Radiofrequency (RF) Ablation for Enterprise, MS Patients
Enterprise, MS is served by our Meridian clinic, where our team offers radiofrequency (rf) ablation alongside in-office ultrasound diagnosis. Whether this is your first time seeking vein care or you've been managing symptoms for years, our goal is to make the process simple.
What Is RF Ablation?
A heat-based vein ablation option that closes a diseased vein using radiofrequency energy.
Radiofrequency ablation uses heat generated by radiofrequency energy, delivered through a thin catheter, to close a diseased vein. Like EVLT, it's one of the vein ablation options Dr. J. Keith Thompson offers for varicose veins caused by venous reflux.

Who This Helps
Enterprise patients often come to the Vein Institute with one or more of these symptoms or questions about rf ablation:
- Varicose veins with associated aching or heaviness
- Vein disease confirmed by ultrasound to involve reflux in a larger vein
- Leg swelling or skin changes from long-standing vein disease
How It Works & Recovery
Your first visit starts with check-in ā no stack of forms to fill out ā followed by a one-on-one conversation with your provider about your symptoms. Many patients also have an ultrasound the same day to help identify which veins are involved, so a treatment plan can be discussed right away.
RF ablation is performed in-office with local anesthetic and typically allows patients to resume normal activities the same day, with walking encouraged soon after treatment.
Why Enterprise Patients Choose The Vein Institute
For Enterprise residents, getting to Meridian takes approx. 20 mi (about 25 min). Once there, patients find a practice built specifically around vein care ā not a general clinic that treats veins as an afterthought ā with ultrasound, diagnosis, and treatment available under one roof.
Our clinical team includes a double board-certified vascular surgeon, a Certified Vascular Sonographer with more than 18 years of vein ultrasound experience, and a Nurse Practitioner trained directly by Dr. Thompson in sclerotherapy ā all focused exclusively on vein care.
Getting to the Vein Institute from Enterprise is approx. 20 mi (about 25 min) to 103 S Frontage Road, Ste 310, Meridian, MS 39301. Our Meridian clinic is easy to find and accessible without needing an elevator.
