Welcome to VeinChat!

Welcome to VeinChat! This forum will hopefully provide a home for both patients and healthcare providers to discuss issues related to modern vein care. Everything from simple cosmetic spider veins to complex recurrent varicose veins are perfect for this blog. Leg pain, venous and arterial circulation, DVT’s, endovenous laser treatment, pitfalls of surgical stripping and ligation, and recent advances in the field will be discussed. What type of physicians treat venous disease, are they board certified, can you ever be cured, does insurance cover my treatment and did pregnancy cause my veiny legs will all be discussed. Patient’s questions or experiences and physician input is wholeheartedly welcomed.
