Should You Shop for Discounts on Varicose Vein Treatments?

If you are bothered by unsightly spider or varicose veins, there are many treatment options at your disposal today. The only problem is that treatments performed for cosmetic reasons only are not covered by insurance plans.

Choosing a Vein Doctor

When you start the hunt for a vein doctor, price should not be the first factor you consider. The best doctors will be those that specialize in vein conditions and treatments. These physicians have received training and bring ample experience to the table, providing you with the best possible diagnosis, treatment options and results. These specialists will not likely be posting treatment specials and discounts on their websites.

Other factors to consider when choosing a vein doctor include:

Board Certification

Look for a doctor who is certified by the American Board of Venous and Lymphatic Medicine, which shows the doctor has undergone rigorous training and is committed to keeping up with the latest innovations in vein treatments.

Experience and Training

The physician you choose should have training in the field of phlebology and ample experience working with vein conditions. Other physicians may say they provide vein treatments, but they may not have the expertise to accurately diagnose an underlying vein condition or prescribe the best possible method of treatment.

Patient Comfort

Choose a doctor that makes you feel comfortable. The office and physician should be sensitive to your need for privacy and willing to explain all procedures to you. You should feel all of your questions are answered and that the staff is concerned first and foremost with your comfort level and providing you with the best possible treatment for your condition.

Watch the Discounts!

Yes, there are physicians that offer discounted vein treatments or periodic “specials” on particular procedures. It may be tempting to grab the deal. However, doctors that dedicate their professional lives to the care and treatment of vein condition will not offer those types of incentives to get patients into their office. They will, however, provide financing options to make their procedures more affordable to patients.

When it comes to choosing a vein doctor, experience and training are the most important factors to consider. To learn more about vein treatments or schedule a consultation with Dr. Lev, contact Advanced Varicose Vein Treatments of Manhattan at 212-204-6501.
