If you are suffering from varicose veins, one treatment procedure our doctors at Pacific Vein Care may suggest is ambulatory phlebectomy. Ambulatory phlebectomy is a minimally-invasive surgical procedure for treating varicose veins. During this procedure, doctors remove small portions of superficial veins. This is an outpatient procedure done under superficial local anesthetic. Swiss dermatologist Dr Robert Muller rediscovered this surgical procedure in 1956. Since then, many patients across the world have opted for this procedure to treat their varicose veins.
Is it the Best Choice?
Ambulatory phlebectomy has many benefits when you compare it to major surgical procedures for the treatment of varicose veins. For instance, some of its benefits include minimally-invasive, shorter recovery time and no risks of recurrence.
Am I a Good Candidate For This Procedure?
Ambulatory phlebectomy may be right for you if you are suffering from embarrassment or discomfort caused by varicose veins. Otherwise, during your initial consultation with our vein doctors, we will tell you whether you are the right candidate for this procedure.
Will I Need an Examination First?
During your initial consultation, your doctor will conduct a physical examination and look at your medical history to determine if you are the right candidate for the procedure. Your surgeon will also discuss your expectations and potential outcomes of the procedure.
How Much Does Ambulatory Phlebectomy Cost?
The typical cost of an ambulatory phlebectomy procedure ranges from $500 to about $2,000 per leg. This cost varies depending on many factors such as the extent of varicose veins, the number of veins affected, and the number of treatment sessions required. Your health insurance may cover this procedure if it is performed to treat an underlying medical condition.

I can walk to my mail box again
by John Neumann, patient
Category: reviews“I had problems walking to my mail box when I went to Pacific Vein Care. Dr. Conti found I had vein reflux and artery problems in both of my legs. He did his normal vein procedure on one leg and a special procedure at the hospital on the other leg and corrected the artery problems at the same time. I am very happy with the results from the procedures done at Pacific Vein Care to correct both my veins and artery problems. I can walk to my mail box again and not have to stop and rest part way there.”
I am pleased to say my quality of life is back
by Barbara Hoffman, patient
Category: reviews“For thirty Years I have put up with leg pain, throbbing and swelling due to varicose veins. At 63 years old, I made a choice to have Radiofrequency Ablation therapy and I am pleased to say my quality of life is back. I can now take long walks, exercise and stand for long period of time without discomfort. I recently purchased a pair of tall stylish boots and I can actually zip them up because I no longer suffer from edema.”
The procedures were not hard to go through and the result was a tremendous relief.
by Wayne, patient
Category: reviews“I recently – April/May of 2012 – had VNUS procedures done on my right and left legs. Dr. Conti and his staff were superb in the diagnosis and treatment of my condition. The process was fully explained to me and were virtually pain free. There was some discomfort in the week or two after the procedures which were easily handled by over the counter pain medications. I was impressed with Dr. Conti’s knowledge and professionalism and would recommend anyone waiting to treat their varicose veins NOT to wait. The procedures were not hard to go through and the result was a tremendous relief.”
