For the last 15 years, many people know me from my vein care clinics across the state of Missouri. What many people don’t know, is that I was a cardiac surgeon for 10 years who suffered from a vein condition myself. In fact, I had since I was a teenager. My personal experience is what motivated me shift gears in my career and treat vein care patients full time. Here’s my story:
It's one thing to pursue a medical career to help people, but it's another thing when you yourself have walked the path that many of your patients are experiencing. Because I understand what it's like to stop being active because of leg pain, to not be able to join your friends and family in activity...to wonder if there was anything that could be done...I empathize with every one of my patients. When I was 25 years old, I learned about new procedures that revolutionized the treatment process. For me, it was a life-changing experience.
When I was growing up, the only treatment option available was a process called "vein-stripping." Thankfully, modern vein treatment options are available now that are relatively painless and highly effective. Most patients are relaxed and completely comfortable during the process...and many experience a difference after only a few treatments. Because current vein treatment options are so effective, I've made it my mission to reach as many people as possible and free them from the daily dread of life with a vein condition.
