Feel Confident Showing Your Legs Again with Vein Treatment in Lexington, SC
Your first visit will be an evaluation of your symptoms/complaints and provide a diagnosis. All information about your symptoms, family history, medication and other health conditions, will be taken by a member of our clinical staff. Your physician will carefully evaluate your symptoms, provide a clear and accurate diagnosis, and guide you through a personalized treatment plan—ensuring you fully understand every step of your care.
If you are diagnosed with vein disease, it may be recommended for you to have a diagnostic ultrasound to determine the location(s) of the disease, among other factors. The diagnostic ultrasound is done at our facility and you will be scheduled (if you choose to) at the end of your first visit. An ultrasound is a non-invasive test performed by a qualified sonographer. Ultrasound uses sound waves to generate images of your veins and blood flow. These images help us find potential sources for your symptoms.
