We all know someone who suffers from varicose veins. Whether it's a friend, relative, or maybe even yourself, you probably understand the pain and even embarrassment that sometimes accompanies the problem.
That's why we asked some real patients to share their experience. In doing so, we found very real examples that prove varicose veins no longer need to be a hassle, especially if a resource like Avera Veradia is available.

My problems started in the middle of the night. The pain would kind of wrap around my kneecap and I was having a hard time sleeping.

Jasele Brue

It started about 10 years ago and got worse with each pregnancy. I looked terrible and felt bad. I have three boys, and was tired of covering up at the pool, and avoiding activities that required shorts.

I had heard about the procedure and did some research. I found out the Veradia performed it, and decided to talk to Dr. Casey.

100% successful. No pain, no big deal.

I can now go to the pool and do things with my boys without being so stressed out and embarrassed about my legs.
Angie and Josh Holz
Dr. Casey Was The Solution To A Pain-Free Marriage.
He had a painful varicose vein that extended the length of his leg. She had one of the most complicated cases of varicose veins Dr. Casey had ever seen. Thanks to the expertise at Veradia Vein Center, Angie and Josh Holz of Larchwood, Iowa found the pain-free solution they were looking for in their marriage.
Angie was dealing with severe varicose veins and blood clots that got worse after each pregnancy, explains Matthew Casey, M.D. Her treatment required a combination of laser ablation, ambulatory phlebectomy and sclerotherapy. Most cases aren’t this severe, but if it’s necessary, Veradia Vein Center has the expertise and technology available right here.
Because Josh worked long hours at the grain elevator, he needed relief from his bulging pain simply to do his job.
Josh’s case was fairly straight forward, despite the pain he was feeling. We took care of his problem using laser ablation. Today, you can’t even tell he had varicose veins. Both Josh and Angie are extremely happy with their results. In fact, their only regret is not coming to Veradia Vein Center years ago!
