What other type of doctor treat varicose veins since i cannot locate interventional radiologist or vascular surgeon on my ppo plan. advice?

Wear support hose: The reason to treat varicose veins is to prevent post phlebitis syndrome and painful enlargement of veins of leg. The veins are usually removed by stripping or injections to clot the veins and are performed by a vascular surgeon or interventional radiologist. The alternative is to wear compression socks when walking which collapse the veins and accomplish almost as much as surgery.

Varicose veins: Varicose veins can be treated by a general surgeon or a vascular surgeon. Occasionally a plastic surgeon. Look for someone board certified in surgery, and/or someone with special training/board certification in vein surgery. There are many vein clinics today so it shouldn't be hard to find a specialist. Finding a doctor on your plan, that's a different problem. No easy answers to insurance today

Cardiologist: Some cardiologists, plastic surgeons and family practitioners also treat varicose veins. Just make sure they have extensive training and not just some week long course.

Dont Base it on PPO: It is a bad idea to base your decision on who to see for a medical problem base on who is on your PPO plan. Recommend that you seek someone with the right level of education, training, & experience even if it means they are not in your PPO. The specialists that are board-certified in all from of varicose vein treatments (intervention, surgery, medical therapy) are vascular surgeons per ABMS.org.
