Varicose Vein Doctor: The best type of doctor to be managing your varicose veins is a vascular surgeon, as they can offer you all of the potential treatments that may be needed. They can provide vein surgery when necessary, from saphenous stripping to phlebectomy. But they can also offer all of the latest modern therapies: vein laser, radiofrequency ablation, and ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy. Seek board-certified.
