Gino A Bolanos, Jr.
Vascular Sonographer
“I find it both rewarding and compelling to have the opportunity to do something positive for the lives of others. To play an essential role in helping people get relief, feel good about their appearance and start living a fulfilling life again is really a special gift. But it also motivates me to learn new techniques, new procedures and stay current with the latest studies and protocols. My objective every day is to provide each individual the best experience, the most compassionate care and the most professional service they’ve ever had. I am here to help them, and I think it’s a real privilege to do so.”

Danny Martinez
Vascular Sonographer
“I feel very fortunate to be able to do what I do for a living. I’m a people person, and I enjoy talking with people and interacting with them, essentially learning more about people every day. But what I enjoy most is knowing that what I do can change lives — DOES change lives. It is interesting to play a role in detecting disease or discovering a pathology. But for me, it’s all about helping others live their lives without discomfort, pain or embarrassment about their varicose veins. The greatest reward is when people come back and say ‘thanks’ for helping to return them to their lives. The least I can do is give my best each and every day.”

Stacia L. Ashmore
Office Manager
“As a business professional, I’ve found that it’s helpful to keep an eye out for quality people who do things right. I first met Dr. Bunker when, as a real estate broker, I helped him find — and later manage renovations for — his vein-care center. I recognized right away Dr. Bunker’s passion for innovative solutions and dogged determination to do things as well as they can be done. I saw Dr. Bunker’s commitment to helping people, and I have been on board ever since. It has been very satisfying to work with such terrific people… and to strive daily to make a significant, positive difference for so many.”

“I have always believed that helping others is a noble pursuit. And I see this as my role. I love being part of a team dedicated to resolving people’s problems and improving their lives. But there is a lot that is involved in doing that. My purpose is to do all that I can to facilitate the process… for Dr. Bunker and the team, but most of all for you. I want the people in our care to always receive the best possible care, total respect and genuine compassion and understanding. I’m here to help achieve that in any way that I can.”
