REAL Patient Testimonials
What People Are Saying About Us
how do we treat your VEINS?
Sclerotherapy
A minimally invasive treatment that involves injecting an FDA-approved sclerosing agent (Sotradecol) directly into affected veins to help them eliminate visible leg veins.
Endovenous Laser Treatment
EVLT leverages laser energy to close off varicose veins. Laser heat is delivered directly into the vein(s) in question using a narrow catheter for direct, effective treatment.
Ultrasound Technology
We engage ultrasound exams following all ablation procedures to document proper closure of the saphenous (superficial) veins and to ensure that thrombus does not enter into the deep veins.
Ultrasound Guided Ambulatory Phlebectomy
This minimally invasive procedure removes larger varicose veins, like those that are bulging above the skin’s surface, to enhance vein health and appearance.
