Determined to improve patient outcomes, Dr. O'Banion created a multidisciplinary team that included all the resources patients would need on their recovery journey. Having this access to a healthcare team helped her patient, Raymond, live his dream of walking his daughter down the aisle of her wedding after having his leg amputated.

September marks Peripheral Artery Disease Awareness Month (PAD).

PAD is often overlooked because it doesn't always present with symptoms, often leaving those who have it thinking that the cause of their leg pain is soreness or arthritis. It's essential to get screened and detect PAD and other vascular diseases early. Learn the risk factors by swiping through. 💡

We provide services and treatments for PAD and other vascular-related health concerns. Visit our website to learn more about our services and treatments, or call (559) 431-6226 to make an appointment to get screened.

It's not vain to treat varicose veins!

While varicose and spider veins can cause some health problems, many people choose to undergo treatments to alleviate the pain caused by them but also to improve the appearance of their legs or faces.

Roughly half of women and a quarter of men experience discomfort or cosmetic issues with their leg veins. This is often due to valve dysfunction, which causes pressure in the veins beneath the skin.

People of all ages and backgrounds can be affected by varicose and spider veins. And, while genetics play a significant role in this condition, other factors can also contribute to developing painful or visible veins, such as:
Pregnancy
Extended periods of standing
Hormonal changes
Wearing high heels
