Got Veins? This is the Best Time to Get Them Treated

Lately, with higher and higher deductibles, varicose vein treatment will soon be beyond the reach of many family's health coverage.

Varicose vein treatments have moved from hospitals to doctor’s offices. There is no need to go to a hospital or surgery center any more to have your varicose vein treatment.

In the past, the only option was to have your varicose veins stripped. That was always done in a hospital under a general anesthetic in an operating room.
Now with modern minimally invasive techniques including the laser, everything can be done in an office setting. That is good but it also creates a big problem.

Not all vein centers are the same.

Don’t leave your vein treatments to just any doctor. Make sure their entire vein center (not just their Doppler ultrasound department) is accredited and has been inspected by a national panel of experts in the field.

Doctors in Pittsburgh who have absolutely no training in venous disease perform varicose vein treatments in most of our vein centers every day. That is the sad truth!
You will not believe it but many people choose the vein treatment facility that is the closest or the one that advertises all of the time on television.
