Once you decide to move forward with treatment, we will work around your schedule to perform the procedures. Each outpatient procedure is different, but you should expect to return to normal activities in no time with minimal discomfort. Your specific treatment expectations and after-care will be discussed in detail before your appointment. Our professional and friendly staff is here to answer all your questions and make your time with us comfortable.
Endovenous Radiofrequency Ablation (EVRF): This treatment uses heat delivered through a catheter to close off damaged veins from the inside. It is often the first treatment used after conservative therapy.
Varithena: This is an injectable foam that treats hard-to-reach or irregularly shaped veins. The foam fills the vein and causes it to collapse.
VenaSeal: VenaSeal is a medical-grade adhesive that seals damaged veins shut. It requires fewer injections and has simple post-treatment instructions.
Sclerotherapy: We inject a chemical solution directly into the problem vein to irritate and close the vein. It can be used for problem veins causing symptoms or for cosmetic veins.
Ambulatory Phlebectomy: This procedure physically removes large veins through a tiny opening in the skin. Our ambulatory phlebectomies are incision-free.

During your appointment, Physicians Vein Clinics specialists will help you determine whether insurance is likely to cover the costs of the treatment. In case your vein treatment isn’t covered, we will walk you through all of the financing options. See which insurances we accept here. Affordable vein care at Physicians Vein Clinics doesn’t end after your first appointment, rather this is just the beginning. Our physicians will determine if the patient has a vein problem and the best and most cost-effective treatment plan.
At Physicians Vein Clinics, all of our procedures are completed in the clinic setting under local anesthesia. Treatment in the clinic can save thousands of dollars compared to having the same procedure completed at a hospital. If a patient chooses to go to a hospital to get similar vein procedures, the patient and insurance company would have to pay significantly higher cost for the surgery suite, anesthesia, and an anesthesiologist. Since Physicians Vein Clinics is a private practice, each patient is treated as an individual. We look at the patient’s condition, insurance, and end goals to make a customized treatment plan that leaves patients satisfied. At Physicians Vein Clinics, we put the patient first.
A vein screening can help determine whether your vein concerns are cosmetic or related to an underlying medical condition. This is a free service that we offer. However, not every patient needs one. If your symptoms are already well-defined, you can skip the screening and move on to a consultation and diagnosis, and save yourself an appointment.
Many vein treatments are covered by insurance when they’re deemed medically necessary. Coverage varies by plan and often depends on factors like your diagnosis and whether you’ve completed a 6-12 week trial of conservative therapy first. We work with most major insurance providers and will help verify your benefits before treatment, so there are no surprises.
All of our treatments are minimally invasive and do not involve general anesthesia. You are welcome to drive yourself home after your appointment and go back to work.
In most cases, compression stockings are important for your recovery after a vein treatment. They support healthy blood flow and keep the swelling down. How long you will wear them depends on the type of treatment you receive. We will give you specific instructions so you know what to expect.
