During your initial visit to our center, an in-depth interview, a physical examination and a vascular examination will be conducted by one of our surgeons.  A personalized treatment plan will then be formulated and discussed in detail with you by the surgeon.

If warranted by the doctor’s findings upon examination, he may suggest a color duplex ultrasound.  This painless examination is performed in our office, by the surgeon, to determine if any abnormalities exist in the venous system that could be causing your particular problem.  This in-house examination not only provides a continuity of care with your chosen surgeon but also serves as an educational tool for our patients.  The surgeon will explain, in easy to understand terminology, the anatomy and blood flow patterns shown on the ultrasound screen.  He will also take the time needed to answer any questions you may have.  Having your ultrasound in our office also eliminates additional travel times going to an alternative facility.  Our practice utilizes the Terason t3000 system which is the most advanced and up-to-date system currently available for ultrasounding.
