If you’ve been diagnosed with a potentially serious health issue such as an aneurysm, atherosclerosis, or peripheral arterial disease (PAD), chances are good that you’ll be referred to a vascular surgeon who can help you make the right choice for your circumstance. However, if you’ve noticed symptoms of varicose or spider veins but have yet to speak to a healthcare provider, you may wonder
When searching for information online, there tends to be a great deal of conflicting data about what varicose vein disease actually is, as well as the available options for treatment. All-too-often, people find themselves struggling with consistent pain and irritation, without realizing that their issues may be easily treated under the right care. Plain and simple, varicose veins do not have to be a way of life.
While getting some lunch the other day, I overheard the remark, “It’s 2015. You would think that with everything we know about the horrible effects of smoking, that people would stop doing it.” Although there’s truth to that statement—because we do know a lot—smoking cessation can be a complicated challenge for those long-engaged in the habit. Like any other addiction, the draw for smokers is psychological, as well as physiological.
If you’ve suffered from a stroke at some point—or know someone who has—it’s common to find yourself having to make a few lifestyle changes in order to accommodate the residual effects of your condition.

My girlfriend knew I was struggling, she called me and said, I found a doctor and I sent you the link. I looked over the link for Dr. Joseph Ricotta and checked him out. I was so glad to go see the big guy (Dr. Ricotta). I researched a couple of other doctors but I saw Dr. Ricotta’s background and experience that meant a lot to me. He’s saving people’s lives. He told me I made it just in time. A cut or injury to my left leg and it wouldn’t heal.
All I felt was a little bit of pressure and that was (Dr. Ricotta) putting three stents into my clogged femoral artery. After the surgery, Dr. Ricotta told me that I had a 100 percent blockage and I was about to lose my left leg. The next time I saw Dr. Ricotta was after being discharged from the hospital. I went to his office and his staff did an ultrasound and all my numbers were great.
I am forever grateful to Dr. Ricotta. Dr. Ricotta literally gave me my life back.
