Southern Specialty Physicians

We would like everyone to know how great Dr. Brian Sellers is. My husband had a heart ablation done 3 weeks ago, he started hurting in his leg so he went to his primary care physician. They did an ultrasound and found the blood clot, then told us we needed a vascular surgery quickly. I contacted Dr. Sellers and he told us to go to the ER so he could meet us there to do emergency surgery.

Up to 55% of diabetic patients who undergo amputation will need amputation of the second leg in 2-3 years. In countries like the United States, treatment of diabetic foot complications adds approximately $11 billion to the cost of our healthcare system annually.

It is estimated by the World Health Organization that up to 80% of all diabetic foot amputations are preventable Peripheral arterial disease or narrowing of the vessels that supply blood to the legs affects more than 200 million people worldwide.Symptoms can include cramping and fatigue in the muscles of the legs while walking, rest pain, and ulcer formation.

Peripheral artery disease (PAD), also known as peripheral vascular disease (PVD), occurs when peripheral blood vessels are blocked, hardened and narrowed with plaque in a condition called atherosclerosis. This condition reduces the amount of blood that flows to your head, organs and limbs and increases the risk of a heart attack, stroke, and transient ischemic attack.
