QUESTIONS TO ASK WHEN PICKING A VEIN CLINIC
Does the facility offer more than one treatment modality for varicose veins?
Your needs come first!
We tailor your care to your needs, not to what we have available in our clinic!
At Lakeshore Veins we offer Laser vein ablation, radiofrequency ablation, Venaseal, sclerotherapy— with or without ultrasound guidance and micro phlebectomy. We can tailor a plan which is right for you.
Is the physician board certified, Is the Clinic Accredited?
Quality comes first!
Look for the distinction of Board Certification – especially in a specialty that does procedures. Board Certification means your physician had the ability and desire to achieve a special distinction in their field that shows dedication to excellence and safety.
If the vein center you are considering has board certified physicians: Is their training in a specialty which normally performs procedures? At Lakeshore Veins, Dr. Anne Bartel is Board Certified in Interventional Radiology and has performed thousands of image guided procedures. She is also a diplomat of the American Board of Venous and Lymphatic Medicine specifically geared towards diagnosis and treatment of venous disease.
Lakeshore Veins is nationally accredited both as a Vein Center and as a Vein Diagnostic testing center. Look for the seals of quality.
How is the ultrasound mapping done?
Knowledge comes first!
The ultrasound mapping is critical in determining which procedures work best for you. Is the person who is doing your ultrasound trained in vascular ultrasound. Venous anatomy is variable and an inaccurate map could mean an inadequate procedure for you.
At Lakeshore Veins, Dr. Anne Bartel is a Board Certified Diagnostic Radiologist and in trained in reading mapping ultrasounds. She is also a Registered Vascular Technologist (RVT) and is certified to perform vascular ultrasounds.
Does the facility reprocess catheters?
Safety first!
Many facilities save money by re-sterilizing the expensive Laser or Radiofrequency catheters and use them in many patients. Reusing catheters puts you at a small risk for contaminants from other patients. Although a small risk, why take the chance?
At Lakeshore Veins, all laser, radiofrequency fibers and catheters are “single use” and not used in multiple patients. Your safety is our number 1 priority.
Can you have the procedure done without sedation?
Your comfort first!
Now you may answer that question – who would want to. But at Lakeshore Veins the procedure is not painful. We are not using the time you are “out” focusing on our own needs, but instead making sure your comfort is a priority. You do not need to be sedated, but should you prefer, we can prescribe medications to aid with anxiety.
