Walking Farther with Less Swelling and Heaviness
For Laura G., swelling in her feet and ankles had started to interfere with daily comfort and mobility. After noticing persistent swelling and heaviness in both legs, her podiatrist recommended a vein evaluation to determine whether circulation issues could be contributing to her symptoms.
Laura came to United Vein & Vascular Centers–Arlington Heights, where she underwent vein ablation treatment to address the underlying cause of her leg symptoms. The goal was to reduce swelling, relieve heaviness, and help her move more comfortably.
Following treatment, Laura noticed meaningful improvements. Swelling and heaviness in both legs decreased, and she’s now able to walk longer distances without pain. What once limited her endurance has become far more manageable, allowing her to stay active with greater ease.
She also shared positive feedback about her experience with the care team. Laura describes the staff as friendly, patient, and supportive, and spoke highly of Dr. Klein, noting her knowledge, kindness, and approachable manner. Feeling informed and at ease throughout treatment made a lasting impression.
When asked what she would tell someone who’s unsure about seeking care, Laura’s advice was simple: definitely come here.
