Peripheral Artery Disease silently narrows the arteries in your legs — we diagnose, treat and reverse it in a single in-office visit at our North Bergen OBL.
PAD is a build-up of plaque inside the arteries that carry blood to your legs and feet. As the arteries narrow, less oxygen reaches the muscles and tissue — at first only when you walk, and eventually even at rest. The same disease process is happening in the arteries of your heart and brain, which is why PAD is also a strong warning sign for heart attack and stroke.
The good news: catch it early and PAD is almost always treatable without major surgery. Lifestyle changes, the right medication, and minimally invasive angioplasty or stent placement can restore blood flow and let you walk pain-free again — often within days.

No. PAD is gradual plaque build-up that narrows an artery over years. A blood clot is a sudden blockage. PAD patients are at higher risk for clots, which is why early treatment matters.
For most patients, no. Modern PAD care uses minimally invasive angioplasty, stents or atherectomy through a tiny catheter — performed under local anesthesia in our office. You go home the same day.
Many patients notice their walking distance double within a week of revascularization, and pain at rest typically resolves within days. Full benefit is reached over 4–6 weeks alongside a walking program.
No. PAD is a marker of systemic atherosclerosis — the same disease process that causes heart attacks and strokes. Diagnosing and treating PAD reduces those risks meaningfully.
Medicare and virtually all commercial plans cover diagnostic ABI testing, vascular ultrasound and medically necessary intervention. Our concierge verifies your coverage before the visit.
Most patients have a follow-up ultrasound at 1 month, 6 months, and annually thereafter to confirm the artery stays open and to address risk factors that could drive new disease.
Names changed where requested. Every quote below comes from a patient seen at one of our Hudson County locations.
“I could not walk to the mailbox without sitting down. Two days after the procedure I was up to a quarter mile. I cannot believe I waited this long to get it checked.”
“No hospital stay, no general anesthesia, no months of waiting. I had the angiogram in the morning and was home for dinner.”
“The team explained every step. I’m back to my morning walks with my grandkids — that’s worth everything to me.”
PAD is treatable, and the earlier it’s caught the better. A vascular evaluation takes one visit and is covered by Medicare and most commercial plans.
