Our facility uses state-of-the-art procedures to treat Peripheral Artery Disease. We carefully evaluate each patient to formulate an individualized treatment plan. Our treatment goals are to: 1) Manage symptoms, such as leg pain, so that you can resume physical activities to improve mobility and overall quality of life, and 2) Stop the progression throughout your body to reduce your risk of heart attack and stroke and prevent complications. Treatment is based on your signs and symptoms, risk factors, and the results of physical exams and tests.
