Leg Pain Doctor Pomona
Vascular care and leg pain treatment for Pomona patients
Has the walk across the Cal Poly Pomona campus started leaving your calves cramping? Are you waking up to a swollen leg, or finding a wound on your foot that won’t heal? Did your primary care doctor at Pomona Valley Hospital flag a missing pulse or a foot ulcer? These are the calls we get from Pomona patients every week.
The vascular specialists at the Center for Advanced Cardiac and Vascular Interventions (CACVI) treat the full range of leg pain Pomona patients bring in — from peripheral artery disease (PAD) and venous insufficiency to non-healing diabetic foot wounds, varicose veins, deep vein thrombosis, and limb-threatening ischemia. Leg pain isn’t one diagnosis; it’s a symptom with a dozen possible causes, and we sort them out in one visit.

The Amputation Prevention Center
Every day, 230 Americans with diabetes lose a limb to amputation. Pomona’s working-class population carries higher background rates of type 2 diabetes and uncontrolled hypertension than the LA County average, which means more 91766 and 91767 residents fall into the high-risk category for non-healing wounds and PAD.
Mortality after a major amputation runs 13–40% at one year, 35–65% at three years, and 39–80% at five years — worse than most cancers. That’s why amputation-free survival is the metric that matters when a Pomona patient lands in our office with a diabetic foot wound or a discolored toe. Catching the ischemia early changes the curve.
At CACVI we run an amputation prevention center serving the east San Gabriel Valley, including Pomona. We’re board-certified consultants in endovascular intervention, with a particular focus on micro-vessel work below the knee — the small arteries that determine whether a foot wound heals or doesn’t. Most Pomona referrals come from Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center on North Garey Avenue and from federally qualified health centers serving 91766 and 91767.
Amputation carries its own high mortality risk — which is why we measure ourselves not by procedures performed but by limbs saved. Thousands of patients across the east SGV, including Pomona, have kept walking on their own legs because we got to the artery in time. That’s the work we do.
