Our vein specialists will perform a review of your symptoms and a visual evaluation of your legs. Vein screenings are not diagnostic and do not provide specific data regarding a patient’s symptoms or current status. Whether the problem is a clinical one or cosmetic in nature, you will need to have an ultrasound examination. The ultrasound is a painless test which uses sound waves to visualize the veins and how blood flows within them. This test is necessary to determine the health of the valves in the vein and provides a road map for treatment. It is also required by insurance companies to document medical necessity for treatment.Our vein specialists will perform a review of your symptoms and a visual evaluation of your legs.
