lthough everybody knows about heart disease and cancer as leading causes of death and disability in this country, most people are unaware of vascular disease. This is even though 20-30 million people are at risk for various vascular diseases including stroke, aortic aneurysms, and peripheral artery disease. These cause more deaths than any cancer . Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the United States and the most common diagnosis of people entering nursing homes. At South Bay Vascular Center we are dedicated to screening, evaluating, and treating those affected with arterial and venous problems. We are devoted to making the experience as informative, comprehensive , and painless as possible. We are interested not only in helping those who already have a vascular problem, but those who are concerned about having one because of family history or risk factors. We will work with you and your primary doctor to help control these risk factors and to improve all aspects of cardiovascular health.

An even larger number of people, about 50 million, are afflicted by varicose veins or venous insufficiency. We have a special interest in venous issues- whether they are small spider veins that prevent someone from going to summer pool parties for cosmetic reasons or severe problems with nonhealing wounds from blood clots. Varicose veins and leg pain are never just “signs of aging”. We are careful to listen to your concerns and complaints about these and address them in a competent and caring manner. We always feel honored that you have chosen us to help you.
