What prior medical procedures have you had? What diagnoses have you had? Did your parents have varicose veins?

What should I bring with me?

If you have had prior vein treatment please bring with you any records from that procedure. Plan to arrive about 15 minutes early to fill out your paperwork.

What should I expect during my exam

If you need tests, they’re painless and noninvasive. When you come for your appointment you may at some point be examined using ultrasound, a painless and noninvasive procedure that uses sound waves to create an image. This is why we ask that you wear comfortable clothes. Also, to ensure the most accurate diagnosis and care, all our ultrasounds are performed by accredited technologists and interpreted by Dr. Gilvydis or Physician Assistant Mark Whitney.
