How we treat vein conditions
A minimally invasive procedure that treats poor circulation of blood in the leg, a condition called venous reflux or insufficiency. Left untreated, varicose veins and other more serious vascular conditions may develop.

Get a second opinion from a heart specialist
Decisions about your heart care are important. Getting a second opinion not only provides more information about your condition, but it can help you feel more confident in the doctor and the care plan you choose. Consider getting a second opinion if:
- Your diagnosis or prognosis is unclear
- You’ve been told you have a rare or life-threatening condition
- You would like to explore other treatment options
- Your treatment options are costly or risky
- You want to hear an opinion from another specialist
- Your insurance requires a second opinion
How to get care
To make an appointment, a referral should be made by your primary care doctor or another specialist. Once the referral is received and reviewed, you will be contacted to schedule an appointment with a vascular surgeon.
If you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency, go directly to the ER or call 911.
