Vein care with Dr. Drost
Dr. Drost sees patients at our Oak Park office on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. He earned his medical degree at the University of Nevada, Reno, and trained at USF Health Morsani College of Medicine. Certified by the American Board of Surgery, he treats a range of venous and circulatory conditions with a patient-centered approach, and performs the full range of treatments offered here: Varithena, endovenous laser ablation (ELAS), micro-phlebectomy, and sclerotherapy. He approaches each office visit with the same care and precision he brought to the operating room.
Every procedure is performed in the office, without hospitalization. A treatment plan starts with the ultrasound and a consultation, and the physician who evaluates you is the physician who treats you, at every visit.
