PADnet Testing (Peripheral Arterial Disease)
We provide this testing procedure in our Crestwood office to provide early detection of Peripheral Arterial Disease and Dr. Gagnon will discuss treatment options (incorporating lifestyle changes as well as non-invasive and invasive therapeutic options).
Diabetic Shoes
Diabetic shoes decrease the risk of diabetic foot ulcers and thereby reduce amputations. They provide support and protection while minimizing pressure points on the feet. They also have extra depth to accommodate diabetic inserts.
We are a licensed distributor of Diabetic Shoes and we have a broad line of styles and sizes to choose from. A Diabetic patient is given a comprehensive exam and if they meet the qualifications, diabetic shoes are covered by Medicare (and some Commercial plans) and patients are allowed 1 pair per year.
