All too often we see people with varicose veins ignore their health risks, because they believe their symptoms are simply a natural part of aging. Not only can venous disease and chronic venous insufficiency present in ways other than varicose veins, but they are also progressive conditions, which means the symptoms will worsen over time. To help you take that first step to healthier legs, we’re hosting a free vein screening week from March 24-28!
This free and educational service will allow you to learn about and recognize signs, symptoms and potential risks of venous disease. A limited venous ultrasound will be completed during the screening, and the exam and ultrasound results will be provided to you immediately afterward, which you can then share with your primary care physician. Here’s everything you need to know:
What Is Free Vein Screening Week?
Dr. McNeill and Dr. Rosenberg will be offering screening appointments to identify potential vein problems, like varicose veins, spider veins, phlebitis, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), venous stasis dermatitis, venous ulceration, lymphedema and lipedema. Screenings are important for early detection and can help prevent more serious conditions down the road. Visitors will receive a focused exam of the legs, a limited venous ultrasound, and documentation of screening results.
Why Should I Attend?

Many venous issues don’t present obvious symptoms in the beginning, making them easy to ignore.
