March Madness

It’s that time of year again! Everyone is a sports expert. Everyone has the inside scoop. The rankings are in and it’s time to separate the champions from the wanna-bees.

But while across the country, many are fist pumping and rooting for their teams, millions of men are hiding their pain from vein disease. It can be difficult to go out to cheer at the game when you feel older than you are. Tired, achy, heavy legs, often with ankle swelling and big ugly bulging veins, affect upwards of 80 million people in the US every year. You, or someone that you know, may suffer from chronic venous insufficiency, or CVI.

Many men feel that their vein problems are cosmetic, or something that only women get treatment for. This is a myth. Men often have the same symptoms of pain, swelling, cramping, heaviness and fatigue at the end of the day, and this should not be overlooked. Even if you are the type of person who is active and healthy in other aspects of your life, vein disease can affect you.

The good news is that we have easy, non-surgical treatments to fix the problem! Most insurance covers symptomatic vein care, and we have extensive experience in this area. In fact, as a Board Certified Cardiovascular Surgeon, I have now devoted my entire practice to vein treatment, and we are the busiest vascular surgical vein practice in Boca Raton.

So now is the time to take action! Call us to get a free screening at the Kimmel Institute, and finally end your vein suffering. End the madness, and get back out on the court!
