Patient Testimonial

We would love to hear your story. If you have been with us, please send in your testimonial about your experience with Indiana Vein & Laser Center by clicking here. Thank you Cindy for sending this in!

“I am very pleased with the treatment and the results that Dr. Jimenez recommended for my recurrent varicose veins. I had my legs stripped in the past, but within a few years my varicose veins were back. Dr. Jimenez found the source of my vein problems, and after having the laser treatment I no longer have problems with varicose veins or swelling of my legs. The cosmetic results are awesome ... my tiny incisions are practically invisible! Dr. Jimenez and his staff are professional, caring, and specially trained with the latest technology to fix my problems for good."

Do insurance companies pay for varicose vein treatment?

 The majority of insurance companies cover varicose vein procedures for patients experiencing symptoms. Insurance companies are attracted to the fact that our procedures eliminate the need for hospitalization, general anesthesia, and lengthy recovery times. They like to see that patients have attempted conservative treatment such as elevation and compression hose.

Risk Factors For Vein Disease

Understanding the risk factors that come along with vein disease is a serious matter. Aging, menopause, and obesity are often linked to vein disorders although the most common factor for the development of varicose or spider veins is heredity - simply being born with weak vein valves. Additionally, increased pressure in the veins, such as that caused by prolonged standing, pregnancy, birth control pills, hormones, leg injury, and blood clots, are often the cause of vein diseases.
