Your local Maryland vascular specialists in Phoenix are more than just surgeons, they are experts in treating and diagnosing common vein concerns.

What Do Vascular Specialists Do?

A vascular surgeon is a specialist who is trained in the vascular system which includes your blood vessels, veins, arteries and circulatory system.

When Do You Need to See a Vascular Specialist?

If you believe that there may be issues with healthy blood flow it is definitely time to call in to see a specialist.

Signs that something may be amiss include the following:

• Spider or varicose veins
• Veins that are painful
• Veins that are hot to touch
• Swollen veins
• Ulcers
• Wounds that are slow to heal

Does a Vascular Specialist Only Perform Surgery?

While surgery is a part of what a specialist does, it is not their sole role.

When you schedule a consultation with a specialist you will discuss your past and current health history and discuss all of your treatment options including surgical and non-surgical treatment alternatives.

If you do require surgery, your doctor will likely offer a range of options based on your induvial needs including laser therapy, open and even minimally invasive surgery.

What Factors Put Me at Risk for Vein Issues?

If you have a past health history of vein issues, or if you have recently been diagnosed with a condition such as peripheral arterial disease you may need to see a specialist.

Some risk factors that put you in a high risk category include those who smoke, have diabetes or even high blood pressure.
