Interested in scheduling a virtual consultation with a doctor, but wondering what it will be like? A virtual medical appointment, also known as an online medical consultation, virtual visit, or telemedicine visit, occurs entirely online. During your appointment, computers or smartphones with video cameras and internet connection are used to provide direct communication in real time.
You may be surprised at how similar a virtual visit can be to an in-person office visit. Beyond that, telemedicine allows you to access quality medical care specializing in veins from the comfort and safety of your home. At USA Vein Clinics, our specialists are happy to provide our patients with this convenient option.

Symptoms of Vascular Disease
Vascular disease, also known as venous insufficiency, is usually associated with physical effects such as varicose veins and spider veins. Vascular disease is the main cause of these symptoms; However, poor blood circulation in the lower extremities can cause other symptoms that can affect your quality of life.
These symptoms include:
- Swelling in the legs and ankles
- Cramping or pain in the thigh or calf
- Feeling tired or heavy in the legs (common when vascular disease affects the legs)
- Agitation, especially at night
- Itching, dryness, or hardening of the skin on the legs
- Wounds on the legs or ankles that take a long time to heal or do not heal at all
- Leg pain that gets better when you walk or elevate your legs
It can be easy for you to ignore your symptoms, especially if they’re not severe. Many people delay controlling underlying vascular disease because they believe the symptoms are caused by aging. Vascular disease is a progressive condition that can worsen over time. Symptoms of vascular disease in the legs can start as uncomfortable discomfort and become more painful and debilitating if left untreated.
Don’t delay treatment
As mentioned above, vascular disease is a condition that can worsen over time if treatment is avoided. Due to poor blood circulation, vascular disease can have serious complications such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), one of the main causes of pulmonary embolism, an obstruction of the lungs. When the legs and feet don’t get enough blood, there can also be wounds or small cuts that take longer to heal, increasing the risk of infection.
Treatment for vascular disease is effective, efficient and affordable thanks to the development of highly innovative new medical technologies, such as endovenous laser therapy (TLEV) and ClariVein®.
