Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD)

PAD is a serious condition that requires medical attention, but it’s also highly treatable, especially when caught early. While PAD itself can cause pain and mobility limitations, the bigger concern is what it indicates about your overall cardiovascular health. People with PAD have a significantly higher risk of heart attack and stroke, making treatment important for both symptom relief and long-term health protection.

While we can’t completely reverse the atherosclerosis that causes PAD, we can effectively restore blood flow and prevent the condition from worsening. Our treatments can dramatically improve symptoms and quality of life. Lifestyle changes like quitting smoking, getting regular exercise and a healthy diet can also help slow or stop disease progression.

Recovery time depends on which procedure is performed, but our minimally invasive treatments require only a few hours of observation before you can go home. Most patients can return to normal activities within just a few days, though we typically recommend avoiding heavy lifting or strenuous exercise for about one week.

Some patients achieve excellent results with a single procedure, while others may need additional treatments over time. This depends on factors like the extent of your disease, how well you respond to treatment and whether new blockages develop. We monitor all our patients closely and recommend follow-up treatments only when necessary.

Most insurance plans, including Medicare, cover medically necessary PAD treatments. Our team works closely with insurance providers to ensure you receive the coverage you’re entitled to, and we’ll discuss any out-of-pocket costs with you before treatment.
