As one of the top vein centers in the Oakland area, we receive many questions from patients regarding our practice and vein treatment options. We understand your concerns about the many procedures out there designed to treat varicose veins and spider veins, and we feel we must help you learn more about the process and the people providing your care.
Here are a few of the most common questions we feel you should ask your vein doctor when you visit our facility.
There are multiple treatment options available for varicose veins and spider veins. The type of treatment you receive depends on the severity of your condition and other factors, such as your medical history. For patients with less severe cases, we may suggest self-care treatment at first, such as wearing compression stockings. Our specialists may also recommend minimally invasive treatments such as sclerotherapy or non-surgical laser therapy such as Radiofrequency Ablation Endovenous Therapy.
To find out if you need vein treatment, you should make an appointment with one of our vein specialists for an exam and evaluation. During your initial visit with us, a specialist will examine your legs and affected veins during a process known as duplex vein scanning using ultrasound equipment. This diagnostic test is very precise and allows our doctors to view your vein structure better. The test usually takes under an hour to complete.
At BASS Vein Center, we have been performing vascular surgeries and other procedures since 1988. Our board-certified vein specialists have many years of experience working with patients just like you and diagnosing a broad range of vein-related conditions. They have the knowledge and understanding needed to provide each patient with an accurate diagnosis. They will suggest treatment options based on your condition and other health factors. To date, we have helped more than 24,000patients achieve a better life with successful vein treatment.
The vein treatment procedures performed here at BASS Vein Center are minimally invasive. Some will only require a local anesthetic. Our specialists will take the time to learn more about your medical history and any particular concerns you may have about treatment before we start suggesting procedures. Most patients only experience mild side effects from our most common vein treatment services, such as itching, redness at the insertion site, or mild bruising.
Most patients will choose to have vein treatment for three reasons: they are tired of how their legs look, they no longer want to live with pain and discomfort, and they do not wish to continue having their lives impacted by their vein issues. Each patient we see at BASS Vein Center is different and each one will experience different results after the treatment. Our specialists will discuss what they feel is the best treatment option to receive optimal results with how your legs look and feel.
