Frequently Asked Questions

Why would you be referred to a vascular surgeon for cold legs and feet?

While having cold legs and feet can be uncomfortable, it is generally not considered dangerous unless it is caused by an underlying medical condition. It is important to see your doctor if you experience lingering discomfort even after trying home remedies. They will be able to diagnose any potential underlying conditions which may require further investigation or treatment.

A vascular surgeon might become involved if your doctor becomes concerned about venous disease, such as varicose veins, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), or venous insufficiency.

What doctor can I see for poor circulation?

If you are experiencing signs or symptoms of poor circulation, it's important to speak to a doctor. Depending on the specific cause and the severity of the symptoms, your doctor may refer you to a specialist. This can include vascular specialists, especially when it comes to conditions that involve your veins and arteries. They may be able to provide more comprehensive testing and treatments than a primary care doctor, such as ultrasound testing or ablation/sclerotherapy for varicose veins.

Can I prevent cold legs and feet?

You can reduce the risk of developing cold legs by following some simple lifestyle tips like keeping warm in cold weather, avoiding tight clothing that constricts blood flow in your limbs, exercising regularly and eating a healthy balanced diet. Additionally, regular visits with a vein specialist can help identify any underlying issues early so you can take appropriate action before they become more serious.

Does your vascular vein doctor accept insurance?

Yes! At Three Rivers Vein Center, we accept the majority of healthcare plans in the Western PA region, including Highmark and UPMC. To see our full list of providers, visit our Insurance  page.
