Vascular Health Problems Can’t Wait – So We Are Here For You!

Your vascular health is vital to your quality of life – and to your life itself. Dr. Tanquilut, Dr. Pradhan and all the Vascular Specialists healthcare providers know that while this is a nerve-wracking time, you still need care – whether for new urgent or emergency situations, regular ongoing care or follow up appointments. 

CALL US AT 815-824-4406 FOR AN URGENT APPOINTMENT IF:

These are symptoms of peripheral artery disease, which could cause a sudden, life-changing amputation if not treated promptly.

CALL 9-1-1 OR GO TO YOUR NEAREST HOSPITAL AND CALL US AT 815-824-4406 IF YOU:

These are symptoms of a stroke and TIME IS BRAIN. Even if symptoms pass, get to a hospital, as it could be a transient ischemic attack, a precursor of a full blown stroke. 

CALL 9-1-1 OR HEAD TO YOUR NEAREST HOSPITAL AND CALL US AT 815-824-4406 IF YOU:

These are symptoms of an abdominal aortic aneurysm. 80% of ruptures end in fatality, so do not wait to seek treatment. 

YOU NEED TO CALL 9-1-1 OR GET TO A HOSPITAL EMERGENCY ROOM AND CALL US AT 815-824-4406 IF YOU FEEL ANY OF THESE SYMPTOMS IN ONE OR BOTH OF YOUR LEGS OR ARMS:

These are symptoms of deep vein thrombosis and you need to be treated immediately to avoid amputation or stroke. 

Our Tinley Park office is open and caring for patients who need wound care, evaluations, treatments and ongoing care. We are practicing strict social distancing guidelines in our waiting areas and thoroughly disinfecting our offices between each patient visit. 

Telehealth visits are being approved on a case-by-case basis and only when appropriate for your unique health issue. If you have an appointment scheduled, your medical condition and care will be reviewed by your Vascular Specialists health care provider. If we are certain we can provide excellent care via telehealth, we will call you to offer such a visit. When you need to schedule a follow up visit, call 815-824-4406 and ask about a telehealth visit. We will not recommend a telehealth visit if we think your health would be compromised in any way. 

If a telehealth visit is approved by your provider, our administrative staff will call you to arrange a date and time for your 30-minute visit. You will need to have access to the internet and a smartphone, computer or tablet with a camera. If you don’t have this equipment, we suggest you make arrangements with a family member who will give you access to theirs. About 5-10 minutes before your appointment time, you’ll receive an email with a link to begin your visit. You’ll click the link and then enter a virtual waiting room. Your provider will see you are in the waiting room and when the provider is ready, will begin your visit.

Dr. Tanquilut, Dr. Pradhan and all of us at Vascular Specialists know that vascular health care can’t wait. You want to enjoy life, stay active and be healthy when all this is over – and we’re here to make that happen.
