Vein disease: Underdiagnosed and under treated

Question: I have leg problems and possible vein disease. My doctor says it’s not anything to worry about. But I don’t want to get an ulcer like my father. What should I do?

Answer: There is very good news for those who are concerned about their legs. At the Ashton Vein Center, you can be confident that our physicians and nurses are top-notch in the field of phlebology. Your legs should look and feel good.

Discoloration, swelling and discomfort are all signs that you may have chronic venous insufficiency and vein disease. We have noticed that some doctors do not believe that venous disease represents a correctible condition. If not treated, the condition is progressive, getting more severe as we age. After treatment in the office, with no down time, you will feel much better. Imagine how much you will enjoy your daily activities and no more worries about blood clots.

More good news: Ashton Vein Center is dedicated exclusively to the most comprehensive vein care available anywhere. The expertise, experience, training, and caring attitude of our medical and support staff are unequaled in the field of phlebology. Our group has successfully performed thousands of vein procedures over a combined 40 years of clinical experience.

Our staff has been involved with the American College of Phlebology, serving as faculty members, committee members, and clinical research projects.

You can expect – and will receive – the best of vein care at Ashton Vein Center. We will meet or exceed all your expectations while doing everything possible to minimize your out-of-pocket expenses.

We want our patients to make their decisions for treatment based on the latest and most accurate phlebology information available. This requires tremendous effort in educating our patients about the misinformation that is so prevalent. Some of this misinformation comes from medical personnel and physicians who are not fully up to date on the latest FDA-approved procedures. We use only the highest standards in treating vein disease.
