Top 5 Qualities of the Best Varicose Vein Center in California

spider and varicose vein treatment center

#1. The Location

When looking for a vein treatment center, you must consider its location and proximity to your home or office. Modernย vein treatmentsย are fairly simple and conclude within an hour, allowing patients to resume their daily activities without significantly restructuring their daily schedule. However, thatโ€™s only true if you choose a varicose vein center near your location.

Vein Treatment Clinicย is one of the most accessible and conveniently-located vein centers for patients in and around San Diego. Our vein center is located at 5330 Carroll Canyon Rd Suite 140, San Diego โ€” itโ€™s in the La Jolla neighborhood right outside San Diego, a short drive from the nearbyย Westfield UTCย shopping center. You mayย schedule an appointment onlineย or call us at +1 858-461-7886.

#2. The Reviews

You must go through a vein centerโ€™s patient reviews and testimonials โ€” itโ€™s one of the best means of learning about their patient care standards and general vein treatment experience. Instead of reading patient reviews on the vein centerโ€™s website (where they can easily manipulate the review), go through the vein centerโ€™s Google listings for reliable reviews.

VTC San Diego has exceptionalย 5-star reviewsย from patients. One of our recent patients said: โ€œDr. Billy and his staff are wonderful, and I have always felt comfortable at my appointments. Dr. Billy explains everything he does as he is doing it and is very thorough. I had a very difficult set of veins that felt like ropes, on the outside, that was twisting in many different directions, and amazingly he was able to get through to each one, which was no easy task as I could see myself on the screen. After taking care of the veins inside my legs that were not flowing properly, causing them to be tired and achy, and the horrible looking ones that protruded from my legs in several areas, I look and feel so much better! I can’t thank him and his staff enough for the excellent care!โ€

Vein Treatment Clinic is widely considered the best varicose vein center in California. This article highlights the 5 qualities that make our vein clinic exceptional and unique.

#3. The Vein Doctors

You must look for vein centers with exceptional board-certified vein specialists since theyโ€™re the ones whoโ€™ll eventually treat your varicose veins and spider veins. The vein doctors should be friendly, compassionate, and specialize in the latest minimally invasive varicose vein treatments.

VTC San Diego is led by some of the best board-certified vascular surgeons in California, including Dr. Jasmine Koo, Dr. Billy Schoenfeld, and Dr. Carly Guthrie. Theyโ€™re incredibly talented vein doctors with specialized training in vascular imaging and the latest minimally invasive varicose vein treatments. The following is a brief introduction to our vein doctors:

  • Dr. Jasmine Koo: She has specialized training in venous medicine and minimally invasive vein treatments. She completed her residency in Diagnostic Radiology in Detroit Medical Center, followed by a fellowship in minimally invasive procedures at the University of Texas Interventional Radiology Department.
  • Dr. Billy Schoenfeld: Heโ€™s a double board-certified vein doctor specializing in venous medicine, anesthesiology, and critical care. He completed his advanced fellowship training at the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, and heโ€™s written several chapters in Harvard textbooks.
  • Dr. Carly Guthrie: Sheโ€™s a double board-certified medical director at VTC, California. She has specialized training in venous medicine, cardiology, and anesthesiology, and exceptional training background, having completed her residency at Harvardโ€™s Brigham and Womenโ€™s Hospital.

#4. The Treatments

You must look for vein centers providing the latest minimally invasive varicose vein treatments instead of surgical procedures. Minimally invasive procedures conclude within an hour, cause no complications, and involve no downtime, while surgeries have a relatively high risk of complications. In 2021, no respectable vein center should be recommending vascular surgeries as a viable treatment option for varicose veins and spider veins.

Vein Treatment Clinic provides the latest varicose vein treatments after carefully diagnosing the root cause of your vein problems. We use the latest diagnostic methods (duplex ultrasound) to visualize the blood flow in your leg veins, identify the root cause of your varicose veins and spider veins, and curate the treatment plan accordingly. The following is an overview of our minimally invasive varicose vein treatments:

  • Radiofrequency Ablation: A catheter is inserted into the diseased saphenous vein via an incision on the skinโ€™s surface. The catheter delivers thermal energy to shut down the problematic vein.
  • Endovenous Laser Ablation: An endovenous laser is inserted into the diseased vein via an incision on the skinโ€™s surface. The laser fiber delivers laser energy to shut down the problematic vein.
  • VenaSeal: A medical adhesive is injected into the diseased vein to seal its walls and reroute the accumulated blood to healthier leg veins.
  • Ambulatory Phlebectomy: Incisions are made on the surface of the skin to physically extract the superficial varicose veins and spider veins.
  • Sclerotherapy: Special medications are injected into the spider veins to fuse their walls, turning them into scar tissues eventually absorbed by the skinโ€™s surface.

#5. The Insurance

The best vein care centers must help you achieve optimal insurance coverage for your varicose vein treatment. Most varicose vein treatments are covered by insurance plans if you have underlying venous insufficiency โ€” the vein center must discuss all your treatment options according to your insurance plan.

Vein Treatment Clinic accepts all major insurance plans and also provides free insurance verification. Our vein care staff go through your insurance details to provide a detailed breakdown of the costs involved before your vein treatment begins. We also extend insurance coverage to sclerotherapy spider vein treatment if you have underlying venous insufficiency.
