“Vein disease is largely underdiagnosed, which leads to worsening symptoms. I often see patients who have suffered for years, not knowing treatments were available and that pain relief was possible. Not only are treatments gentle, but treated veins don’t come back. It’s very rewarding to be able to provide relief for my patients, especially if they’ve been living in pain.”
