Vein Clinic

At Medstar we offer treatment for a complete spectrum of vein disorders, from cosmetic concerns, such as spider veins, through to varicose veins and serious venous complications.

Varicose veins affect a large proportion of adult women and men and they aren’t always limited to cosmetics, however. These failing blood vessels can cause aches, pains, and itchiness in your legs, which may also become tired more easily. Superficial venous insufficiency and varicose veins, generally two forms of the same condition, are considered a medical problem. Varicose veins appear as non-colored soft bumps over the legs, visible when standing and disappearing when lying flat.

Our Specialists will carry out a clinical evaluation of the symptoms, as well as an assessment along with diagnostic testing, such as an ultrasound to help identify the cause of the varicose veins and determine the best surgical or non-surgical treatment options.
