Vein specialists serving in Brunswick GA
At Elite Vein Specialists, our mission is to ensure that each patient receives first-class, individualized services – whether it’s a highly technical vein radiofrequency ablation or a simple prescription for compression stockings. To us, every patient is an individual, not a number.
Varicose Veins
Varicose veins occur when valves within a vein are not working properly and interrupt blood from flowing back to the heart. These large, sometimes twisted, raised veins are usually found bulging from the leg’s surface. Varicose veins can be painful and ache, especially if you are standing for long periods of time. Sometimes varicose veins point to more serious circulatory problems or health issues.
Not all varicose vein sufferers have visible signs of problems on the surface of the skin, the veins can be hidden deep within the leg. While some people experience no symptoms, others suffer from pain, swollen legs, discoloration, leg fatigue, burning and restless legs.
Major treatments for varicose veins are radiofrequency ablation, phlebectomy and sclerotherapy – all procedures offered at Elite Vein Specialists. To discover which procedure is right for you or to see if you are possibly at risk for other circulatory problems, contact our medical team for a complimentary ultrasound screening.
Spider Veins
Spider veins are actually a type of varicose vein, named because of their web-like appearance. They are small, dilated blood vessels that appear as red, purple and/or blue on the surface of the skin.
Easy to spot, these tiny veins usually cluster together and are found predominantly on the upper thigh, around the knee or along the ankles. Medically referred to as telangiectasias, spider veins range in size between 0.5 and 1 millimeter.
Our vein clinic offers several different spider vein treatments. To determine which procedure is best for you or if your spider veins are an indication of a more serious vein condition, contact our medical team for a complimentary diagnostic ultrasound.

Are varicose veins dangerous?
Untreated varicose veins can be dangerous because the blood that is pooling in these veins can clot. When varicose veins clot, the condition is called superficial phlebitis and it is usually very painful, but not necessarily dangerous.
When should I be concerned about varicose veins?
If a person has varicose veins, and has any of these symptoms and signs, see a health care professional. Inflammation, discoloration, or ulceration of the skin or swelling of the calf or leg is more typical of problems related to the deeper veins, especially a blood clot.
Various Vein Conditions
At the Elite Vein Specialists, we specialize in treating vein disorders because up to 60% of all Americans, suffer from some type of vein disease. But, just because vein disorders are common doesn’t mean you shouldn’t worry about them.
Varicose veins result from the pooling of blood caused by a decreased flow of blood to the heart from the leg veins. Spider veins are a type of varicose vein, with size being the main difference between the two.

Brunswick, GA
Brunswick (/ˈbrʌnzwɪk/) is a city in and the county seat of Glynn County, Georgia, United States. As the main urban and economic center of the state’s lower southeast, it is the second-largest urban area on the Georgia coast after Savannah and contains the Brunswick Old Town Historic District.
British colonists settled the peninsula in 1738 as a buffer to Spanish Florida. It came under provincial[clarification needed] control in 1771 and was founded as “Brunswick” after the German duchy of Brunswick–Lüneburg, the ancestral home of the House of Hanover. It was incorporated as a city in 1856. Throughout its history, Brunswick has served as an important port city: in World War II, it served as a strategic military location with an operational base for escort blimps and a shipbuilding facility for the U.S. Maritime Commission.
Brunswick supports a progressive economy largely based on tourism and logistics, with a metropolitan GDP of $3.9 billion. The Port of Brunswick handles approximately 10 percent of all U.S. roll-on/roll-off trade—third in the U.S., behind the ports of Los Angeles and Newark. The headquarters of the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center is located 5 miles (8 km) north of the central business district of the city and is adjacent to Brunswick Golden Isles Airport, which provides commercial air service to the area. In the 2010 U.S. census, the population of the city proper was 15,383; the urban area, 51,024; and the metropolitan area, 112,370.
Brunswick is located on a harbor of the Atlantic Ocean, approximately 40 mi (60 km) north of Florida and 80 mi (130 km) south of South Carolina. Brunswick is bordered on the west by Oglethorpe Bay, the East River, and the Turtle River. It is bordered on the south by the Brunswick River and on the east by the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway in the Mackay River, which separates it from the Golden Isles.
