The natural history of untreated venous insufficiency is the development of vein related complications such as progressive edema and swelling in the affected extremity, leading to insidious onset of skin changes, including thickening of the skin and eventual discoloration from the deposit of red blood cells in the skin. Most of the severe skin changes seen in patients with venous insufficiency are reversible, and once the underlying superficial leaky veins have been treated the skin often returns to a more normal color and texture. Over time, after successful endovenous treatment of severe superficial venous insufficiency, the risks of bleeding and ulceration are also lowered significantly. In summary, most severe appearing skin changes seen in patients with chronic venous insufficiency are secondary to superficial venous dysfunction and once the underlying problems have been treated (with endovenous closure) the skin changes can be halted at the least and reversed in many patients.

Thank you Dr. Magnant for your amazing work. I had 3 types of vein treatments in both my legs this month. It's a fabulous feeling & seeing the results of having no more pain & swelling. My only regret is that I didn't find you 8 years ago when I started having problems. Best part of it, was your surgical table side manner. Thank you for making me laugh!

I experienced pelvic pain for over a year. Multiple doctors, MRI, CT Scans, Xrays, Physical Therapy, Pain Management Injections.....with NO relief. All tried to treat the pain & no one could tell me what was causing the pain. Then I found Vein Specialists........after my initial appointment not only did they diagnose the pain (May Thurner Syndrome) but they had a plan of action to eliminate it. I had many questions & concerns.......all were addressed and I proceeded with the IVUS treatment. I was awake (by choice) during the procedure. Not only was I fascinated with the technology, but I got to witness first hand how amazing Dr. Magnant & his staff were!! I had a post-op concern & Dr. Magnant himself called me on a weekend to address it. I also had issues with my insurance/prescription companies and his wonderful staff solved those (annoying!) issues. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! My new "normal" is PAIN FREE!!!! I highly recommend Vein Specialists!!!!!!

Couldn't be happier I chose Dr. Magnant for my procedure. Both Dr. and staff put you at ease before, during and after the surgery. He specializes and only performs vascular surgery, which is the reason I chose Vein Specialists. Anyone considering varicose vein treatment should seek treatment by Dr. Joseph Magnant!

I sought help primarily for leg pain at the front of my shins. Testing indicated valve leakage in veins in both legs and a bilateral procedure was recommended. A few hours after the right vein procedure was performed I had total relief from the pain. There was minimal discomfort during and afterward. Dr. Magnant and his staff are very knowledgeable and caring. Everything was explained thoroughly from the initial examination, through the procedures, and after the post procedure ultra sounds. Unquestionably the doctor to see for vein problems.

This facility is the real deal. Professional and friendly staff, and a highly skilled surgeon, Dr. Magnant, who treated me for leaky valves.

The procedure was surprisingly quite painless, and throughout the process I was given an explanation of everything that was being done.
I am scheduled for a follow up procedure to complete my treatment, and I am confident that my next experience will be as positive as the first.
Thank you to everyone involved.

I just had my follow-up ultrasound done on my left leg today. I had the right leg done on Monday of last week. Glad to report no clots in either leg. Clotting is the complication they seemed most concerned about.

If any of my friends are dealing with the pain and discomfort of varicose veins or just tired of the ugly appearance of bulging veins in your legs. I can highly recommend Dr Magnant and his extremely professional staff.
I have had visible veins in my right leg since a knee injury when I was a teenager. Over the years it had grown to affect both legs. Likely from always being on my feet for work, and especially because I often had employment that involved a lot of crouching/squatting down. Sometimes until my lower legs fell asleep. I fortunately have always been an active person outside of work and regular exercise kept the pain at bay for many years. But I'm no spring chicken anymore.
A little over two years ago, my assignment changed at work and I now spend more time at my desk . Within a few months the pain at the end of the day really began bothering me (and I have a very high pain tolerance).
This was the third specialist I had been to locally in the last two years. I don't want to name the others, however I will say that they all seemed to be rather disorganized for a medical facility, or the staff seemed to be overwhelmed and the diagnostic procedures (ultrasound particularly) done before the actual surgery were not even comparable to the level of care I received from every member of the staff here.
I am also very fortunate and blessed to have excellent insurance that covered the procedure 100% since my deductible was already met for the year. - Karen Kaye Corirossi
