Leg Pain Doctor Temple City
Vascular care and leg pain treatment for Temple City patients
Has the walk to the Temple City Camellia Festival started leaving your calves cramping? Are you waking up to a swollen leg, or finding a wound on your foot that just isn’t healing? Is your doctor at Methodist Hospital concerned about circulation? These are the questions we hear from Temple City patients every week.
The vascular specialists at the Center for Advanced Cardiac and Vascular Interventions (CACVI) treat the full range of leg pain Temple City patients bring in — from peripheral artery disease (PAD) and venous insufficiency to non-healing diabetic foot wounds, varicose veins, blood clots, 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. Temple City’s Asian-American majority carries higher background rates of type 2 diabetes than the LA County average, which puts more residents into the high-risk category for non-healing foot 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 Temple City patient lands in our office with a diabetic foot wound or a discolored toe. Catching ischemia early changes the curve.
At CACVI we work as an amputation prevention center for the San Gabriel Valley, including Temple City. We are board-certified consultants in endovascular intervention, with a particular focus on micro-vessel work below the knee — the small arteries that determine whether a wound on your foot heals or doesn’t. Most Temple City referrals come from Methodist Hospital of Southern California in Arcadia and from primary care groups along Las Tunas Drive.
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 SGV, including Temple City, have kept walking on their own legs because we got to the artery in time. That’s the work we do.
