Our Mission
At Palm Vascular Centers of the Treasure Coast, we focus exclusively on peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and its more deadly form, critical limb ischemia (CLI).
We are aware of the unfortunate truth that PAD is poorly understand and under-diagnosed; for this reason, we have dedicated ourselves to educating physicians, medical care providers, patients, and families of this disease entity and the potentially lethal complications if not recognized and treated appropriately. We also pride ourselves in accurate diagnoses and superior personalized treatment of the condition in a concerted effort to prevent limb loss and loss of life.
We look forward to the opportunity to assist and educate you and your family members in a personal, professional way while helping you regain comfort in your daily activities.
Catching Peripheral Arterial Disease early is important
PAD Patients are at more than 6 times the risk of death from coronary heart disease as those without PAD. If you're experiencing symptoms, see a doctor.
During your initial visit we will:
- Learn about your medical history and symptoms
- Perform a comprehensive vascular physical
- Perform an ultrasound to see vasculature (if necessary)
- Discuss treatment options and next steps
Important PAD & CLI Facts
Eight million Americans suffer from PAD.
160,000+ amputations occur every year in in U.S. as a result of untreated PAD.
54% of those amputation patients never even received a diagnostic angiogram.
Angiograms reduce the odds of amputation by 90%
