Driving from Newton: approx. 36 mi (about 45 min)
Patients from Newton travel a short distance to our Meridian office for reticular vein treatment. The Vein Institute is home to South Mississippi's only 100%, full-time, board-certified vein specialist, and we welcome patients from Newton and nearby communities.
Treatment for the small- to medium-sized feeder veins beneath the skin that often contribute to visible spider veins.
Reticular veins are the small- to medium-sized bluish veins that sit just beneath the skin and often feed into surface spider veins. The Vein Institute treats reticular veins the way it treats spider veins and small varicose veins — most often with sclerotherapy — so the underlying feeder vein is addressed rather than just the spider veins on the surface.

Newton patients often come to the Vein Institute with one or more of these symptoms or questions about reticular veins:
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.
As with sclerotherapy for spider veins, there is little to no downtime, and most patients wear compression garments for a period after treatment.
Our Meridian clinic is approx. 36 mi (about 45 min) from Newton, and it's one of three Vein Institute locations across South Mississippi. Patients appreciate having a dedicated vein practice nearby, led by a surgeon with more than 20 years of experience managing complex leg vein conditions.
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 — all focused exclusively on vein care.

If an underlying reticular (feeder) vein isn't treated, the spider veins it feeds can keep reappearing, which is why addressing the feeder vein matters.
Reticular veins are most often treated with sclerotherapy, the same approach used for spider veins and small varicose veins.
Sclerotherapy can cause minimal discomfort, but most patients find it very tolerable given the results.
