This billboard on the way to the Talladega Airport just had me laughing at all the possibilities:

I can't see how that makes any sense at all.... unless it's gone through some bad Google translate!

A guy most likely from somewhere in the Middle East now living in the heart of Dixie.
That must have been some serious culture shock!
Edit: Just looked him up online. He went to medical school in Aleppo, Syria.

That would explain the Civil War speciality of sawing off legs. I had no idea that the amputation market was so competitive - to the point where billboards were a necessity.

Maybe he's trying to say that he is seeing (treating) patients with amputation ulcers and leg ulcers?

Partially correct.
Venous stasis ulcers occur when circulation is impaired to the lower extremities. This is very common with diabetics, especially ones with poorly controlled DM. Essentially the vasculature is damaged and it impairs the circulation leading to areas that aren't served by bloodflow. This can be painful for some people but for most diabetics it is pain free since the diabetes also causes nerve ending injuries otherwise knows as diabetic neuropathy.
I am willing to bet that this doctor is a Vascular Surgeon and is looking at methods to increase vascularization to the lower extremities. If bad enough there is no other choice but to amputated the limb before it becomes gangrenous. Rezerekted good luck with your problems.

I would think a poor fitting leg prosthetic might cause them too. I had a neighbor that had issues until they got his leg perfect.

Someone who lurks here on SimHQ pointed out to me that he's wearing a butcher's apron in that picture (I also posted this on Facebook).
