According to the Amputee Coalition, nearly 2 million Americans are living with limb loss. 54% of these amputations are due to vascular diseases, such as diabetes and PAD.

Healing wounds is like growing a garden: without proper and vital nutrients, you will not heal very well. As a vascular surgeon, it is my mission to do everything within my power to restore healthy blood flow, preserve limbs, and prevent amputations. 

Who is at risk?

Set up a visit as soon as possible if you:

• have diabetes
• have a history of PAD or vascular disease
• are bed-bound
• are overweight
• have high blood pressure or high cholesterol
• experienced trauma or injuries
• have a blood-clotting disorder
• have kidney or heart failure
• have atherosclerosis or vasculitis
• are pregnant or have varicose veins

What are chronic wounds?

Chronic wounds are non-healing and at risk for necrosis or amputation. The root cause of many chronic wounds is a blood flow restriction. Vascular surgery can save limbs from amputation while restoring blood flow throughout the body. 

Some examples of chronic wounds are:

• diabetic ulcers
• pressure ulcers
• trauma
• arterial ulcers
• venous ulcers
• post-surgical
