Your legs are telling you something. Maybe it’s that cramping pain when you walk to the mailbox. Or that small cut that just won’t heal. These might seem like small things, but they could be signs of something bigger.
Getting the right diagnosis for vascular problems can change everything. We’ve seen it happen countless times here in Bakersfield over the past 20 years.
Vascular disease is sneaky. It doesn’t announce itself with fanfare. Instead, it whispers through small changes you might not even notice at first.
PAD affects more than 12 million people in America. That’s more than all types of cancer put together. Yet many folks have no idea they have it.
Here’s what to watch for:
People often think these are just part of getting older. But they’re not. They’re your body asking for help.
When vascular problems go unnoticed, they get worse. What starts as minor discomfort can turn into serious trouble:
But here’s the good news. When caught early, we can prevent 80% of amputations. That’s huge. Signs that ulcers on your leg need vascular attention show up long before things get critical.
Getting the right answer takes time and care. It’s not about rushing through tests. It’s about understanding what’s happening in your body.
We look at everything:
Each person is one‑of‑a‑kind, so a remedy that works for one patient may not work for another. That’s why we thoroughly explore your particular circumstances.
Dr. Vinod Kumar has been caring for vascular health since 1992, training at premier institutions such as UCLA and Baylor. What truly matters is his way of treating every patient like family.
Our team also includes providers like Gerardo Murguia, who patients love for taking the time to really listen.
The experience makes a difference:
Modern technology enables us to perceive what was once unseen. It lets us identify issues early, when they’re easier to remedy, resulting in better outcomes and fewer complications.
What this means for you:
You don’t need to go to a hospital for most vascular care. We handle diagnosis and treatment right here in our comfortable office.
This works better because:
Vascular problems don’t fix themselves. They get worse over time. It’s better to catch them earlier because that way we’d have more options to help you!
