Found in over 20% of adult population, varicose veins are not merely visible and unattractive. They can be uncomfortable, causing swelling and achy, itchy or burning sensations, even considerable pain. They can also have potentially serious health consequences if left unresolved.
Weighing the risks and benefits of different procedures to treat varicose veins, Dr. James Hunter’s primary approach to varicose vein treatment is to remove them under local anesthetic using a micro-incision technique. This procedure is safe, very effective and produces excellent cosmetic results.
The staff at his office are very nice and helpful. We got in to see him in a day. My husband and I found Dr. Hunter very nice and he took the the time to explain everything to us. He was very thorough and VERY knowledgeable. Also great follow up.
Dr. Hunter removed a large varicose vein and all the smaller ones in my shin in his office less than two weeks ago. I am shocked and super impressed with how easy the recovery has been. I was also blown away with the extremely minimal amount of scarring. He had to make lots of small incisions and I was nervous to see the damage under all the bandages, but when I removed them I could not believe how minimal the damage was. There were just some super tiny cuts that have almost completely disappeared already. I am really impressed with my whole experience. While it was a little unnerving being awake during the procedure, I still was grateful to not have to go under general anesthetic and I am incredibly happy with the result!
This doctor did an excellent job removing varicose veins from my left calf. He was also very polite and professional throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend him for this type of treatment.
