The initial treatment plan for management of your varicose veins is based on a thorough history, physical examination, and detailed duplex ultrasound exam. The purpose of the ultrasound is to determine if you have reflux, and its source. If your veins are refluxing, you are a likely candidate for EVLT with or without other therapies such as sclerotherapy or ambulatory phlebectomy.
This comprehensive program results in a quicker, more effective, less painful and longer lasting solution to your vein problems. We will review the costs and other relevant details with you to ensure that you are fully informed.
If you wish to save time at your first visit, we have made many of our forms available online. Simply print out the forms on the "For Your Visit" page and bring a completed copy to your appointment.
