Why should I see a Vein Specialist for my Varicose Veins?

Answered by
Dr. Rajiv Nagesetty

Seeing a vein specialist for varicose veins ensures accurate diagnosis, advanced imaging, and access to both minimally invasive and surgical treatment options. Vein specialists are trained to evaluate circulation problems, perform ultrasound testing, and provide long-term management to prevent progression and complications.

A vascular surgeon is a specialist who treats diseases of the arteries and veins—essentially the body’s circulation system. This is different from a cardiologist, who focuses mainly on the heart.

Vascular surgeons evaluate patients in the office and perform their own diagnostic testing, most commonly ultrasound imaging, which we interpret ourselves. Treatment generally falls into two categories: minimally invasive procedures performed through a needle or small puncture, and traditional surgical procedures that require an incision.

Another important aspect of vascular surgery is long-term patient care. Many circulation conditions require ongoing follow-up, so we build lasting relationships with our patients to monitor and manage their vascular health over time.
