DEPARTMENT Vein Care

Vein Care at ICE is a revolutionary resource for the treatment of PAD, problem veins, complications from diabetes, spider and varicose veins and the more serious vein disorders that can eventually lead to loss of a limb. For those in dire need, the numbers are frightening: almost one of every 200 Americans has suffered an amputation—about 97% of those to a lower limb. The real tragedy? Many of those losses could have been avoided with swift and adequate intervention. ICE Vein Care was created to do exactly that. ICE combines all of the myriad specialties involved with reversing the declining health of an arm or leg and matches them with the technology, facilities and staff necessary to get the job done. Examination rooms, labs, testing and treatment facilities plus, medical professionals hand-selected for their skills and dedication. All of it is focused on the singular mission to treat and manage peripheral vascular diagnoses. ICE will do whatever it takes to save a limb and give a patient their life back.

Patient

Michael Rice

(Sr. and Jr.)

The Rice family was reeling from a tragedy that took one of their members much too soon; Michael Rice Jr. lost his daughter—Michael Rice, Sr. his grand–daughter. Just then Michael Sr., who was a diabetic, began having trouble with his legs and Michael Jr. began experiencing unexplained blackouts. Something had to be done and ICE was that something. After Dad had stents put in both legs correcting his circulation problems, he urged Michael to go to ICE about the blackouts. A series of tests revealed that Michael needed a pacemaker and with that x, both broken hearts in this family could again focus on mending. “If not for my dad’s insistence on Dr. Qamar I might not be here today. He insists Dr. Qamar saved his legs and my life and I agree.”
