Even in times of crisis, such as during the COVID-19 pandemic, many still need treatment for medical conditions unrelated to the virus.

The Center for Vein Restoration in Alaska understands, and we're doing what's needed to keep you safe as you report for treatment. See our tips for choosing your vascular surgeon.
Vascular problems such as varicose veins and vascular ulcers have painful symptoms that need to be addressed.

You can still get treatment for vein disease today in Alaska without exposing yourself to the risks of COVID-19. The Center for Vein Restoration has a vascular surgeon available right now for those in need of procedures such as sclerotherapy.
Sitting in a crowded waited room is not recommended during the current pandemic. But the symptoms of vein disease need treatment because they range from uncomfortable to painful. They typically affect the legs and may include:
If left untreated, vein disorders such as spider or varicose veins can lead to more serious ulcers. Ulcers appear as painful sores, usually around your legs and ankles. They often take a long time to heal, and may pose a risk of infection.
If you need treatment for vein disease in Alaska, there's no need to suffer. The Center for Vein Restoration offers one-on-one appointments that won't leave you waiting in a crowded room full of patients.

Waiting to treat the serious symptoms of vein disease puts you at greater medical risk. Chronic venous insufficiency is more than just a cosmetic problem. It also puts you at greater risk of life-threatening conditions such as deep vein thrombosis. Patients who suffer from chronic venous insufficiency have a vascular problem that prevents blood from returning from the legs to the heart. Instead, the blood pools inside the veins of the legs, causing swelling and discoloration. In severe cases, blood clots can form, causing a life-threatening condition known as DVT.
When you're ready to address problems with spider veins, varicose veins, or other complications of chronic venous insufficiency, The Center for Vein Restoration in Alaska is ready to help. We'll schedule you a one-on-one appointment with our experienced vascular surgeon to help alleviate the pain, discomfort and unsightly discoloration of vascular problems. You won't wait in a crowded room or encounter other patients when you appear for your appointment. Rather, you'll receive the private, protected care that's needed during this public health crisis.
