Legs That Ache by Supper Are Worth a Look
Ultrasound checks and gentle treatment for varicose and spider veins, right here in Bowling Green.
Two Minute Leg Check
Tick what you notice most days. You see whether an ultrasound makes sense, and which treatments may come up.
Sudden painful swelling in one leg is not a clinic visit. If one leg swells fast, turns warm or red, or you feel chest pain or trouble breathing, call 911 or go to the ER right away. It can be a blood clot.
Tick anything you notice
Pick the things that sound like your legs. Nothing is sent anywhere.
Insurance often covers treatment when symptoms are written down at your visits and compression stockings were tried first.
Book an Ultrasound VisitGeneral information, not a diagnosis. Our doctor decides after an exam and ultrasound. Results vary.
Treatments, Explained Plainly
Duplex Ultrasound
The first step for almost everyone. Warm gel, a wand on your leg, and we watch the blood move on the screen.
Vein Ablation
A thin tube heats the leaky vein from the inside so it closes. Blood reroutes to healthy veins.
Sclerotherapy
Tiny shots of medicine into spider veins and small varicose veins. They fade over a few weeks.
Compression Stockings
Snug stockings that help blood move up. We measure and fit you here, and show you how to get them on.
What Insurance Usually Asks For
Nurses, teachers, factory crews and anyone on their feet all day see us most. If that is you, write things down now. It helps your claim later.
- Symptoms noted at a doctor visit, like aching, swelling or skin changes
- A trial of prescription compression stockings, often several weeks
- An ultrasound that shows valves letting blood flow backward
We handle the paperwork and call you before anything is billed. Medicare and most Kentucky plans are accepted on the live site list.
After ablation, we ask you to walk the same day. Most people are back on the greenway within the week.

Questions People Ask Us
Are varicose veins just cosmetic?
Not always. Bulging veins often come from valves that no longer close, so blood pools in the legs. That can cause aching, swelling and skin changes over time. An ultrasound shows whether that is happening.
Will insurance pay for vein treatment?
Often, when there are symptoms and the ultrasound shows valve problems. Most plans want notes from your visits and a trial of compression stockings first, often several weeks. Spider vein treatment is usually cosmetic and not covered.
Does vein ablation hurt?
We numb the leg along the vein, so most people feel pressure and a little warmth. It takes under an hour, and you walk out afterward. Some soreness for a few days is common.
When should I go to the ER instead?
Go to the emergency room or call 911 for sudden painful swelling in one leg, a leg that turns warm and red, or any chest pain or trouble breathing. Those can be signs of a blood clot and need care right away.
Do I need a referral?
Most patients do not. Some insurance plans ask for one. We check your plan when you call and tell you before your visit.
