We care about educating our patients about their procedures to ease their mind.

Education is key in catching symptoms early and preventing future issues.

Are You at Risk for Peripheral Arterial Disease?

As many as 12 million Americans have Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) and 50% of people with PAD do not experience symptoms! PAD is a condition in which the arteries that carry blood to the legs and feet become blocked from the build up of plaque. If you have PAD, you are at greater risk of having a heart attack or stroke.

If you answer yes to any of the following questions, you may benefit from a screening to detect if you have PAD.

Age 65 years or older
Age > 50 years and history of smoking or diabetes
Age < 50 years with diabetes and one other risk factor such as: smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol
History of vascular disease, heart attack, or stroke
Discomfort, cramping or pain in the legs or buttocks when walking
Painful sores or ulcers on the legs or feet that are not healing

Treatment

Patients can be assured that they will get the best treatment for their particular need. We form long term relationships with our patients built on trust and open communication of all their options for vascular care. Some patients need one procedure, some need multiple and others need no surgery at all. Because of our extensive training, we offer multiple options to treat vascular disease:

Bypass surgery
Endovascular or ‘minimally invasive’ procedures:
- Angioplasty
- Stent
- Atherectomy
Medical management and surveillance alongside your primary care physician
