What Does a Vein Doctor Do?
A vein doctor, or phlebologist, specializes in diagnosing and treating conditions that affect the veins, including:
- Varicose veins – Bulging, twisted veins that cause discomfort and circulation problems
- Spider veins – Small, visible veins that may cause itching or burning
- Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) – A condition where blood pools in the legs due to weak vein valves
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) – A serious condition involving a blood clot in a deep vein
- Venous ulcers – Non-healing wounds caused by poor circulation
- Leg swelling and pain – Often related to vein dysfunction and poor circulation
At Midwest Vein & Laser, we specialize in minimally invasive vein treatments to relieve symptoms, improve circulation, and enhance your overall leg health.
When Should You See a Vein Doctor?
Many people ignore vein problems until they become severe, but early intervention can prevent serious complications like skin damage, chronic pain, and blood clots. You should schedule a consultation with a vein doctor if you experience:
- Leg pain, heaviness, or aching that worsens after standing
- Swelling in the legs or ankles
- Visible varicose veins or spider veins
- Skin discoloration, thickening, or sores that won’t heal
- A history of blood clots (DVT) or family history of vein disease
If you are unsure whether you need to see a vein doctor, a simple vein screening at Midwest Vein & Laser can determine if further evaluation is needed.

FAQs About Vein Doctors & Vein Treatment
Yours questions answered.
Is seeing a vein doctor necessary if I don’t have visible varicose veins?
Yes! Many vein conditions exist without visible symptoms. Leg pain, swelling, or fatigue may indicate underlying venous insufficiency, which can worsen if left untreated.
Do I need a referral to see a vein doctor?
No referral is required at Midwest Vein & Laser—you can book a consultation directly. However, we work closely with primary care providers if a referral is needed for insurance coverage.
Are vein treatments covered by insurance?
Most insurance plans cover vein treatments when they are medically necessary, such as for varicose veins causing pain or swelling. Our team will help verify your coverage before treatment.
What happens if vein disease is found?
We will discuss your treatment options, which may include minimally invasive procedures like laser ablation, sclerotherapy, or compression therapy. If a more advanced condition is detected (such as Deep Vein Thrombosis), we will provide a referral for hospital-based treatment.
