Spider Veins Omaha Nebraska

Are you ready to treat those unsightly spider veins on your legs? Finding a specialist in vein treatment is very beneficial and greatly outweighs simply seeing a physician who only has basic knowledge in that subject. Dr. Stephen Torphy specializes in this field and is therefore able to offer more experience and options in diagnosis and treatment than those who treat only occasional patients.

Dr. Stephen Torpy is board certified by the American College of Surgeons. He has been in the practice of general and vascular surgery in Omaha since 1979. Over the past two years his practice, Totally Vein, has evolved to an exclusive practice treating only vein problems. He can help you get rid of your spider veins. At Totally Vein every patient is treated differently in the quest to determine the underlying cause of spider veins. A history and physical examination is performed in addition to a duplex ultrasound examination which is the gold standard for diagnosis of venous problems.

Injection sclerotherapy is a long established, and still the most effective treatment, for spider varicosities, especially in the legs. Laser treatments are often quite effective for facial spiders, as well as small areas of "red" spiders on the legs. Because of anatomic variations (such as variable sizes, skin depth, underlying larger veins), laser treatment is generally not as effective for leg spiders.

Whatever the vein treatment, Dr. Torpy can be expected to do his best for you. Call him at his office in Omaha, Nebraska for a consultation on your spider veins.
