More Than a Cosmetic Concern
Thomas S. came to United Vein & Vascular Centers in Gilbert after noticing changes in the appearance of his legs. While his initial concerns were cosmetic, he also began wondering what the visible veins and discoloration could mean for his overall vein health and decided to have them evaluated.
After his evaluation, Thomas moved forward with radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and Varithena® to address the affected veins.
One of the first changes Thomas noticed after treatment was an improvement in the discoloration that had originally concerned him. As treatment progressed, he also saw improvements in the overall appearance of his legs and noticed better movement and circulation.
For Thomas, the value of treatment also comes from thinking about his health over the long term. While some changes may be more noticeable than others right away, he believes addressing his vein concerns now was time well spent and an important step toward supporting his circulation in the future.
Thomas also spoke highly of his experience with the Gilbert team. He described every visit as timely, organized, and welcoming, sharing that the staff was consistently kind and attentive throughout his care. His experience was so positive that he said he would recommend the clinic to anyone considering treatment.
For those who may be unsure about seeking care, Thomas encourages doing the research and learning more about what may be happening beneath the surface. Working for UPS, he has seen other drivers experience similar vein concerns, making him increasingly aware of how common these issues can be among people who spend long hours on their feet.
