FAQ
Am i a candidate for vericose vein treatment?
If you have pain, swelling, or heaviness in your legs, ankles, or pelvis you may have varicose veins (venous insufficiency). Typically, those with varicose veins also suffer from pain while standing or walking for long periods of time. Venous insufficiency is a disease and should be treated by professionals who specialize in comprehensive varicose vein management, including diagnosis and treatment.
HOW DO YOU DETERMINE WHICH VEINS TO TREAT?
In addition to obtaining a detailed medical history and physical examination, we perform a comprehensive ultrasound evaluation that will help identify the sources of venous disease. Because every patient’s venous anatomy and condition are unique, we develop an individual, specialized treatment plan for each patient we see.
ARE VaRICOSE VEINS VISIBLE FROM THE OUTSIDE?
No. Varicose veins may be hidden from your view. Just because you don’t see varicose veins, does not mean that you don’t have them. Our diagnostic evaluation may indicate that you are suffering from varicose veins, even when they are not visible. Often, someone suffering from leg pain will visit their doctor, not knowing they have varicose vein disease.
