Younger Legs! We help you have Younger Legs! Legs that look and feel younger!


Veins are a 'women's problem'....NOT TRUE! Half of our patients are men.

Vein treatment is 'cosmetic'.....NOT TRUE! 96% of our work is 'medically necessary' and paid for by Medicare and private insurance plans.

"If my legs look fine, the veins must be ok".....NOT TRUE! Patients can have terrible varicose veins INSIDE the legs with painful, tired legs and their legs can appear to be perfectly normal. 90% of varicose veins are inside the leg. A patient with symptoms needs our ultrasound evaluation....it is very clear cut....you either have vein valve failure or you do not.

Vein treatment is 'expensive'........NOT TRUE! Except for simple, cosmetic spider vein injections, Medicare and private insurance plans pay for all investigations and treatments. And, for our self-pay patients, we offer the 'Care Credit' plan with markedly reduced costs and no interest for the first year.

Vein treatment is 'painful'........NOT TRUE! We do three types of treatment and none are painful.

Vein treatment 'takes a long time',........NOT TRUE! Each of the three treatments we offer takes about 45 minutes in the office.

Recovery from vein treatment is long........NOT TRUE! Patients can go back to normal activity the same day from all treatments.

Weight loss is important........NOT TRUE! Weight has nothing to do with valve failure. Many of our patients are lean triatheletes.

Crossing one's legs causes vein problems........NOT TRUE! Simply a myth!
