BOARD CERTIFIED GENERAL SURGEON

Board Certified Interventional Radiologist Dr. Daniel J. Kase at ADVANCED MEDICAL IMAGING is an expert in treating problem varicose veins and spider veins. He can improve your comfort and appearance through ultrasound, external laser, sclerotherapy, EVLT (laser closure) and microphlebectomy (minimally invasive vein removal). Dr. Kase personally performs all procedures on-site, so patients can quickly resume normal activity with little time lost. Varicose & spider veins often cause discomfort and look unattractive. They can cause the legs and feet to swell. Leg muscles may also feel fatigued or throb and cramp at night. The skin at or around the spider veins or varicose veins can itch or burn, and can occasionally lead to more serious problems. Advanced Medical Imaging provides on-site cutting-edge technology ranging from laser therapy to endovascular closure techniques. Dr. Kase has more than 10 years of experience and accepts most major insurances. Visit: www.amiconnecticut.com

COLON CANCER SCREENINGMIDDLETOWN VEIN & AESTHETIC CENTER is devoted to the treatment of varicose veins, spider veins and related venous disorders. It consists of Board Certified Vascular & Interventional Radiologists Drs. Michael Johnson & Bruce Kovalenko who have years of combined experience in the latest techniques and state-of-the-art equipment in the diagnosis and treatment of venous disease. Many patients with venous reflux report dull, achy leg pain, and may be indicated for treatment even if no varicose veins are visible. If left untreated, severe venous reflux can lead to chronic swelling, skin color changes, excema-type symptoms and finally to ulcerations that will not heal until the veins are treated. The doctors’ goal is to treat venous problems and alleviate their symptoms while obtaining the best cosmetic results. This is achieved through sclerotherapy, VNUS closure, laser

therapy, and mini-phlebectomy. All procedures are performed on-site with local anesthesia. Minimally invasive vein surgeries are covered by most insurances, Medicaid & Medicare. Visit: www.ctveins.com
