Who This Helps
Petal patients often come to the Vein Institute with one or more of these symptoms or questions about vein specialist:
- Vein concerns that haven't improved with a general practitioner
- A need for board-certified, vein-specific expertise before treatment
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.
Patients benefit from a provider whose practice is dedicated to vein care, supported by a clinical team that includes a Certified Vascular Sonographer and a Nurse Practitioner trained in sclerotherapy.

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.
