Wound Healing and Strength Restored
For Erin C., a wound on her foot that wouldn’t heal became the reason she sought specialized vascular care. What started as a lingering issue gradually became concerning, especially when healing stalled and discomfort persisted. She knew something wasn’t right and decided it was time to get answers.
Erin came to United Vein & Vascular Centers at the Phoenix OBL, where she underwent an arteriogram to evaluate her circulation. From the beginning, she felt supported and informed. She shared that everyone on the team was “awesome,” and that the nurses did a great job keeping her calm and updated throughout the process. Dr. Maydell explained what he planned to do before the procedure and thoroughly reviewed what was done afterward, ensuring she felt confident and comfortable every step of the way.
Since treatment, Erin has noticed meaningful improvements. Her leg no longer feels heavy, her discomfort has been alleviated, and she’s experienced increased strength in her leg. What once felt limiting now feels manageable, allowing her to move forward with greater comfort and peace of mind.
She also highlighted how accommodating, kind, and caring both the staff and physician were, and even noted that the billing department was friendly and helpful, making the entire experience smooth from start to finish.
