Interventional radiologists
If a parent or sibling has varicose veins, you're far more likely to develop them too.
Jobs that keep you on your feet — or seated —
all day let blood pool in the legs.
Increased blood volume and hormonal shifts
during pregnancy strain leg veins.
Vein valves naturally wear down over time, so
risk climbs as you get older.
Extra body weight adds pressure on the veins
in your legs and pelvis.
A sedentary lifestyle weakens the calf-muscle pump that moves blood upward.
Enlarged, twisted veins that often cause aching, heaviness, or swelling in the legs.
Small, visible veins on the surface of the skin
that often appear red, blue, or purple.
Weakened leg vein valves impair blood flow to
the heart, causing swelling and skin changes.
A serious condition where blood clots in the deep leg veins can cause life-threatening complications.
Skin darkening or color changes caused by poor circulation and prolonged venous disease.
Aching, burning, or throbbing sensations in the
legs, often linked to underlying vein dysfunction.
Open sores near the ankles or calves that are slow to heal due to poor blood flow and venous disease.
Enlarged pelvic veins that cause chronic pelvic
pain, especially in women who have had children.
An uncontrollable urge to move the legs that is sometimes related to underlying venous conditions.
Fluid buildup in the legs or ankles caused by vein
disease or lymphatic system issues.
Persistent swelling, aching, skin changes, or
visible veins are signs to get evaluated.
No hospital stay. Most patients go home within hours.
A single pinhole — no vein stripping, no general anesthesia.
Most patients return to normal activity the very next day.
Medically necessary vein treatment is covered by most major plans.
Board-certified interventional radiologists deliver expert care using the latest minimally invasive
vein treatments.

While some people only dislike how varicose veins look, they are often a sign of underlying venous insufficiency. Left untreated, they can lead to worsening pain, swelling, skin discoloration, bleeding, blood clots, and slow-healing leg ulcers. An ultrasound evaluation tells us whether treatment is medically necessary.
Diagnosis starts with a physical exam and your symptom history, followed by a painless duplex ultrasound. The ultrasound shows blood flow in real time and pinpoints exactly which veins have faulty valves, allowing us to build a precise, personalized treatment plan.
Most patients are treated without surgery. The main options are:
Procedures are done under local numbing, so discomfort is minimal — most patients feel only a small pinch. There's no hospital stay and little to no downtime. You'll wear compression stockings for a short period and can usually walk immediately and return to normal activities the next day.
Yes. When vein treatment is medically necessary — meaning you have symptoms like pain, swelling, or skin changes — it's covered by most major insurance plans and Medicare. Our team verifies your benefits in advance and handles the documentation. Purely cosmetic spider-vein treatment is typically out of pocket.
A vein that's been properly sealed or removed will not return. However, because vein disease is progressive, new veins can develop over time. Wearing compression stockings, staying active, and attending follow-up visits greatly reduces the chance of new problem veins and keeps your results lasting.
Most minimally invasive vein procedures take about 30 to 60 minutes and are performed right in our office. You're awake the whole time, and you can typically drive yourself home and resume light activity the same day.
See a specialist if you have bulging or painful veins, persistent leg swelling, heaviness or aching that worsens through the day, restless legs at night, skin discoloration around the ankles, or any open sore that won't heal. Early evaluation prevents the condition from progressing.
