My name is Karen B. The purpose of this letter is to advise you of the excellent service I received while being in the care of Dr. Edwards. I was having severe pain, varicose veins and swelling in my legs and ankles, so I consulted Dr. Edwards back in September of this year. He advised me of a procedure called the VNUS Closure. I must say I was a little apprehensive at first, but Dr. Edwards assured me that this procedure would solve all of my problems, so with that in mind, not to mention his comforting approach; I decided to have the surgery. Lets just say, I have never felt so light on my feet! I no longer have swelling or aching legs. I am able to walk through the mall, clean house, just do whatever, all in one day. No more suffering with pain and fatigue. Now, with the new and improved me, I find myself happier and looking forward to doing things.

When a client is seen for the first time for vein disorders, Dr. Edwards completes a History and Physical exam and obtains photographs of the legs. It is important to list all medical problems, previous surgeries, allergies, family history of varicose veins and medications taken. After the initial visit, an ultrasound evaluation of the legs is scheduled and the results are discussed with the patient. All of this information is forwarded to the patient's insurance carrier for authorization. Once obtained, the Closure procedure can be scheduled.
On the day of the procedure, plan on someone taking you home. Even though you will feel like you can drive, this is a safety precaution. You will be taken to the procedure room where you leg is marked with a pen using ultrasound. Afterwards, the assistant will prepare your leg and cleanse it with antiseptic. Dr. Edwards then performs the vein access, anesthetic and closure procedure which in most cases takes no more than 15 minutes. Afterwards, the assistant will place dressings and wrap your leg. Instructions will be given for follow up tests and you will 'walk' out of the office. In most cases, you will spend no more than an hour of your time for the procedure. You will be encouraged to walk and resume normal activities, work, and drive the next day. Tylenol or Aleve is recommended for any discomfort after the procedure.
Dr. Edwards recommends for patients after the Closure procedure to obtain follow up ultrasound and office visit in 1 week. This is performed to check for blood clots which is extremely rare and to evaluate the effectiveness of the procedure. Most patients will note that their leg feels 'lighter' within 24 hours after Closure. Visible varicose veins may take a few weeks to slowly resolve. Persistant varicose veins may be treated with the RFS Stylet or Foam Sclerotherapy if present. Mild side effects include swelling, muscle tightness or bruising but generally does not limit the patient's level of activity.

A return to normal activities typically within a day.
