This PowerPoint presentation shows how to choose a quality doctor that can provide an excellent service in vein treatments.

2. There's no need to make varicose veins or
spider veins force you to be
uncomfortable by having to wear long
clothes to conceal them.

3. Vein treatment in the San Diego area is
now simple and effective, and can really
allow you to enjoy the warm weather
our great city has rather than
constantly trying to conceal those
unsightly veins. In this article we'll
discuss vein treatment here in San
Diego so you'll know all of your options.

4. While it is a simple process to have
your veins treated it is not that
simple to find a well qualified
doctor here in San Diego to
perform the procedure.

5. Many San Diego physicians simply
attend a weekend long seminar on vein
treatments and then try to enhance
their practice revenue by providing the
service. While they have the basics
down you should ensure the doctor you
end up visiting for your treatment is an
expert.

6. An expert vein doctor is someone who (at
a minimum) is board certified by the
American Board of Dermatology and
the American Board of Cosmetic
Surgery, a member of the American
College of Phlebology, associated with
the American Venous Forum, and has
vast experience treating veins.

7. It's important that you only deal with
experts as there are many doctors here
in San Diego county who have only
taken a few seminars or continuing
medical education on the subject, so by
looking for the credentials listed above
you'll ensure you are dealing with an
expert.

8. The best way to find them is to start with
your primary care doctor and ask for a
referral or search the internet on
reputable local sites that list only vein
experts.

9. You should ask some tough questions and
request references and credentials.
Ethical physicians are eager to share
their qualifications.

10. Only seek out those doctors who will
treat your veins with FDA approved
solutions.
The FDA approved solutions are the
safest and most efficient solutions
modern medicine has available.
Some supposed vein doctors here in
America's finest city will try to sell you
cheaper mixed formulas and non-
approved compounds.

11. This will cost you money in the long run
because they don't work as well and
you'll have to have the veins treated
over and over again not mention safety
concerns involved with using non-
approved compounds.

12. There's been a lot of talk here in the
county about treating leg veins with
lasers and they simply do not work as
well as near painless injections do.

13. The hype around town about using lasers
for treating leg veins is simply hype.
Using lasers for vein treatment can be
potentially dangerous as well in the
wrong hands. There is risk of scarring
and it is just more painful.

14. Proper treatment of leg veins done by an
expert San Diego physician can lead to
some excellent results.

15. Results that will allow you to feel
comfortable in a pair of shorts or a
short skirt which our climate calls for.
Residents of San Diego simply cannot be
self conscious about leg veins because
you live in short and skirt weather.
Find an expert physician to assist you.

16. Mitchel Goldman M.D. is double-board
certified dermatologist and cosmetic
surgeon, recognized by the American
Board of Dermatology and the
American Board of Cosmetic Surgery.

17. He is a volunteer Clinical Professor in
Medicine/Dermatology at the University
of California, San Diego and the founder
and Medical Director of Goldman
Butterwick Keel Cosmetic Laser
Dermatology.

18. Goldman literally wrote the book on vein
treatments, known as " sclerotherapy."
His textbook Sclerotherapy: Treatment
of Varicose and Telangiectatic Leg
Veins now in its fourth edition is
considered the gold standard for
medical practitioners.
