The Kimmel Institute’s Certified Vein Specialists in South Florida

Blog Author July 11, 2020
Treating vascular issues, such as varicose veins, is a complex process. Patients need a doctor that creates customized treatment plans that successfully treat not only the current problem, but any underlying problems that may be causing the vascular issues. Just because a doctor can treat vascular issues such as varicose veins, doesn’t mean that they should. It is important to find a doctor that specializes in the treatment of vascular veins and other vascular issues.

A vein specialist will have the following:

  • Board certified physician
  • Specializes in treating varicose veins and other vascular issues
  • Practices out of a clinic or medical office that is dedicated to vein care
  • Uses state-of-the-art advanced medical technology to treat varicose veins and vascular issues
  • Easy to talk to – you must feel comfortable with the doctor you use for treatment of your vascular issues
  • Uses a comprehensive evaluation to create a customized treatment plan

Questions to Ask Your Vein Specialist

Asking questions during your consultation will help you feel comfortable and confident that you have chosen the right vein specialist. The following are some questions you may want to ask.

What treatment options are available?

The severity and type of vascular issues you are suffering from will determine what treatment options are available to you. Treatment options can include everything from radiofrequency ablation to sclerotherapy or alternative treatments.

How did you determine what type of treatment I will need?

Most vein specialists use a guideline similar to this clinical guideline from the National Clinical Guideline Centre to diagnosis and treat varicose veins.

What is your experience in performing vein treatment?

It is important to find a vein specialist who has extensive experience performing the specific procedure you choose to undergo.

What is the overall success rate for this procedure?

Don’t just get the overall success rate for a specific procedure. Make sure you get the clinic’s success rate. A procedure can have a high success rate, but if you use a specialist who doesn’t have experience successfully performing that procedure it won’t help you.

What can I expect from this vein treatment procedure?

Understand exactly what is involved with your vein treatment and what type of results you can expect to experience

What type of recovery is involved?

Understand what type of recovery will be involved with your vein treatment. Will you have to avoid specific activities? Will there be any down time?

What can I do to prevent a reoccurrence of my vein problems?

Your vein specialist will be able to advise you on how to do everything from preventing painful varicose veins this summer to ways you can prevent varicose veins from forming.
