What you need to consider..
Before trusting the treatment of your varicose veins to just anyone, you might want to ask the following questions:
Are the physicians performing my procedure well trained?
Prior to forming Georgia Vein, Dr. Kerwin was on faculty of Emory University School of Medicine and Dr. Rao was on faculty at Harvard University School of Medicine. Both attended Emory University School of Medicine for their medical degrees and are both Board Certified in the diagnosis and treatment of vascular diseases.
Who performs my venous ultrasound:
At Georgia Vein Specialists, only a physician will perform all aspects of your varicose vein treatment. Other practices may use an ultrasound technologist to perform the exam. This could lead to a missed or incorrect diagnosis if one person performs the exam while another person interprets the study.
Leading experts (such as Robert Min, MD of Cornell Vascular, one of the developers of laser vein treatment) advocate the physician who performs the vein treatment also perform the ultrasound.
Who performs my sclerotherapy:
Drs. Kerwin and Rao perform all sclerotherapy procedures themselves, many other practices allow technicians or other assistants to perform this procedure.
Who performs my laser treatment:
Drs. Kerwin and Rao perform all laser procedures themselves. Many other practices allow technicians or other assistants to perform the ultrasound guidance portion of the procedure.
