing surgical knowledge and improving patient outcomes is reflected in his
published research on breast cancer and innovations in breast cancer treatment. He also received
special recognition for his outstanding service during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Dr. Summers later completed fellowship training in general and facial cosmetic surgery at
Southern Surgical Arts. His broad surgical background gives him a unique perspective on
treating venous disease, blending a detailed knowledge of anatomy with precise surgical
technique and attention to aesthetic outcomes. He is committed to providing each patient with
honest guidance, compassionate care, and individualized treatment.
Dr. Summers, his wife Amanda, and their two sets of twins are proud to call Chattanooga home.
Outside of caring for patients and spending time with his family, Dr. Summers enjoys
woodworking,critiquing movies, working out and exploring the beauty of the great outdoors.
