It is estimated that more than 80 million Americans suffer from some form of venous disorder, but perhaps the most common are varicose and spider veins. These veins, if left untreated, can pose serious health risks over time, but with new, state-of-the-art technology patients no longer have to check into a hospital as new laser treatments can be performed in the privacy of your doctor´s office.

However, be aware that advances in the vein industry have a lot of doctors claiming to be "Vein Specialists," but here are five tips to help you choose your vein doctor:

• Board Certified – Board certified doctors are held to a higher standard as they have established a certain level of expertise within their chosen field. For example, Long Island vein doctor Dr. Mark Schwartz at the North Shore Vein Center is a Board Certified Vascular Surgeon, making him an expert in the surgery specialty that deals with diseases involving the vascular system or, to be specific, arteries and veins.

• RVT or RPVI Certified – A Registered Physician in Vascular Interpretation or Registered Vascular Technologist certification was developed for physicians who practice in a non-invasive vascular laboratory. This gives him the skills and knowledge to perform vascular ultrasound in the diagnosis of vein disease and accurately interpret the test results in the determination of most optimal treatment protocol. This ultrasound credential from the American Registry for Diagnostic Medical Sonography (ARDMS) is considered the global standard.

• Board Certified Phlebologist – a medical specialist in the diagnosis and treatment of venous diseases issued through the American Board of Phlebology. A significant part of a phlebologist's work is involved with spider and varicose veins in the legs.

• Outpatient Procedures - All procedures are performed in-office with local anesthesia and minimal downtime. No hospitalization — no vein stripping!

• Uses the Newest, State-of-the-Art Laser Vein Treatment - the CoolTouch Laser Technology is used to perform an Endovenous Laser Therapy (EVLT) treatment on varicose veins. The doctor inserts a laser fiber into the vein through a small incision and, once the laser is turned on, the inside of the vein is heated and sealed shut. The 1320 nm wavelength requires less heat to close the vein than Diode lasers, which have an 810, 940 or 980 wavelength. This is why it is the most comfortable laser treatment available. There will be a rapid relief of symptoms, no downtime, less bruising than traditional laser treatment, minimal, if any, scarring and the best thing is that the procedure can typically be performed in only 45 minutes.

So to avoid being misled by false claims, use these 5 tips to find the right vein specialist for your varicose and spider vein treatment.
