Provided by Doctor.comAfter evaluation, Dr Fern scheduled the vein procedure for the the following week. I was given detailed instructions on how to handle the vein if it should rupture before he could do the repair and told to stop blood thinners 3 days before the procedure. The day of the procedure the veins were visualized with ultrasound to guide the injection of Varithena. Dr Fern was careful to minimize the discomfort of the injection by slowing down if I felt pain. Very pleased with Dr & staff
