Venous Insufficiency Treatment for Gautier, MS Patients

Patients from Gautier travel a short distance to our D’Iberville office for venous insufficiency treatment. The Vein Institute is home to South Mississippi's only 100%, full-time, board-certified vein specialist, and we welcome patients from Gautier and nearby communities.

What Is Venous Insufficiency?

Diagnosis and treatment for veins that have stopped efficiently moving blood back toward the heart.

Venous insufficiency happens when the veins in the legs stop moving blood efficiently back toward the heart. Dr. J. Keith Thompson diagnoses venous insufficiency with an ultrasound exam, then recommends a treatment plan — which may include vein ablation, sclerotherapy, or microphlebectomy — based on which veins are affected.

Who This Helps

Gautier patients often come to the Vein Institute with one or more of these symptoms or questions about venous insufficiency:

  • Varicose veins or spider veins
  • Leg swelling, heaviness, aching, or cramping
  • Skin changes on the lower leg
  • Restless or tired legs, especially after standing

How It Works & Recovery

We keep the first visit simple — check-in, then a conversation with your provider about your leg veins and any symptoms you're noticing. An ultrasound is frequently performed the same day, since it helps confirm whether venous insufficiency is contributing to your symptoms.

Treating venous insufficiency is designed to relieve discomfort, improve circulation, and help prevent complications like varicose veins, venous ulcers, or skin changes from progressing.
