Our Office
Clinic
The Austin Vein and Vascular Clinic is devoted to the evaluation and treatment of venous disorders. Our goal is to offer the latest scientifically proven treatments for all venous disorders. Whether the problem is cosmetic or a significant medical problem, we have the capability of diagnosing and treating the full spectrum of vein problems. One significant benefit of the new technology is that we no longer have to admit patients to the hospital for interventions. Almost all of the procedures we do are performed here in the clinic under local anesthesia. No sedation or general anesthesia is required. No hospital costs or inconveniences are incurred.
Our minimally invasive techniques eliminate the down time associated with venous procedures of the past. Most patients drive themselves to the office and back home after treatments, avoiding the inconvenience of disrupting the schedules of family or friends. Moms can get back to taking care of the kids that day and most workers can get back to work the next day.
Our procedures are safe, proven, and cost effective, and as a result most major insurers and Medicare will cover the costs associated with treatment. For all medically necessary procedures, our staff obtains preauthorization approval from your insurance company before we proceed with an intervention. Once this has been obtained we will schedule according to your convenience.
We are a small practice - taking particular care to provide high-quality, one-on-one service in a comfortable and convenient setting.
