Being well-hydrated helps the vascular technologist map blood flow and identify damaged veins.
This is your time to meet the team of caring healthcare professionals dedicated to helping you look and feel your best! In addition to your CVR vein physician, vascular ultrasound technologist, and other healthcare professionals, you have a team of patient care specialists ready to guide you every step of the way.
Your vein consultation will start with a health history. You will then have an ultrasound scan of your legs. Don’t worry; this critical diagnostic test is comfortable and does not use radiation. The test results will help your vein doctor develop a custom treatment plan just for you, which will be presented to you during this appointment.
You will leave with a complete understanding of your vein health, a personalized plan with treatment options, and the support of our team to help put this plan into effect.
Based on your specific symptoms and needs, your experienced vein doctor will develop a personalized treatment plan to address the root cause of your vein symptoms: venous insufficiency (also known as vein disease). Our team will thoroughly review the recommended vein treatment options most likely to improve your health and offer the best cosmetic results.
Our patient care support team will then work on your behalf to secure optimal insurance coverage. We will coordinate with your insurance provider and obtain pre-authorization for insurance coverage. We also manage coordination-of-benefit expenses and present financing options if necessary.
In addition to conservative treatment (such as compression therapy), we offer many different minimally invasive options to treat your vein disease. Your personalized vein treatment plan is customized for you, so your plan will differ from that of family and friends who’ve gotten treatment for vein disease.
All our treatment options are performed as an outpatient in a comfortable office setting. Depending on your treatment plan, most procedures are completed in under an hour and allow you to return to regular activity immediately with few restrictions.
