What Is Vein Surgeon?

Dr. J. Keith Thompson is a double board-certified general and vascular surgeon with a background in advanced vascular procedures.

Dr. J. Keith Thompson is a double board-certified general and vascular surgeon who played a key role in developing minimally invasive vascular treatments in Mississippi, including performing the first minimally invasive thoracic aortic repair in the state in 2005.

Who This Helps

Meridian 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

Your first visit starts with check-in — no stack of forms to fill out — 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.

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.
