When it comes to diet and exercise, one of the greatest struggles that many of us find ourselves having to overcome is an all-or-nothing mentality. While this type of outlook may go a long way towards helping certain people succeed—especially if they thrive in environments that ask them to give 100%—most of us wind up feeling stymied by the threat
When many people think of treatment for some of the more common vein disorders, such as varicose veins, they assume that surgical procedures are their only option. In general, surgery is not a word that most of us want to hear, which can be detrimental because some people may avoid seeking the counsel of a qualified vascular surgeon, especially if they feel that an intrusive procedure is not something they have the time or desire to deal with.
When it comes strokes, people often equate their occurrence with men; however, the truth is that they effect more women than men, which makes them the third leading cause of death for women. In fact, while approximately 795,000 people suffer from a stroke each year, almost 60% of those will be women, with stroke killing 2x as many women as breast cancer. What's really frightening is that most women fail to realize how at-risk they may be.
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.

"I have had a problem with varicose veins in my left leg for many years but noticed that they've been getting worse, so I started to research all the possible treatment options available. I had heard of a new cutting-edge treatment in Europe that didn't involve injections, pain killers, compression bandages, or recovery time. I was so was delighted to learn about Dr. Ricotta who was offering this innovative procedure here in America. I made an appointment with Dr. Ricotta and he discussed with me all my options and answered all my questions openly and honestly so that I felt I had all the information I needed to choose the treatment that was best for me. During the procedure, Dr. Ricotta and his team kept me informed as to what was happening. The whole procedure was pain free and fast and afterwards, I was able to drive a car, walk my dog and generally get on with my life as if nothing had happened! I can highly recommend Dr. Ricotta and all his wonderful and very professional team, and am now looking forward to next summer and wearing shorts for the first time in many years!"
