Vascular Treatments in Orange County

Arterial Treatments

Arterial disease occurs when plaque builds up inside the arteries, restricting blood flow and potentially causing pain, reduced mobility, or other circulation problems.

At Pedes Orange County, we provide minimally invasive arterial treatments designed to restore circulation and improve vascular health. Procedures may include:

Atherectomy to remove plaque from arteries

Angioplasty to widen narrowed vessels

Stenting to help maintain healthy blood flow

These image-guided procedures are typically performed using small catheters rather than large surgical incisions.

Venous Treatments

Venous disease occurs when veins struggle to return blood efficiently to the heart. This can lead to symptoms such as swelling, discomfort, or visible vein changes.
Our specialists treat the full spectrum of venous circulation conditions, using advanced technologies to address the underlying causes of vein dysfunction.

Treatment options may include:

  • Radiofrequency ablation
  • Sclerotherapy
  • Microphlebectomy
  • Ultrasound-guided procedures

Each patient receives a customized treatment plan designed to improve circulation and relieve symptoms.

Hemodialysis Access Care

Patients with advanced kidney disease often require reliable vascular access for dialysis. At Pedes Orange County, we provide comprehensive hemodialysis access care, including:

  • Dialysis access creation
  • Access maintenance and monitoring
  • Advanced access options such as EndoAVF

Our team works closely with referring physicians and nephrology teams to ensure that patients receive consistent, coordinated care.

I had such a great experience with this vascular surgery office. The doctors and the entire staff are very professional, kind, and genuinely nice people. From the beginning, everything was well organized and clearly explained, which made the whole process much less stressful.

I’m really glad I chose to have my surgery here. I had been to other facilities before, so I truly can compare - and the level of care here was noticeably better. They take their work seriously, are very knowledgeable and responsible, and they did thorough ultrasounds and follow-ups to make sure everything was done properly and working as it should.

I saw Dr. Hewett today for my initial consultation. He was kind, professional, and explained everything clearly. I felt confident in his assessment so far. While it’s hard to ease my fears given the seriousness of my medical concerns, Dr. Hewett was patient, gave me plenty of time, and didn’t rush the visit. The office was spotless, and the front desk staff and the doctor’s assistant were friendly and very competent. I also truly appreciate being seen on such short notice. Thank you!

Yesterday I had a stent procedure with Dr. Goldstein.

I wanted to thank the entire team.

Dr. Hewitt saw me first for a consultation. He knew from my symptoms that I needed some help. He ordered an MRV and helped me get the right procedures ordered. I felt like a priority from the time I met him.

I felt heard.

Yolanda the scheduler was very professional and prompt. Helping me get scheduled quickly.

Juliana, Mariana, Goli, Ghazal and Chelsea took care of me while I was there.

I was nervous for the procedure and feeling vulnerable. I also have an allergic reaction when I get exposed to cold temperatures.
It’s called Cold Urticaria.

Being in an operating room can be painful due to the cold temperatures. Mariana and Goli went above and beyond to make sure to I felt safe, covered and super warm. They used blankets, and even multiple heating packs.

After the procedure Juliana stayed with me and made sure I was feeling okay and warm. I was her last patient, but she didn’t make me feel rushed or like an inconvenience.

I just wanted everyone to know what a great experience I had.

The doctors were both intelligent and caring…highly recommend them!

I have to go back for another procedure and I’m glad it will be with the incredible Dr. Goldstein and his awesome team.

We are incredibly grateful to the dedicated team at [Pedes Orange County] and to Dr. Hewett and Dr. Goldstein for their ongoing care for my father. He has faced multiple vascular surgeries this year, and his recent ultrasound showed concerning findings. We were hopeful for one more procedure before year’s end to help prevent further complications.

Unfortunately, we’ve been unable to reach the team despite our best efforts, and my father’s foot condition continues to worsen. This is an urgent situation for him and our family, and we’re seeking immediate guidance and a clear plan of care.

If anyone has recommendations for: how best to reach the care team (phone, after-hours lines, or patient portal), alternative contact points within the same medical group or hospital, or guidance on next steps for urgent vascular/foot care, we would be profoundly grateful.
