Vascular ultrasound is a painless, non-invasive imaging test that uses sound waves to check how well your blood flows through arteries and veins in different parts of your body. At Tinsley Surgical we use this technology to detect narrowing, blockages, blood clots, or other circulation problems, including issues related to atherosclerosis, leg blood flow, and aneurysms. Because it’s non-invasive and doesn’t use radiation, vascular ultrasound is a safe and convenient way to screen for vascular disease or monitor patients after procedures.
To schedule a vascular ultrasound or find out if it’s right for you please call (910) 769-2583.

Peripheral artery disease happens when plaque buildup narrows the arteries that supply blood to the legs and feet. This reduced circulation can cause pain, cramping, numbness, slow-healing wounds, and make walking or activity difficult. At Tinsley Surgical we specialize in diagnosing and treating PAD to improve blood flow, relieve pain, help wounds heal, and restore mobility, giving patients a chance to live more comfortably and stay active.
If poor circulation or leg pain affects you or someone you love call our office at (910) 769-2583 today.

"Fantastic from top to bottom. Health care as it should be. The entire team at Tinsley Surgical is friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate. Dr. Tinsley was phenomenal in caring for my elderly father- performing two highly successful surgeries on his failing legs due to PAD. Follow up office visits are always stress free due to the convenient location and beautiful and cheerful waiting room. Our many appointments always occurred at the scheduled time - or a few minutes early! A well-oiled machine. Highly recommended. Thanks to you all for the great care."
