Roughly 30-60% of the general population is affected with some type of vein problem.  In a normal vein, valves work to move the blood back to the heart.  When valves malfunction, blood pools in the veins. This condition is known as venous insufficiency.  While venous insufficiency is not considered a serious health problem, it can cause varicose veins, leg pain and swelling, skin discoloration and ulcerations.

Treatment for varicose veins can range from conservative treatments like wearing compression stockings and elevating your legs to surgical intervention to remove the damaged vein. As an experienced vascular surgeon, Dr. Golan is the most qualified physician to treat vein problems. The comprehensive skill set of a practicing vascular surgeon is an important differentiating factor in the crowded field of vein treatment.
