We performed 11 operations in our Atlanta Vein Clinic the past two days. Our Atlanta patients are really enjoying nice results, and are sending more and more patients to us for evaluation and treatment. Doctors in Atlanta are beginning to recognize our presence there. Emory University doctors whom we trained are referring patients each week. I really enjoy Atlanta and the vibrancy of the city, so much to see and do. Looking forward to more time there as we see more and more patients.
I just operated on a sweet lady from Montgomery. She suffered a vein stasis ulcer on her ankle for 22 years, so very sad. She has been treated in a wound center for the past one and one-half years, skin grafts have been placed, she has much scar tissue from her treatments.
ALL SHE NEEDS IS PROPER VEIN TREATMENT, AND THE WOUND AND ULCER WILL HEAL WITHIN 2 TO 4 MONTHS!
After her surgery this morning, she was taken home by her family. I will chronicle how fast the ulcer heals. 93% of these vein ulcers never re-occur. Such a shame these patients are not referred for proper vein treatment. Soon I will post her photos on the web site.
Following major vein treatments, most of our patients may exercise within one week – with the compression stockings in place. If only spider vein treatments, there is no downtime, and exercise with stockings may resume the following day. Stockings should be worn at least two weeks in the daytime after major vein treatments, and at least one week after spider vein treatments.
Interesting, the cost depends upon the provider since spider veins are not insurance covered. Currently, our cost is only $300 to treat both legs, front and back including ankles and feet. This is very inexpensive, for treating these small veins is difficult and requires very good hand-eye skills. In June, the cost will increase to $400 for the same treatment, still very inexpensive when compared to almost anyone in the U.S. Plus our staff is experienced and very skilled.
