Dr. Magnant opened the doors at Vein Specialists in Fort Myers in 2006 with a commitment to focus his vascular surgery practice 100% on the modern evaluation and minimally invasive therapy of venous disease. Vein Specialists has remained focused on venous disease management since day 1, and has continued to grow to meet the demands of southwest Florida over its history. The Bonita Springs office was opened in 2014 to better serve the patients of southern Lee and Collier counties. Dr. Magnant works alongside 4 advanced medical providers including 3 nurse practitioners and 1 Physician Assistant. The Vascular laboratory employs 8 full and part time registered vascular sonographers or technologists who are responsible for performing the diagnostic ultrasound examinations. Both offices are accredited Vein Centers and Vascular laboratories, certified by the prestigious Intersocietal Accreditation Commission (IAC).
With the introduction of endovenous ablation technology in 2000, patients once thought to be too high a surgical risk for vein stripping became candidates for ultrasound investigation and minimally invasive, outpatient endovenous ablation procedures. Vein specialists treats the full spectrum of venous disease from spider veins to venous ulcers and everything in between including varicose veins, swollen legs, stasis pigmentation and stasis dermatitis. Dr. Magnant believes he owes it to his patients to offer the most advanced and time tested treatment technologies available including ClosureFAST (radiofrequency) and Venacure (LASER) thermal ablation techniques as well as Venaseal (medical adhesive) vein closure. Vein Specialists also offers ultrasound guided Varithena and Asclera injection sclerotherapy for medical venous disease indications in addition to liquid sclerotherapy for cosmetic indications. Dr. Magnant developed an interest in diagnosing and treating pelvic vein obstructions (iliac vein compression syndrome, May Thurner syndrome, pelvic congestion syndrome) in 2016 when he noted a small percentage of his patients were not candidates for the traditional closure techniques, yet still appeared to suffer from significant venous hypertension. This led him to construct and open a state-of-the-art interventional suite in May 2017 at the Fort Myers office location where he has offering selected patients diagnostic intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and IVUS directed iliac vein stent procedures.
Vein Specialists’ outpatient approach to the comprehensive management of venous disease and their performance of the full spectrum of minimally invasive venous procedures under local anesthesia with optional oral or IV conscious sedation (for IVUS cases, enables patients to avoid the risks of general or regional anesthesia, and other hospital-related inconveniences and ensures a safe, effective, efficient and nearly painless treatment and recovery.
