What makes us different
The same physician, every visit.
Vein care is a course of treatment, not a single appointment: ultrasound, planning, procedure and follow-up. At a practice that rotates physicians, you explain your legs again at every step.
We have been two offices and one small physician team for 25 years. Read our Google reviews and you will notice patients naming their doctor, because they saw the same one throughout.
Worth asking any vein clinic: who will I see at my second visit, and at my follow-up?
- You meet a physician on day one
Your first visit is with a board certified physician, not a coordinator who books you in for one later.
- The same physician follows your case
The doctor who reads your ultrasound is the doctor who treats you and the doctor who sees you at follow-up.
- Our own staff answers the phone
Tammy and our team answer during office hours and call you back the next business day after hours. No call center, no queue.
- Your benefits are checked by a person
We call your insurer directly and verify your specific procedure before anything is scheduled, so the number you are told is the number you pay.

Are treatments covered by insurance?
As you schedule your initial appointment with The Vein Care Center, a determination of coverage is made at that time. For vein related visits, the initial office consultation and venous ultrasound are usually covered by most insurance carriers. Consultations for cosmetic vein treatment are complimentary.
What are varicose and spider veins?
Varicose veins are the large ropey veins seen in the leg. The word “varicose” refers to a vein that is enlarged and permanently distended. Spider veins (telangiectasias) are the smaller, less pronounced variants of varicose veins, with short jagged lines like a tree branch or spider web.
Why treat varicose veins and spider veins?
Some people desire treatment for cosmetic reasons only and others for the medical benefits it will provide to the legs. Typically, symptoms from varicose veins are heavy, achy, drawing pains, swelling (edema), tenderness to touch, and a tired feeling in the legs.
Can varicose and spider veins return after treatment?
Current treatments for varicose veins and spider veins have very high success rates. However, new varicosities may occur over time. Because of this it is important to follow your doctor’s recommendations including the use of support hose and exercise. Regular follow-up visits along with an ultrasound, when indicated, are recommended.
