About.
At Vein Solutions South Africa, your health is our priority. We are a medical practice that specializes in the treatment of varicose veins, venous ulcers and spider veins.
To determine if a venous problem exists, a comprehensive evaluation is performed through an in-depth medical history and a physical examination by an experienced specialist surgeon.
In addition, an extensive ultrasound study is performed by a registered sonographer to help determine the diagnosis.
The physician and patient mutually discuss the findings to determine the best treatment plan for the problem.
We are experienced in all vein treatment modalities and are able to recommend the best for the individual.
These procedures are performed daily, in a patient-friendly environment and usually in less than an hour.
