Dr. Lalezarian can perform miracles, in my opinion. I only wish I had been referred to him a few years ago and this why. I battled a venous skin ulcer on my left ankle area for 2 1/2 years, going to specialty doctors from Barstow to Loma Linda and back. I was subjected to unnecessary surgical procedures, blood tests, ultra sounds, etc. in the hope that someone would find the root cause of my ulcer and the severe PAIN that I was going through…My ulcer did finally heal with the treatment that I received from St. Mary’s Wound Care Center and another amazing doctor, Dr. Dadvan, a plastic surgeon who comes there one day a week to treat severe wounds. He is who referred me to Dr. Lalezarian less than two months ago because my ulcer returned 9 months after the first one healed and I had to return to wound care for treatment again. On my very first visit an ultrasound was performed and Dr. Lalezarian found a vein that runs directly under my wound and he explained that “because of that vein my blood is not flowing back up from the bottom of my left leg and it is just pooling there, therefore, causing the ulcer and this is why it happened and reoccurred”. He also stated that “he couldn’t believe everybody else missed this, because it is right there under the wound”. He then went on to explain a procedure that he wanted to perform, which would seal that non-working vein and allow the blood to reroute and flow up the way it is supposed to.

The next week he performed the procedure on the front portion of my left leg and then the next week the back. I returned two weeks later to the best news I could ever hear. “The vein had sealed”. That’s why I can say “this doctor can perform miracles”. My wound has decreased in size since the second week after the procedure. The first week it grew a bit, but since week two it has shrunk quit a bit and is continuing to heal thanks to a procedure he performed using Varithena foam. I would recommend this procedure and this miracle worker to everybody and anybody in need and I have with my fellow patients at Wound Care.
