Learning about Vascular Diseases
Dr. Bernie Fernandez, Chief Executive Officer of Baptist Health Medical Group, says a vascular disease is anything that has to do with blood vessels, particularly in the legs, and he also highlights the importance of podiatry after getting a diagnose of Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD), for example.
Dr. Kyle Kinmon, President of Foot and Ankle Specialists with Bethesda Hospital, Baptist Health, explains podiatry is the specialty of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis, and the surgical treatment of the foot, ankle, and lower leg.
