Vein Removal Surgery in Tampa

Veins of any size should be treated by a physician who specializes in vein care. One needs to consider underlying venous physiology before beginning treatment of any kind. Significant venous reflux can be the cause of superficial veins and needs to be corrected first. This includes spider veins.

You should be treated by someone who understands venous physiology and who can offer all modalities of treatment. As Board Certified Vascular Surgeons, Drs. Kerr and Valentin understand the underlying disease process and can choose among all techniques available to decide your best treatment course.

Many "vein specialists" cannot offer a full complement of treatment options and are biased toward the procedures they do perform.

Veins
Vein Conditions

It is estimated that close to 30 million people currently suffer from some type of disorder of the veins.


Your veins are a critical component of your body’s circulation process, but are frequently overlooked and taken for granted. It is because of the lack of attention to the veins that conditions such as blood clots (venous thrombosis) occur.

Up to 30 percent of women and 20 percent of men who have some form of vein problem develop these life-threatening blood clots. Left untreated, this can often lead to debilitating problems in the legs and sometimes dangerous clots that can move upward to the lungs.
