Vein Experts
A vein expert is a physician specialist whose education and training directly focuses on the management of circulation diseases involving the venous system. In the United States, the medical education pathway that allows physicians to pursue this specialty involves residency and fellowship training in the field of Vascular Surgery. Vascular Surgeons are the only specialty trained physicians who dedicate their education and careers to the focused management of vein disease.
They are therefore considered the “vein experts” of the medical community. A typical vascular surgeon has completed 4 years of medical school as well as 7 years of residency and fellowship training in order to be classified as a vein expert. It is therefore important to verify that your vein expert is a board-certified vascular surgeon. The American Board of Medical Specialties (the accepted standard for recognizing physician specialties in the USA) considers Vascular Surgeons to be the only specialty that qualifies for vein expert certification. In order to determine if your physician is a board-certified vascular surgeon, you can visit the Society for Vascular Surgery website.
