Specialty
Vein & Vascular
Cold feet, numb toes, slow-healing skin — not just “getting older.” Our vascular team finds the cause and restores blood flow, usually in one visit.
Poor circulation is a symptom, not a single disease — it can be caused by narrowed arteries (PAD), venous insufficiency, blood-vessel inflammation, or a combination. The first job is to figure out which one is yours, because each requires a different fix.
Most cases respond beautifully to a combination of focused medication, simple lifestyle changes, and (when warranted) a minimally invasive procedure to open a narrowed artery or close a leaking vein. The goal is the same: get warm, oxygen-rich blood reliably reaching your fingertips and toes again.

Structured follow-ups, surveillance imaging and risk-factor coaching.
Real, specific answers from our team. If your question is not here, our front desk can usually answer it in a 5-minute phone call.
Arterial problems usually cause cold, pale skin and pain that gets worse with walking. Venous problems usually cause swelling, heaviness and skin discoloration that gets worse with standing. A 30-minute ultrasound tells us which (or both).
In most cases, yes. Restoring blood flow with focused treatment plus risk-factor control reverses the visible symptoms — warmer feet, better walking distance, faster wound healing — usually within weeks.
It depends on the cause. Some patients need long-term statins or antiplatelets to keep arteries open. Others only need a one-time procedure plus lifestyle changes.
It can be. PAD in the legs predicts heart attack and stroke risk. Catching circulation problems early is genuinely protective for the whole body.
Walk daily — even 10–15 minutes helps. Quit smoking. Elevate legs if you have swelling. Keep diabetes and blood pressure controlled. We’ll build a personalized plan with you.
Yes — diagnostic ultrasound and ABI are covered by Medicare and virtually all commercial plans when symptoms are documented. We verify before your visit.
Names changed where requested. Every quote below comes from a patient seen at one of our Hudson County locations.
“My feet were freezing year-round. After the procedure and the right medication, I sleep without socks for the first time in five years.”
“They explained the difference between artery and vein in plain English. Once I knew what was wrong, fixing it felt simple.”
“The whole evaluation took less than an hour. I left with a clear plan and the swelling was gone within two weeks.”
A non-invasive vascular check tells you exactly what’s slowing your circulation. Most plans are corrected in a single in-office visit.
