Peripheral artery disease (also called peripheral arterial disease) is a common circulatory problem in which narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to your limbs.
LEG PAIN (CLAUDICATION)
Claudication is pain caused by too little blood flow. Sometimes called intermittent claudication, this condition generally affects the blood vessels in the legs, but can affect the arms, too.
CAROTID ARTERY STENOSIS
Carotid artery stenosis occurs when fatty deposits (plaque) clog the blood vessels that deliver blood to your brain and head (carotid arteries).
VARICOSE VEINS
Varicose veins are twisted, enlarged veins. Any superficial vein may become varicosed, but the veins most commonly affected are those in your legs.
VARICOSE AND SPIDER VEINS
The Difference
What is the difference between varicose and spider veins?
Varicose veins are enlarged veins that appear twisted and bulging. They are usually swollen and distended past the skin’s surface. Varicose veins may appear as bluish bumps and cause varying degrees of discomfort.
Spider veins are tiny visible vessels within the skin. They most commonly develop on the face and legs.What causes varicose veins?
Failure of the one-way valves in veins allows blood to lead backwards causing congestion and enlargement of the vessel. This failure may occur in individual veins themselves; however in approximately 70% of cases saphenous reflux is present. This vein must be treated as well for successful vein treatment.
Contributing factors may include heredity, pregnancy, hormonal changes, being overweight, standing or sitting for long periods of time, advancing age or injury to the vein.Patient Testimonials

James Ardnt
This place has #1 doctors in Alabama! All Staff here are great, friendly, accurate, very informative, and they do awesome work. I will forever recommend this place. They are also pretty fast at getting you in and out without having you waiting for hours. The Doctor saved my Mother’s leg after being told by several other doctors that they had to amputate. The Doctor here put stints in and only had to remove a toe so he made a big difference and she still has her leg thanks to these awesome people.
