Dr. Buckner specializes in the full spectrum of venous disorders: varicose veins, spider veins, chronic venous insufficiency, persistent leg swelling and venous ulcers. If it involves the veins in your legs, he’s seen it, and treated it, successfully.

Absolutely. When varicose veins cause pain, swelling or other medical symptoms, insurance, including Medicare, typically covers treatment. We’ve worked with virtually every major plan and handle all the verification and paperwork, so you can focus on feeling better, not fighting with forms.

Here’s what surprises most patients: you’ll likely resume normal activities the same day or next morning. Because these vein treatments are minimally invasive, there’s no extended recovery period keeping you off your feet or away from work.

Not at all. Dr. Buckner uses local anesthesia, and most patients report only mild pressure or a brief warm sensation during treatment. You’ll be awake and comfortable throughout. No general anesthesia. No hospital stay. No prolonged discomfort.

Once a vein is successfully treated and closed, it doesn’t come back. The results are permanent for that particular vein. Of course, maintaining healthy habits and attending follow-up visits helps protect your investment and ensures your legs stay healthy long-term.
