• Laser ablation of varicose veins – Laser energy is used to close the unhealthy veins, allowing blood to reroute through healthy veins. This is performed in an outpatient hospital setting.
• Vein stripping/removal – The unhealthy vein is removed through a small incision in the skin. As with laser ablation, this allows the blood to reroute through healthy veins. This is performed in an outpatient hospital setting.
• Ambulatory phlebectomy – Minimally invasive procedure that removes varicose veins through small incisions in the skin.
• Thrombolysis of DVT/PE – “Clot busting” is a minimally invasive procedure where a catheter is placed into the vein to deliver a blood thinner directly to the clot.
• Medical management of DVT – An oral medication is prescribed by your doctor to manage the clot and help prevent formation of new clots.
• Laser treatment of spider veins – In-office procedure where laser energy is applied to the skin to reduce the appearance of spider veins in the legs or face.
• Wound care for leg ulcers – Once a leg wound is diagnosed, you can be treated by our team or referred to Willis Knighton Wound Care.
• Hematology for recurrent blood clots – If you experience recurring blood clots, our hematology department can evaluate the cause and devise a treatment plan.
