Robert had always been active—a retired mechanic who spent his days fixing up vintage cars, working in his garden, or taking his dog on long walks. But a persistent, painful sore on his lower leg changed everything.
“It started as just a small spot,” Robert recalls. “I thought it was a scrape that would heal on its own. But it didn’t get better—it got worse. Before I knew it, the sore was open, swollen, and making it hard for me to even get around.”
What Robert didn’t know at the time was that he had developed a venous leg ulcer, a common condition that occurs when poor circulation leads to wounds that don’t heal. The pain, swelling, and frustration were taking a toll on his active lifestyle and confidence.
“I felt trapped,” Robert admits. “I couldn’t do the things I loved, and I didn’t know how to fix it. That’s when I decided I needed help.”
At the urging of his wife, Robert booked an appointment with Dr. Pinsinski at Artemis in Westminster, CO. Known for his expertise in vascular care, Dr. Pinsinski specializes in treating venous leg ulcers and other vein-related conditions with advanced, minimally invasive techniques.
“From the moment I walked in, I felt like I was in the right place,” Robert says. “Dr. Pinsinski took the time to listen to my story and explain what was happening with my leg.”
During the consultation, Dr. Pinsinski diagnosed Robert with a venous ulcer caused by underlying chronic venous insufficiency, a condition where weakened vein valves lead to poor circulation. He explained that the key to treating the ulcer was addressing the root cause.
“The way he explained it made so much sense,” Robert says. “I felt like I finally understood what was going on with my body—and that there was a plan to fix it.”
For Robert, the most challenging part of living with a leg ulcer wasn’t just the physical discomfort—it was the limitations it placed on his everyday activities. Simple tasks like walking his dog or spending a few hours in the garage working on his cars became overwhelming.
“I remember looking at my toolbox one day and realizing I hadn’t touched it in weeks,” Robert shares. “That was a wake-up call for me. Fixing cars has always been my passion, and I couldn’t let this wound take that away from me.”
The emotional toll was just as heavy. “It’s hard to explain, but I felt like I was losing part of who I was,” he says. “I wasn’t myself anymore, and I didn’t want that to be my new normal.”
This realization pushed Robert to take control of his health and follow through with the treatment plan Dr. Pinsinski laid out for him.
To address Robert’s condition, Dr. Pinsinski recommended a combination of wound care and treatment for his chronic venous insufficiency. The plan included:
“The process was incredibly straightforward,” Robert says. “And the team at Artemis made sure I felt supported every step of the way.”
Over the course of several weeks, Robert began to notice significant improvements. The ulcer that had once been painful and unmanageable started to shrink, and the swelling in his leg decreased dramatically.
“The biggest moment for me was when I could take my dog on a walk again without having to stop every five minutes,” Robert says with a smile. “It felt like I was getting my life back.”
The combination of wound care and venous ablation addressed both the ulcer and its underlying cause, ensuring Robert wouldn’t face the same problem again.
“I didn’t just heal the sore—I fixed the reason it was happening in the first place,” Robert explains. “That’s what made the biggest difference.”
Today, Robert is back to doing what he loves, from working on his cars to gardening and staying active with his dog.
“I never thought I’d feel this good again,” he says. “Dr. Pinsinski and the team at Artemis gave me more than just my mobility back—they gave me my confidence and independence.”
For Robert, the experience was life-changing. “If you’re struggling with something like this, don’t wait to get help,” he urges. “The right care can make all the difference.”
