New Patients
What to expect at your initial vein screening.
Each patient’s condition is unique. For this reason, we offer a complimentary vein screening. When you come for your first visit, we’ll review your history and perform a complete and thorough evaluation of your legs, to determine the presence of vein disease. If necessary, an ultrasound examination will be scheduled to identify the underlying cause of your problem, and help define the optimum treatment protocol customized specifically for your situation.
The following is reviewed during the initial complimentary vein screening*:
- Medical history
- Visual examination of your legs
- Recommendation for Venous Ultrasound* (if needed)
- Review of diagnosis
- Treatment options
* Venous Ultrasound Diagnostic Testing is considered a separate diagnostic test, and will be billed to your insurance.
