Vein Institute – Meridian

Meridian, MS 39301
Driving from Newton: approx. 36 mi (about 45 min)
Newton, MS is served by our Meridian clinic, where our team offers varicose vein treatment alongside in-office ultrasound diagnosis. Whether this is your first time seeking vein care or you've been managing symptoms for years, our goal is to make the process simple.
Treatment for enlarged, damaged leg veins that can cause aching, swelling, and skin changes if left untreated.
Dr. J. Keith Thompson evaluates each patient to find the underlying cause of varicose veins, often starting with an in-office ultrasound to map how blood is flowing through the leg. Depending on the size and location of the vein, treatment may include vein ablation (EVLT, radiofrequency ablation, VenaSeal, or Varithena), microphlebectomy, or sclerotherapy to close or remove the damaged vein so blood reroutes through healthier veins nearby.
