Vascular Surgeon: A physician board certified in both vascular surgery and phlebology specializes in venous disorders and will be the most knowledable resource for your care. You can search for a vein specialist in your area with these credentials by visiting the american college of phlebology website: http://www.Acpsite.Net/ and go to the "find a physician page".

Venous Stasus ulcer: You should see a wound care specialist in your area. Look for the cws certification which stands for certified wound specialist. In a comprehensive wound care center, the group of professionals will provide you with information, treatment, and referral to subspecialists like vascular surgeons that specialize in veins.

Treat the cause: Although a wound care center or a vein specialist can treat your ulcer, it is important to make sure that you treat the cause (venous insufficiency) of the ulcer. Treating your vein problem will help your ulcer heal more quickly and will also help to keep it from coming back once it is healed.
