Who This Helps
Livingston patients often come to the Vein Institute with one or more of these symptoms or questions about vein surgeon:
- Complex varicose veins that may benefit from a surgeon's evaluation
- Vein disease alongside other vascular concerns
How It Works & Recovery
At your consultation, you'll meet with your provider to talk through your symptoms and history. If an ultrasound is needed to map the affected veins, our Certified Vascular Sonographer can often perform it during the same visit, and you'll be given a treatment plan based on the results.
Even with a surgical background, most vein procedures performed at the Vein Institute are minimally invasive, in-office treatments with little downtime rather than traditional vein stripping surgery.
