“You never realize how much you walk, until you can’t walk,” says Stan Mkhitarov, a 69 year-old retired general surgeon, who relocated to The Villages after practicing medicine overseas for over 40 years.

“It started slowly, as a pressure in my right leg when I was walking. But it grew into debilitating pain that hindered my ability to get around and take part in activities I once enjoyed. My search for a highly knowledgeable and skillful cardiovascular physician led me to Dr. Asad Qamar. He diagnosed me with Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) in the spring of 2011.

“Since then, I have undergone several angioplasty and catheterization procedures on both legs. Words can never express how much I appreciate the care I received from the talented and caring Dr. Qamar. I have so much respect and trust in his entire team, who were so approachable and treated me and my family with respect and understanding.

“Having worked in the medical field for four decades, my wife (who is also a retired M.D.) and I have always had access to quality healthcare. However, I say with a great deal of confidence that Dr. Qamar and his staff at ICE are one of the finest groups of healthcare professionals I have ever met.”

“In February 2009, good friends of ours referred us to Dr. Qamar. Following several tests it was determined that my husband Bob needed a stent placed in an artery to his heart. In his following visits to Dr. Qamar and Dr. Gharai, they decided Bob needed open-heart surgery. His aortic valve was replaced in March 2011 and a few days later they implanted a pacemaker.

“I also underwent several tests and found I needed a procedure performed on my leg. Following an ablation, I am doing very well. Both Bob and I are up and about, taking daily walks. We are very pleased with the results of our care.

“The doctors at ICE are wonderful and take time to talk with us. We have great confidence in them and are very thankful for the consideration and kindness of the staff. They are always helpful and smiling.”
