Approximately 95% of vein procedures are covered by medical insurance. Our office will check your benefits and provide you with an estimate of cost prior to scheduling your procedures. Cosmetic sclerotherapy is the exception - this is never a covered procedure.
We use the most modern technology and work with our patients to ensure their comfort throughout treatment. Vein ablation and phlebectomy procedures are performed using local anesthesia to numb the areas that we are working on. This ensures a comfortable experience. We also provide oral anti-anxiety medication when necessary.
Yes! One of the best things about modern vein treatment is that there is no down time! Patients are able to drive themselves to and from their visits and resume most normal activities immediately. Work, under most circumstances can be resumed the same day or the next day.
At our clinic! We provide the option for our patients to purchase high quality JUZO compression stockings in our clinic. We have various lengths, sizes, colors and patterns available for your convenience.
We accept most commercial payors. Prior to your first visit, our office will obtain your insurance information and verify your benefits.
The Great Saphenous Vein is sometimes used for heart bypass surgery. However, in patients suffering from varicose veins and venous insufficiency, the saphenous veins are dilated or too “stretched out” to be appropriate for use in the heart.
Low impact exercise and normal activities can be resumed immediately following venous procedures. Walking 30-60 minutes per day is recommended to help prevent any complications. Our recommendation is that patients refrain from lifting heavy weights, jumping, lunging or performing HIIT workouts for one week. There is a theoretical risk of strenuous activity causing a recently treated vein to re-open.
