Venous Insufficiency Treatment for Purvis, MS Patients
If you live in Purvis, MS and you're dealing with symptoms of vein disease, the Vein Institute offers venous insufficiency treatment close to home. Our nearest office to Purvis is in Hattiesburg, where Dr. J. Keith Thompson and our clinical team diagnose and treat vein conditions using modern, minimally invasive methods.
What Is Venous Insufficiency?
Diagnosis and treatment for veins that have stopped efficiently moving blood back toward the heart.
Venous insufficiency happens when the veins in the legs stop moving blood efficiently back toward the heart. Dr. J. Keith Thompson diagnoses venous insufficiency with an ultrasound exam, then recommends a treatment plan — which may include vein ablation, sclerotherapy, or microphlebectomy — based on which veins are affected.

Who This Helps
Purvis patients often come to the Vein Institute with one or more of these symptoms or questions about venous insufficiency:
- Varicose veins or spider veins
- Leg swelling, heaviness, aching, or cramping
- Skin changes on the lower leg
- Restless or tired legs, especially after standing
How It Works & Recovery
Your visit begins with a straightforward check-in, followed by time with your provider to go over your symptoms and concerns. Most patients also have an ultrasound exam the same day, which helps confirm the diagnosis before any treatment is recommended.
Treating venous insufficiency is designed to relieve discomfort, improve circulation, and help prevent complications like varicose veins, venous ulcers, or skin changes from progressing.
Why Purvis Patients Choose The Vein Institute
Patients from Purvis choose the Vein Institute because our Hattiesburg office is approx. 16 mi (about 20 min) away and is staffed by a board-certified vein specialist rather than a general practice that treats veins occasionally. Dr. J. Keith Thompson is double board-certified in general and vascular surgery and is a Diplomate of the American Board of Venous and Lymphatic Medicine.
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.
Purvis is approx. 16 mi (about 20 min) from our Hattiesburg office at 6169 U.S. 98, Ste 30, Hattiesburg, MS 39402. Many Purvis patients combine their consultation and ultrasound into a single trip.
