Leg Pain Doctor Oak Park
Vascular care and leg pain treatment for Oak Park and the west valley
If your calves ache after walking the loop at Oak Canyon Community Park, if a leg wound from a scrape last month still hasn’t closed, if your foot has been feeling colder than the other one, or if your internist near Kanan Road mentioned poor pulses — our Tarzana office sees Oak Park patients about 20 minutes east on the 101.
Oak Park is small, affluent, and skews older than the surrounding Conejo Valley average. Most of the patients we see from the 91377 ZIP arrive with a referral from a private internist or with a wound that has worried their family for weeks. Dr. Mehran J. Khorsandi and Dr. Moinakhtar Lala have more than thirty years of combined practice in cardiac and vascular medicine and over 15,000 procedures performed. Both are board-certified consultants in endovascular interventions and limb salvage — the kind of work that often gets referred out by general vascular practices. You see the doctor for the whole visit, the imaging is read in the room, and the next steps are explained in plain terms.
Find out the cause of your leg pain.
Most Oak Park patients come in for one of three reasons: calf or thigh cramping that comes on after walking and eases with rest (classic claudication from peripheral artery disease), leg swelling that’s been blamed on standing too long but doesn’t resolve, or a non-healing wound on the foot or ankle that’s a few weeks old. Our team can perform a simple vascular ultrasound screening in our Tarzana office to map the circulation, identify the blockage if there is one, and tell you what you’re actually dealing with — usually in a single visit, about 20 minutes from Oak Park via the 101 east.
The Amputation Prevention Center
Every day 230 Americans with diabetes will suffer an amputation.
Mortality after a major leg amputation runs 13 to 40% at one year, 35 to 65% at three years, and 39 to 80% at five years — worse than most cancers people fear more. Amputation-free survival is one of the better metrics for limb-salvage care, and it’s what we’re measured against. For Oak Park patients with PAD, diabetes, or a chronic wound, that’s the math: a vascular evaluation now is dramatically cheaper, less invasive, and statistically safer than the procedure that comes after a wound has progressed.
At CACVI we treat ourselves first as an amputation prevention center, which means most of what we do day to day is restore blood flow to a leg, foot, or toe before anything has to be cut. We’re board-certified consultants in endovascular interventions, leg-pain treatment, and limb salvage. For Oak Park residents, the closest CACVI office is Tarzana on Ventura Boulevard — about 20 minutes east via the 101. If your internist or your podiatrist has used the words “amputation” or “serious vascular problem,” that’s the conversation we’re built for.
Amputation has a mortality rate higher than most surgical patients ever realize. We have saved thousands of limbs over the years and have built the practice around catching the problem early enough that catheter-based revascularization — not surgery, not amputation — is the answer. West Hills Hospital is the closest ER for most Oak Park residents if a wound or sudden ischemia turns into an emergency, but the goal is to never let it get there. Same-day evaluation is available at our Tarzana office for Oak Park patients with active wounds or new rest pain.
