Leg Pain

Many patients present to their physician with the complaint of leg pain. Sometimes it is a minor, self-limited injury. Often leg symptoms radiate from back pain or peripheral neuropathy in a diabetic patient, a far too common problem in Long Island. But leg pain, often associated with open ulcer wounds, could be from peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Another common cause of leg pain can be venous disease, two of the common conditions include varicose veins and deep venous thrombosis (DVT) 

In the current era of highly specialized medicine, the best outcomes are achieved when a patient can get to a comprehensive vascular expert early in their treatment. This specialist uniquely has the complete skill set to diagnose vascular disease and perform minimally invasive procedures and open surgery when needed.
