When deciding on who you will utilize to provide comprehensive vein treatment, it is important to seek the most qualified individual, who has the most experience, training and expertise. Although many health-care provides claim to provide treatment for vein issues, the question is whether they are specialists in dealing with and treating vein disease and disorders. At a minimum, a patient should inquire as to whether the physician is a phlebologist, a person who is specifically trained to treat venous disease. A second question to consider is whether the physician you are consulting with is a specialist in ultrasound techniques and has been specially trained therein. Ultrasound is a critical component in diagnosing and treating venous issues given that vein disease is often not visible on the surface of the skin. Therefore, to adequately diagnose and treat the problem, the physician must utilize ultrasound to investigate the entire venous system. Third, patients should inquire as to the number of procedures the physician has performed, whether the physician is a surgeon and seek to view before and after results of the physician. These questions will demonstrate the competency of the physician in sclerotherapy, endovenous laser treatment and usage of radio-frequency in treating vein disease. Vein specialists such as Dr. Michael Orcutt at Centers for Advanced Vein Care of Montana, is certified by the American Board of Surgery, a member of the American College of Phlebology and a Registered Vascular Technician and expert in ultrasound techniques. Thus, when considering varicose vein treatment in Montana, and varicose veins treatment in general, Dr. Orcutt, having performed thousands of cases, is a clear choice for quality care. http://www.cavc.com/
