Vein disease is common, and it's treatable. If you're in Enterprise, MS, the Vein Institute's Meridian office provides varithena treatment using modern, minimally invasive techniques ā the same approach used across all of our South Mississippi locations.
An FDA-approved foam therapy Dr. Thompson uses to treat larger, more twisted varicose veins.
VarithenaĀ® is one of the vein ablation options Dr. J. Keith Thompson offers for larger or more twisted varicose veins. A specially formulated foam is injected into the diseased vein, causing it to close so blood reroutes through healthy veins nearby.

Enterprise patients often come to the Vein Institute with one or more of these symptoms or questions about varithena:
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.
Varithena is performed in-office with little downtime. Most patients resume normal activity quickly, often the same day as treatment.
Enterprise patients are approx. 20 mi (about 25 min) from our Meridian location, where every consultation includes time to discuss your specific concerns with your provider. Our practice focuses exclusively on vein care, from in-office ultrasound to advanced vein ablation.
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.
Enterprise patients typically drive approx. 20 mi (about 25 min) to our Meridian location at 103 S Frontage Road, Ste 310, Meridian, MS 39301. We recommend calling ahead at (601) 531-0041 so our team can help plan your first visit.

In addition to Enterprise, our Meridian office regularly sees patients from Quitman, MS, Meridian, MS, Newton, MS, Waynesboro, MS. Wherever you're coming from, the goal is the same: a comfortable visit and a clear treatment plan.
Dr. Thompson determines candidacy after an ultrasound evaluation, since Varithena is generally used for larger veins compared to standard sclerotherapy.
Varithena is performed in-office as part of a routine visit, similar in length to the Vein Institute's other vein ablation options.
Recovery is minimal ā most patients return to normal activity quickly, often the same day.
Yes. We regularly see new patients from Enterprise and the surrounding area at our Meridian office. Your first visit includes a consultation with your provider and, often, an in-office ultrasound.
Please bring a photo ID and a copy of your insurance card. We accept most major medical insurance and Medicare, and our office can help answer insurance questions before your visit.
